A new Godzilla movie is coming to theaters in 2023, with Godzilla’s birthday in Japan underway. Godzilla originally released its first movie on November 3, 1954 in Japan. Since the first movie released, Godzilla has become a massive hit worldwide with the MonsterVerse quadrilogy in recent years.
Toho announced the next Godzilla film is now in the works and will be directed by Takahashi Yamazaki (Stand by Me Doraemon 3). It is currently planned to be released on November 3, 2023. The news was revealed through the official Toho Twitter account:
No major details have been revealed just yet on what we can expect from the next Godzilla film. The last Godzilla film that was produced in Japan was Shin Godzilla back in 2016. After this, Legendary worked on the MonsterVerse quadrilogy.
Legendary is still working on new MonsterVerse projects, including an AppleTV+ series, but it looks like Toho wants to make another Godzilla movie either way.
It is likely that it will take a different approach than Shin Godzilla, but only time will tell what’s next for this franchise.
