Could Godzilla Vs Ultraman ever happen?
Hello once again, LegendZilla here. For years, a very popular dream match among fans of the Kaiju genre has been that of Godzilla Vs Ultraman, along with the idea of Godzilla Vs Gamera. Someone brought this up in another thread, but do any of you think that such a film has a chance of actually coming out in our lifetime?
Many of you are surely skeptics and naysayers to this idea, but if we live in a world in which Godzilla will finally get a rematch with Kong, I’d say anything’s possible. Given that Toho themselves are producing Shin Ultraman with Tsuburaya productions, I would say that increases the likelihood as well. At the end of the day, what is your stance on Godzilla and Ultraman having a cinematic face off? Do you like it, or do you think it’s a mere pipe dream and should remain that way?
For those of you who actually do support the idea, what do you think should happen in the film? What do you imagine the premise being like and what other monsters could appear? I would appreciate if you could all refrain from bringing up Jiras.

Re: Could Godzilla Vs Ultraman ever happen?
I think a Godzilla/Ultraman crossover is way more plausible than a Godzilla vs Gamera crossover, given the greater popularity/iconic status (and potential $$$) of Ultraman. Plus you have the Shin Ultraman connection like you mentioned.
If not a movie, then maybe merchandise crossovers like the Godzilla/Evangelion stuff.
If it ever happened, I’d definitely be excited for it! I guess it’d be more of a story with Godzilla mysteriously appearing in the Ultraverse. A Godzilla vs Red King match up would be neat too.

I think they already made one back in the 70s, called Zone Fighter.

Re: Could Godzilla Vs Ultraman ever happen?
I can see Shin Ultraman's marketing campaign featuring some Shin Godzilla crossover (or maybe some Evangelion crossover instead idk) an actual crossover though? Eh.. not sure. I doubt Shin G and Shin U are connected, and Tsuburaya doesn't really do actual, full on crossovers.

Re: Could Godzilla Vs Ultraman ever happen?
I mean the fact that both films seem to be going for similar approaches does help make the idea possible. For crying out loud we were able to get an Evangelion and Shin Godzilla crossover in the form of a ride at Universal so it's certainly possible.
Why am I always chasing rainbows?

Oh, damn, that could totally work.

Re: Could Godzilla Vs Ultraman ever happen?
You'd be better off banking on the mentioned merch and 4D ride collabs.

Maybe like a 4D ride. Like Shin Godzilla vs Shin Ultraman ride or something. A film though, would be somewhat interesting. If it does happen, it’s going to make a lot of money.

You know what, that's not a bad idea! That should definitely happen! Would be an easy excuse to throw in an extra Ultraman alien, just like they did with Eva.

Re: Could Godzilla Vs Ultraman ever happen?
For real though I can see it happening in some capacity, especially post Shin Godzilla/Ultraman, similar to the Godzilla vs. Evangelion ride. As for an actual film, it's probably more likely than Godzilla vs Gamera ever will.

I mean, 10 years ago I'd have said Godzilla vs. Eva would never happen so, who knows?
I don't think it be a full length feature film as much as it is a short film.

Re: Could Godzilla Vs Ultraman ever happen?
I would love for it to happen
The most plausible way to do it would be to do a Shin Godzilla/Shin Ultraman cross promotion Vs. ride or something like that given just how damn popular Shin has become

Re: Could Godzilla Vs Ultraman ever happen?
I believe it'll happen one day, the franchises are destined to. Now, I hope the first crossover is in tokusatsu, mainly to honor Eiji Tsuburaya's hand in crafting these two icons of Japan.

Re: Could Godzilla Vs Ultraman ever happen?
I don't see Godzilla going back to suitmation. Especially not in a movie. So movie Godzilla vs movie Ultraman, it's going to be CGI. You can hope what you want, but it'd be hope wasted.MechaGoji Bro7503 wrote: ↑Tue Apr 13, 2021 7:55 am I believe it'll happen one day, the franchises are destined to.

Also, I don't think it's destined either. I mean, I'd like for it to happen, and it certainly could happen, but it's no done deal. As with most things, guarantees aren't being offered. They're own by two different competing studios. It's like saying Batman and Spider-Man will crossover on the big screen in the next few decades, I don't think WB or Disney would play nice. Now, are Toho and Tsuburaya Productions like WB and Disney? I have no clue. They may be willing to collaborate more. But we can't assume that they will or must.
I unapologetically, wholeheartedly, and without a doubt hate Godzilla vs Kong.

Re: Could Godzilla Vs Ultraman ever happen?
I'd want Godzilla to only go back to suitmation for this particular crossover, the new Ultra shows and projects use toku and they look great. Nah, I don't think it's hope wasted. Especially in a Japanese project, a battle between Godzilla & Ultras is bound to have one encounter be in tokusatsu. Be it a special event, or an actual film. Every other main Godzilla project can remain CGI.Vakanai wrote: ↑Wed Apr 14, 2021 12:16 amI don't see Godzilla going back to suitmation. Especially not in a movie.

Not destined? Godzilla fought the Evas of all things, who would've saw that coming were it not for Anno's work in the Godzilla franchise? Sure, Godzilla and Ultraman are from two different studios, but they share a same creator. That's my whole reason
