Now, simply because the world of the Monsterverse has expanded to incorporate dozens of different monsters apart from Godzilla, Toho’s flagship Godzilla franchise is poised to do the identical in late 2026.
Within the recently-named sequel Godzilla Minus Zero, the world’s most well-known radioactive menace is about to tackle one other monster. Whereas there aren’t any plot particulars obtainable but, hypothesis is of course flying about which ally or enemy from Godzilla’s intensive Toho historical past will seem, and whether or not Godzilla would be the one attacking or defending Japan after they do.
Whereas there have been no public clues in any respect about who else in addition to the newly-regenerated Godzilla will seem in Godzilla Minus Zero, it is attainable that Yamazaki could have already proven his hand exterior the film trade.

As with the primary experience, the second expertise (titled Godzilla The Trip: Nice Conflict) locations the viewers in the midst of a battle, however this time it is between Godzilla and a brand new model of Mechagodzilla. As soon as once more, it was Yamazaki who was accountable for the design of the creatures, that means we have now seen Yamazaki’s preliminary visions for Godzilla and his two most iconic antagonists.
Predictably, the presence of the 2 villains in tasks written and directed by Yamazaki that focus on his model of Godzilla factors to at least one (or each) of King Ghidorah and Mechagodzilla showing in Godzilla Minus Zero. Given the considerably grounded nature and post-WWII setting of Godzilla Minus One, a Japanese-controlled Mechagodzilla feels unlikely given the acute technological soar that may must be made in that universe.
Nevertheless, each King Ghidorah and Mechagodzilla are attainable within the context of alien interference on Earth, as has been the case with the 2 traditional villains again and again with Toho. If Yamazaki chooses to embrace custom in what has been known as a “assertion” film, then Godzilla Minus Zero might see one in all Godzilla’s easiest baddies present as much as terrorize Japan, making their damaging former adversary their protector by default.
