We should have known that Godzilla Minus Zero — the long-awaited sequel to Godzilla Minus One — wouldn’t be satisfied with another back-to-basics reboot. Minus One did a whole lot with very little, scooping up critical acclaim, box office buzz, and an Oscar win with a $15 million budget and a dream. Its premise brought the kaiju franchise back to basics, too, retelling the events of the original Godzilla with fresh eyes and airtight visuals. We can expect more of the latter in Minus Zero, but the upcoming film will do so on a much bigger canvas.
Per Godzilla Minus Zero’s official tagline, “Going backwards is not an option,” and that goes for its scale as much as it does for its subject matter. With its November release date fast approaching, Toho has dropped a new teaser for the highly anticipated Godzilla sequel. For the first time, we’ve got our first look at the titular kaiju in a jaw-dropping IMAX aspect ratio — but Godzilla’s not the only monster returning to the big screen. Here’s everything we know about Godzilla Minus Zero, from its IMAX footage to the iconic villain joining the fray.
