Toho has revealed a new anime project based on Godzilla, produced by Orange and IGLOO STUDIO. While the project doesn’t have a name yet, the story focuses on a boy who possesses the power of Godzilla.
The announcement comes courtesy of the Japanese Godzilla Twitter/X account, which introduces the tagline of the series: “Is that boy human, or Godzilla?” Orange has previously worked on Godzilla Singular Point, as well as both Trigun Stampede and Stargaze.
Recently, TOHO has officially announced that the sequel to Godzilla Minus One will be titled Godzilla Minus Zero. The company has also released the first teaser and logo for the upcoming movie. Takashi Yamazaki will return to direct the sequel, with TOHO producing it. Shirogumi will be in charge of the VFX. The logo for Godzilla Minus Zero depicts a different variation of the “G” in the key art, with many speculating that it is depicting a woman praying, or that it could be alluding to the beloved monster Hedorah.
An article from The Hollywood Reporter reports that “the new film is being positioned not just as a sequel but as a statement piece.” TOHO is targeting a late 2026 release date for the film and will ramp up production in New Zealand and Norway. The company will reveal more details about the cast and story at a later date.
Godzilla Minus One is available now for streaming on Netflix. The black and white version, Godzilla Minus Color, is also accessible on the service. The release date for the upcoming new Godzilla anime is currently unknown.
