A new trailer for the much-anticipated follow-up to Godzilla Minus One has arrived and it promises an epic return to the kaiju's world. Godzilla Minus Zero picks up in 1949, two years on from the events of the first movie as we reunite with the Shikishima family as they face a new disaster.
The first trailer was released earlier this year and saw the kaiju descend on New York City. The latest teaser builds on this, beginning with the confirmation of the time jump. "I speculate Godzilla can withstand even a thermonuclear strike," the voiceover says. "Another moral boundary mankind shouldn't cross."
The cast of the original movie are also back too in the sequel. Ryunosuke Kamiki returns as Koichi alongside Minami Hamabe as Noriko and Sae Nagatani as Akiko. Godzilla Minus Zero doesn't only follow in the footsteps of the acclaimed Godzilla Minus One either as it joins the legacy of a long Godzilla franchise behind it, becoming the 39th movie released (and 34th produced by Toho).
Teasing the new film earlier this year, writer and director Takashi Yamazaki said (per The Hollywood Reporter): "In this new film, an even deeper despair will descend upon Japan and the Shikishima family. When faced when overwhelming and inescapable force, how do people fight back? The journey from Minus to Zero will not be an easy one."
Godzilla Minus Zero will be released on November 6, 2026 in the US, UK, and Ireland, following on from its Japanese release date of November 3. For more upcoming movies, check out our guides to upcoming horror movies and upcoming superhero movies you need to know about.
