At 1:30 it looks like that is Rodan dive bombing from the sky and landing in the ocean.
Good eye! I was wondering why Raptors were falling out of the sky (did Gozira now have EMP powers?).
That's what made me go back and take a second look because that didn't make sense. My only other thought was that it could have something to do with Godzilla's Atomic Breath causing some sort of EMP which took out their electronics but I don't think that will be revealed during that scene.
I've put some more thought into it and I remember during the trailer that was leaked there's a part where it looks like Godzilla is standing beside a giant monster corpse but it doesn't look like any other monster from the Godzilla universe.
Personally I'm thinking there will be some sort of generic monster that is simply there to be cannon fodder. Godzilla will be on a rampage and suddenly another monster will appear just when things seem like they can't get any worse. This thing won't stand a chance against Godzilla though since I think he's going to destroy it with his Atomic Breath and it will be one hell of a reveal. During the scene from the leaked trailer the body appears to be burning, or at the very least everything around it is a smoking wreck and the smoke is used to mask the true size of Godzilla. The Atomic Breath will come into play just a humanity is thinking "How can this get any worse?" and then we find out Godzilla basically breathes a nuclear blast.
With this other monster defeated Godzilla continues on and the military slowly files in behind him thinking they might block his escape back to the ocean and can somehow trap him on land. This is when Rodan appears (notice Godzilla's entrance to the San Francisco bay is at night but when the supposed Rodan attack takes place it is early morning (I know this because of the fog and I live in the area). Rodan is following Godzilla I believe and the military is completely caught off guard by it because he flies.

You hit the nail on the head here. This makes me really want to see it.
Oh and Bryan Cranston.
God a few other theories I've built up including the one above but I've also got a little more on Gigan I think.
Notice how in the trailer the military finds damaged nuclear warheads covered in slim or something in the jungle. I think this is another sign of Gigan drawing power and slowly taking form from these. Those will be what he initially draws his strength from and shapes him into that weird ooze tentacle thing we see in the trailer and I think the part where they find that is right before Gigan fully emerges completely catching the military by surprise.
Gigan emerging I think will be what draws Godzilla back to the ocean wanting to take him on and prove his dominance. It's also during this time I believe Hideto Ogata will re-enter the picture (he's the survivor from the original who helped Daisuke Serizawa, the creator of the oxygen destroyer which was used to kill Godzilla) either through the military locating him or by his own volunteer. The original site of where the oxygen destroyer was used is unknown but he knows (he was the captain of a ship, makes sense that he'd know how to find locations in the ocean) and the military will attempt to retrieve it with his aid.
The more I think about it the more I'm realizing this is a full blown sequel to the 1954 original with plans to continue forward with other films introducing the other monsters in various ways.
