We know that Godzilla Minus One writer-director Takashi Yamazaki is developing a follow-up for as soon as next year, but that’s not the only Godzilla film on the table in Japan.
Toho International president Koji Ueda revealed to Bloomberg that there is still potential for a sequel to Shin Godzilla.
A new 4K restoration of the 2016 film is set to stomp into North American theaters on August 14 from Gkids. Perhaps a strong box office showing could help encourage Toho to move forward with another installment in addition to the Minus One follow-up.
Co-directed by Hideaki Anno (Neon Genesis Evangelion) and Shinji Higuchi (Attack on Titan), Shin Godzilla stars Hiroki Hasegawa, Yutaka Takenouchi, and Satomi Ishihara.
When a massive monster emerges from the deep and tears through Tokyo, the government scrambles to save its citizens. A rag-tag team of volunteers cuts through a web of red tape to uncover the monster’s weakness and its mysterious ties to a foreign superpower. But time is not on their side—the greatest catastrophe to ever befall the world is about to evolve right before their very eyes.
Toho is also planning “a still-untitled Southeast Asia-focused project” in addition to co-producing the second season of “Monarch: Legacy of Monsters,” which will return to Apple TV+ next year.
Meanwhile, the next film in Legendary’s MonsterVerse, Godzilla x Kong: Supernova, is in production for release on March 26, 2027. Grant Sputore (I Am Mother) is directing from a script by Dave Callaham (Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings).
Beyond that, Godzilla The Ride: The Great Clash opens at Japan’s Seibuen Amusement Park on August 1, and Kong x Godzilla: The Ride is expected to open at South Korea’s Lotte World Adventure in December.
