Toho Studios has announced Godzilla Minus Zero (also styled Godzilla -0.0) as the next chapter, with Takashi Yamazaki returning to write, direct, and oversee VFX.

The previous film, Godzilla Minus One (2023), grossed about $113 million worldwide and became a milestone for the franchise, including an Oscar nomination and win for Best Visual Effects.

The new film is described as more than a sequel, potentially a broader statement piece with expanded scope, with production expected to ramp up in New Zealand and Norway for a late-2026 global release.

Fans greeted the news with excitement, predicting a massive impact and noting potential for 4D screenings.

Some fans speculated the logo design hides a Kaiju face within the G motif, fueling branding interpretations.
