Wissenswertes

Godzilla Minus Zero is a 2026 Japanese epic kaiju film written, directed, and with visual effects by Takashi Yamazaki. A sequel to Godzilla Minus One (2023), it is the 39th film in the Godzilla franchise, the 34th film thereof produced by Toho, and the sixth installment in the franchise's Reiwa era. The film stars Ryunosuke Kamiki, Minami Hamabe, Hidetaka Yoshioka, Yuki Yamada, Kuranosuke Sasaki, Sakura Ando, and Miou Tanaka reprising their roles from Minus One, with Min Tanaka, Masami Nagasawa, and Jun Kunimura also starring as new characters.

Production

According to producer Kazuaki Kishida, planning for a sequel to Godzilla Minus One began in late May 2023 after a strong internal reaction at the film's first completed screening for Toho employees. Director Takashi Yamazaki subsequently delivered an initial five-page plot outline for Godzilla Minus Zero shortly before Minus One's November 2023 release.

Throughout the film's theatrical run, Yamazaki repeatedly told interviewers that no discussions of a sequel had taken place, while sharing ideas he had for one. In 2026, Yamazaki admitted that his earlier claims of "no talks" were untrue and that he had intentionally "planted the seed" for a continuation by hinting at future story directions.

Following the critical and commercial success of Godzilla Minus One—which became one of the highest-grossing Japanese films of all time and won the Academy Award for Best Visual Effects among its many accolades—Yamazaki was confirmed on November 1, 2024, to helm another Godzilla film. The announcement was first made during the film's Japanese television broadcast on Nippon Television's Friday Road Show.

In June 2025, the Agency for Cultural Affairs–commissioned "Film Staff Development Project" disclosed that filming for Yamazaki's next movie would take place from early August to December 2025, and they were seeking film students to recruit. On July 17, Bloomberg News reported that Toho International's president, Kōji Ueda, clarified that the new Godzilla film would be a sequel and a 2026 release was currently planned.

Principal photography took place with extras on location in Ibaraki Prefecture from August 30 to September 14, 2025. The Hollywood Reporter claimed additional shooting took place in New Zealand and Norway. However, according to an official press release, the film was shot entirely in Japan. Filming was expected to wrap in late December. It became the first Japanese production filmed for IMAX.
