Not only is the monster starring in his very own streaming series, Monarch: The Legacy Of Monsters, but also in two successful series of films in both Hollywood and Japan. Godzilla is a true international movie star. As fans eagerly await Warner Bros. continuation of the Godzilla X Kong chronicles, Toho Studios is continuing its breakthrough Reiwa era with Godzilla Minus Zero. The direct follow-up to Godzilla Minus One, perhaps the best Godzilla movie of the modern age, and a prequel to the off-beat satire, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.avclub.com\/political-satire-and-monster-mayhem-collide-in-shin-god-1798189094\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Shin Godzilla<\/a>, Godzilla Minus Zero finally arrives in the one city that has long eluded the King of the Monsters, New York City. We know. But Roland Emmerich\u2019s Godzilla in New York is a comically low bar for the giant lizard to clear.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Directed by Minus One filmmaker Takashi Yamazaki, Minus Zero picks up two years after the last movie, and follows the survivors of the last movie\u2019s attacks, <a href=\"https:\/\/variety.com\/2026\/film\/news\/godzilla-minus-zero-trailer-new-york-1236712354\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">per Variety<\/a>. However, little is known about the plot outside of Godzilla\u2019s trip to the Five Boroughs. It is filmed for IMAX, a first for Japanese Godzilla movies, which is good news for people who like their \u2018zillas big, loud, and out of control.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Godzilla Minus One was a monster success for Toho. In addition to being a very good movie about survivor\u2019s guilt and PTSD in postwar Japan, Minus One was a box office smash, roaring up $116 million worldwide to become the highest-grossing Japanese Godzilla movie ever. It was also the first in the franchise to win an Academy Award, which isn\u2019t bad for a 70-year-old lizard with some of the worst breath you\u2019ve ever smelled.<\/p>\n<p>Godzilla Minus Zero\u00a0makes landfall on November 3, 2026.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"We\u2019re living in a golden age of Godzilla.
