Toho Unveils 'Godzilla Minus Zero' as Next Film With Yamazaki Back at the Helm

Announced at Godzilla Fest with a stark teaser and new logo, the sequel keeps story and date under wraps as trade outlets report overseas shoots and a late-2026 target.

Overview

  • The title Godzilla -0.0 (Godzilla Minus Zero) was officially revealed during Godzilla Day in Tokyo and confirmed via Toho’s X account.
  • Takashi Yamazaki returns to write, direct, and supervise VFX, with Shirogumi on effects and Toho Studios and Robot producing; the logo shown was co-drawn by Yamazaki.
  • Toho has not announced plot, cast, or a release date, and any casting chatter, including possible returns from the prior film, remains unconfirmed.
  • Industry reporting says production is expected to ramp up later this year with shoots in New Zealand and Norway and an eye toward a late-2026 global release.
  • The follow-up builds on Godzilla Minus One’s momentum, which earned strong box office and the franchise’s first Academy Award for Best Visual Effects.
