According to an article from Bloomberg Japan, the next film from director Takashi Yamazaki will be a direct sequel to Godzilla Minus One. Yamazaki directed the original film, which released in 2023.
Godzilla Minus One focuses on a different, more rageful iteration of the titular monster. The movie received an Oscar for best visual effects. While TOHO has not confirmed any official details about the follow-up’s story, in a previous interview, Yamazaki stated that he wanted a sequel to have “a more serious tone of kaiju-versus-kaiju with human drama.”
Recently, WEBTOON and IDW announced a collaboration where they would digitally publish the Godzilla: Unnatural Disasters anthology comic. IDW describes it as follows:
The King of the Monsters is back in this compendium collecting three comics series: Legends, In Hell, and Rage Across Time!
In a world where monsters roam freely, some stories have been lost to time… until NOW! In Legends, the kaiju of Godzilla’s fearsome rogues’ gallery get the spotlight. Featuring Anguirus, Rodan, Titanosaurus, Hedorah, and Kumonga!
Then, meet Godzilla’s greatest adversary of all time–the impossible tortures of Hell! It’s a monster battle that takes you through the depths of the underworld.
Move over dinosaurs… monsters used to rule the planet! In Rage Across Time, travel to different time periods to examine the origin of myths that fueled nightmares: Feudal Japan, ancient Greece, medieval England, and classic Rome!
Godzilla Minus One is available now for streaming on Netflix. The black and white version, Godzilla Minus Color, is also accessible on the service. Takashi Yamazaki will direct the film’s sequel.
