Toho Unveils 'Godzilla World' as 'Minus Zero' Targets November Release
The move signals a push to build spin-offs under Toho’s own banner distinct from Legendary’s MonsterVerse.
Overview
- Keiji Ota, Toho’s Chief Godzilla Officer, confirmed a new expanded universe called Godzilla World to develop original concepts and spin-offs.
- Ota said past versions of Godzilla could return and noted that different takes can coexist, indicating the Minus One films may sit alongside rather than fold into Godzilla World.
- Godzilla Minus Zero is scheduled to open worldwide on November 3, with director Takashi Yamazaki returning to lead the sequel.
- The first trailer shows Godzilla heading for the United States, and Yamazaki said some scenes use English as the U.S. military features heavily in the story.
- AMC plans a multi-night theatrical re-release of Godzilla Minus One on May 22, while Legendary’s MonsterVerse continues with Godzilla x Kong: Supernova slated for March 26, 2027.
