Cooper Hood is the Associate Editor for all new movie releases, in theaters and on streaming. In addition to writing articles about these titles and upcoming releases, he also oversees content planning for each, ensuring that ScreenRant continues to cover major releases for months after their release.

He has written various reviews for ScreenRant that appear on Rotten Tomatoes, coordinated Oscars and San Diego Comic-Con coverage, appeared on CNN to talk about Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning, and done select interviews with talent over the years.

Just like the King of the Monsters, the Godzilla franchise will never truly die, with several upcoming movies featuring the kaiju. Japan's giant lizard has been a cultural icon for over 70 years, following his landmark debut in Ishirō Honda and Toho's 1954 masterpiece.

Since then, there have been nearly 40 Godzilla movies released across Japanese and American studios. This has brought lows like Roland Emmerich's 1998 feature and highs like 2016's Shin Godzilla and Takashi Yamazaki's Oscar-winning Godzilla Minus One. There have been movies for all types of Godzilla fans throughout this run.

While not every film with Gojira is successful, Toho and Hollywood have refused to leave him be. There is a constant developmental process to come up with new films about the monster. Godzilla Minus Zero is the latest result of the character's continued relevance, with the 2026 movie showing once again how popular Godzilla is domestically and abroad.

Due to Toho and Hollywood's diligence in development, Godzilla Minus Zero is not the last movie with the character on the horizon. Multiple Godzilla movies are in the works. Some are already done filming and gearing up for release, while others are still very early on. Here are all the Godzilla movies in development.

4 Godzilla X Kong: Supernova

The Monsterverse's version of Godzilla is returning sooner than you realize. Godzilla X Kong: Supernova is set to hit theaters on March 26, 2027. It comes three years after audiences last saw Godzilla and Kong team up on the big screen, but the gap between Godzilla's movies is much shorter, with it releasing only four months after Godzilla Minus Zero.

It is the sixth movie in the Monsterverse and the third time Godzilla and Kong will share the screen in this universe. Whereas the previous two were directed by Adam Wingard, Supernova comes from Grant Sputore (I Am Mother). The movie is expected to revolve around Godzilla and Kong uniting to face off against SpaceGodzilla, whose involvement is not officially confirmed but has been hinted at with the title and previous writing credits.

Godzilla X Kong: Supernova features a mostly new human cast around the Titans. Kaitlyn Dever (The Last of Us), Jack O'Connell (28 Years Later: The Bone Temple), Alycia Debnam-Carey (Fear the Walking Dead), Matthew Modine (Stranger Things), Delroy Lindo (Sinners), and Sam Neill (Jurassic Park) headline the ensemble, while Dan Stevens returns as Trapper from Godzilla X Kong: The New Empire.

3 Shin Godzilla 2

Toho found a great new take on Godzilla in 2016 with Shin Godzilla. Hideaki Anno and Shinji Higuchi's film chronicles Japanese officials as they attempt to handle the emergence of an evolving monster, which leaves death and destruction everywhere it goes. Given the critical and financial success (87% on Rotten Tomatoes and $83 million box office off a sub-$10 million budget), a sequel seemed inevitable.

Despite initially considering the idea, Toho canceled Shin Godzilla 2 in 2018. Anno later confirmed that an entire proposal for a sequel, titled Shin Godzilla Raids Again, was written and submitted to Toho (via Toho Kingdom). This seemed to be the end of the line for the follow-up, but that changed in 2025. Toho's international head, Koji Ueda, confirmed Shin Godzilla 2 was in development.

Sadly, there have been no updates on the status of Shin Godzilla 2 since then. It's unclear what the current status is or when it could come out. All we know for sure is that it won't arrive in 2027, as Toho and Legendary's deal for the Monsterverse prohibits them from releasing movies in the same calendar year. That makes 2028 the soonest Shin Godzilla 2 — or any additional Godzilla movie — could hit theaters.

2 Untitled Toho Godzilla Movie

Toho is also known to be working on another movie for its iconic monster. At the same time Ueda confirmed Shin Godzilla 2, it was revealed that the studio was developing a standalone Godzilla movie set in Southeast Asia. That detail is the only thing Toho has confirmed.

Toho has been increasing its efforts to make Godzilla more popular in Singapore, Indonesia, Thailand, the Philippines, and the rest of Southeast Asia. After establishing Toho Entertainment Asia in Singapore, the studio released an animated short film called Godzilla: A New Roar in Southeast Asia in 2025.

Whatever comes from Toho's Southeast Asia Godzilla movie, it should be expected that it maintains the kaiju's unique regional design. This version features more spikes on the shoulders and chest, but the standout element is Godzilla's atomic breath color being green for the first time ever.

1 Will Godzilla Minus Zero Get A Sequel?

Toho and Takashi Yamazaki have so far not confirmed that Godzilla Minus Zero is getting a sequel, but one can't be completely ruled out. The 2026 sequel has been another huge hit critically and financially. And while Godzilla Minus Zero's ending works as a place to end this story, it does not prevent another film from being made at some point.

The important thing for a potential third Godzilla Minus film is that if it happens, it won't be with as quick of a turnaround as there was between Minus One and Minus Zero. Yamazaki has his first English-language movie lined up for a 2028 release. That will occupy his attention for the foreseeable future.

This will allow Yamazaki to get a break from Godzilla and Toho to see exactly how successful Minus Zero winds up being. After focusing on some other Godzilla movies at first, it is possible the two sides will come back together in a few years and hammer out a way to turn this into a trilogy.

For Yamazaki, he told THR that he's "fifty-fifty" on whether a third movie will happen. On one hand, he said, "I’m quite satisfied and happy with the current ending we have." He's not eager to mess with that if he doesn't have a story worth telling. However, the director also said he would be "a bit sad" if Minus Zero was his last Godzilla movie.

Even if a Godzilla Minus Zero sequel doesn't happen, Yamazaki has said, "At some point in my career, I would love to revisit Godzilla." It seems highly likely that he makes a third Godzilla movie down the road, even if it's a completely new take and storyline.
