2023’s Godzilla Minus One hit big with audiences, particularly in the west, where it won an Oscar for its visual effects. We already knew another film was on the way, and now we know what it’ll be called: Godzilla Minus Zero.
Toho revealed the title at Godzilla Fest in Tokyo with a one-minute video featuring a watery background. Recall that Minus One ended with Godzilla blowing his head off in the middle of the ocean, which began to remake itself as it sunk further and futher down. Takashi Yamazaki, who previously wrote and directed that film and handled its VFX, is back and reprising all three roles for the sequel, and drew its logo.
What does the “Minus Zero” mean? That’s currently a mystery; the press release says to “stay tuned for future updates.” At the moment, we don’t know if we’ll be checking back in with Kōichi and Noriko, the leads of Minus One, or spending time with a new cast of characters. But you can expect the film to jump further in the timeline.
We’ll have more on Godzilla Minus Zero as news comes out. Until then, might be a good time to watch Minus One again in its various formats and wherever it’s streaming.
