Godzilla has become one of pop culture’s most iconic titans, with over 38 films, countless comic books, TV shows, and video games under its belt since the original film's release in 1954. One of the more recent entries - the 2023 film Godzilla Minus One- was widely praised as one of the franchise’s best, even winning the Oscar for Best Visual Effects at the 96th Academy Awards. Since then, fans have been eagerly hoping for a sequel, and it looks like their prayers have finally been answered.

After the massive success of Godzilla Minus One, director Takashi Yamazaki is returning to helm the next Godzilla film for Toho, which recently announced a whopping investment of 120 billion yen to further globalize the iconic franchise. The upcoming film will serve as a direct sequel to Godzilla Minus One, and is expected to be set in Japan, with production expected to begin in late 2025. The announcement has left fans ecstatic, thrilled at the prospect of seeing their favorite monster roar back into action once again.

Hilarious Fan Reactions

Fans were thrilled by the news of a sequel to Godzilla Minus One, but many couldn’t resist taking to the internet to share their hilarious reactions.

"Godzilla Minus 2," a fan wrote.

A new Godzilla movie that’s a sequel to Godzilla Minus One? So...does that mean it’ll be called Godzilla Minus Two? At this rate, we’ll be in the negatives faster than Godzilla can destroy a city block!

"Imagine if they go full horror this time. Godzilla in the dark with rain? I’m not surviving that," pointed another.

This fan sure has a wild idea for the sequel - make the new Godzilla movie go full horror. Imagine sitting in the dark, tense music building...and then BOOM! A 100-meter-tall jump scare. Now that’s a scream-worthy blockbuster!

How about making Godzilla do a recliner kick in the new movie? Now that would be quite the break from the usual fire-breathing chaos!

"Wouldn't a sequel to Godzilla Minus One just be... Godzilla?? -1+1= Godzilla," a fan commented.

This fan sure seems to have worked all the calculations out. The sequel to Godzilla Minus One should logically be called Godzilla Zero, or just Godzilla. You know, because -1 + 1 = 0.

"Hell yeah we eventually gettin Godzilla plus one where he finally gets a wedding date," joked another.

In case Yamazaki ever decides to make a movie called Godzilla Plus One, he could perhaps give the monster a wedding date and finally end his 250 million-year-long loneliness, as this fan humorously suggests.

The news of a Godzilla Minus One sequel being in the works has certainly left fans hyped. As production gears up and the release draws closer, it’s time to prepare ourselves for some more monstrous destruction!
