A new Godzilla movie won't be coming for a while

Don't expect a rushed sequel following the success of Godzilla Minus One.
Alex Hopley Editor UK 27 December 2023

Godzilla Minus One has been a huge hit for Toho, both in and outside of Japan. The movie has put a lot of fresh eyes on the biggest, baddest lizard around, and with that, there comes the question of what's next for Godzilla.

According to Toho executive Minami Ichikawa, the answer is not a lot. At least for now. Speaking with GQ Japan, Ichikawa said the following: "Movies are the power of works. I want to have a good idea, a good script, a good director, and a good cast, and work on it carefully. Because Godzilla is a character that is worth it."

Godzilla's 70th anniversary is coming up next year, and so some fans were hoping we'd see something put to film, but it's likely that there are going to be some other celebrations for the monster instead.
