The King of Monsters is revving up to roar again.<\/p>\n
Legendary Tokyo-based Toho Studios shared the title Monday morning for mighty Godzilla\u2019s next rampage, revealing that the follow-up to the 2023 smash-hit Godzilla Minus One<\/em> will be called Godzilla Minus Zero <\/em>(also styled Godzilla -0.0<\/em>) and that Oscar-winning director and VFX supervisor Takashi Yamazaki will return at the helm.<\/p>\n More from The Hollywood Reporter<\/strong><\/p>\n The title was unveiled during this year\u2019s \u201cGodzilla Day 2025\u201d event in Tokyo, where a teaser logo and first-look artwork were revealed \u2014 both leaning into stark black-and-white brush strokes that mirror the minimalist design sensibility of the previous film\u2019s branding. Yamazaki co-drew the emblem, signaling creative continuity while potentially teasing a darker, more expansive monster mythoscape.<\/p>\n Godzilla Minus One<\/em> set several new benchmarks. Made on a reported budget of just $15 million, it defied expectations by earning more than $113 million worldwide and became the first film in the Godzilla franchise\u2019s 70-year history to win an Academy Award, taking home the Oscar for best visual effects (in a category crowded with Hollywood tentpoles with vastly bigger budgets). It also became the all-time top-grossing live-action Japanese film at the North American box office.<\/p>\n According to insiders, the new film is being positioned not just as a sequel but as a statement piece. Yamazaki and Toho are reportedly locking in a late-2026 global release window, with production ramping up in New Zealand and Norway later this year. Full cast and story details remain under wraps.<\/p>\n Building upon the success of Minus One<\/em>, Toho can be expected to step up both the scale and ambition for Godzilla Minus Zero<\/em> \u2014 leveraging an re-awoken monster franchise that\u2019s now firmly in blockbuster-prestige territory for viewers throughout the West. Godzilla Minus Zero<\/em> will be the 31st Japanese feature in the famed kaiju franchise (not including the U.S. co-productions made with Legendary Entertainment).<\/p>\n Best of The Hollywood Reporter<\/strong><\/p>\n Sign up for THR’s Newsletter<\/a>.
