Godzilla Minus One sequel?! - Takashi Yamazaki [New Godzilla Film] confirmed

[LegendZilla]

Could we get our first cast announcement by the fall? Also, I'm expecting we'll get our first teaser, followed by main trailer around the same time in 2026 as last time.

I don't know. Could we? You tell us.

I think maybe a poster and a title at Godzilla day this year. I would love a look at the new Godzilla personally.

[Showa Gyaos]

Toho could say something on November 3rd like they did in 2022, but there are no guarantees of that.

They could say it any other time as well, but I think Godzilla Day would be the perfect time for them to do such a thing.

Im dying for some news about this film.

My excitement for the Monsterverse has all but died. I am very curious to see what Yamazaki is going to do with this sequel though.

Hopefully we get something to go along with the commencement of filming in a few weeks.

I've said it before, but we're actually at a point where it's worth being excited about the Monsterverse again. The last two movies were the same because they were headed up by the same guy. We have a new director coming in for the next one, and he's a virtual unknown. The MV has historically been good about allowing its directors flexibility to put their own spin and style on each movie, so there's no real reason to think we'll be getting another bowl of fun-but-lazy Wingard slop. It could come out very different, especially in a post-Minus world where Godzilla's potential is common knowledge now.

But yes, it's easier to be hyped for Yamazaki when we know for sure what kind of quality he's capable of delivering.

Actually, I have really enjoyed Wingard’s films.

Regarding my apathy for the MV, I suppose it’s best explained in an analogy of sorts. I would liken it to craving a certain type of food, and then gorging on it. I’m simply satiated at this point. I get the general vibe of what they’re doing and even with the stylistic changes from director to director, I still see a through line connecting them all in spirit.

It’s very much the same way I feel about Marvel films in general. Even if they start making quality films again, I feel very much like I have “been there and done that.”

With Yamazaki there is at least a novelty factor involved….for now. I’m sure if Toho has their way they will run this into the ground as well but for now, I am excited.

IMHO, it doesn't matter to some of us if a new director is behind the wheel or not. Sometimes an entry is just so bad to kill someone's interest in a property/continuity. I've no interest in seeing someone try to turn Wingard's poop into "diamonds." Like there's been two movies in a row that were terrible. What's the point in sticking around, new guy or not?

Eh, not really, even if my interest is none - the difference between the 2014 film and Wingard's is more than "stylistic."

The amount of hate some of you have for Wingard can only be compared to Snyder bros and their disdain for James Gunn.

You've only seen one of those movies, though. I'm not going to tell you what to do, but at some point, you should consider the possibility that part of the problem might be on your end. Imagine if someone in 1955 had drawn a line like this at Godzilla Raids Again, you know?

[Kagutaba]

I don't know. I'm remaining hopeful considering they don't go ahead with a versus sequel just for the sake of a versus sequel with Shin Godzilla. I think these movies work best when there's a genuine story to tell and not just to meet some quota. I'm hoping the Reiwa era will continue to favor quality over quantity.

Sometimes I just takes one film to turn people off of a franchise Vakanai is in no obligation to give the MonsterVerse another chance and frankly I respect the fact that they've completely separated themselves from that discussion and allow those who still enjoy the MV to enjoy without having to constantly hammer why GvK was terrible to them in the MV subforum.

Not really. I just hate his movies, think he's incompetent as a director, and won't watch another of his movies - I don't make personal insults or threats on his life. People are free to think some people just suck at what they do.

To be fair, if they felt that strongly on the drop in quality and change in direction? They would've been pretty right to do so - the rest of the Showa era of films very likely would not have made them happy. That's actually a pretty good line for them to have drawn if that's how their tastes aligned.

Please don't say that - it feels rather condescending.

[DynomikeGojira]

I didn't mean for it to sound condescending so I apologize.

Same reason I don't go into the Shin or Singular point threads anymore. There is enough Godzilla we all can enjoy something, no need for some of us to bring others down.

I wasn't sure where to put this or the Twitter link but though this was intreasting.

I personally think another series of films would start to be too much but I wouldn't mind a King Ghidorah film where he attacks another planet like Venus and defeats 2 or 3 weaker monsters and the end teases him coming to Earth and fightinf Godzilla.

Minus One sequel could release next year

[LegendZilla]

If we're lucky, we'll get an announcement of the film's title and release date on Godzilla Day. By early spring, we'll get a confirmation over it being a Vs film.These are just my rough estimates.

[DynomikeGojira]

That's my guess as well

Next film to begin filming on August 30th
