Afterwards you see Godzilla minus zero this weekend, the first thing you’ll want to do is watch it again. After that, you’ll probably want to know what’s happening next to which characters and creatures may or may not survive. Writer-director Takashi Yamazaki feels the same way. He just doesn’t know when it will happen.
“I’d say it’s about fifty-fifty at this point,” Yamazaki told The Hollywood Reporter when asked if he was going to finish the trilogy. “I’m quite satisfied and happy with the current ending that we have. It leaves the interpretation to the audience in terms of how they want to receive it and what they want to walk out of the theaters with. That being said, if Godzilla minus zero is my last Godzilla movie, that would make me a little sad. I have other films in the works, starting with Grand Gear and a few others, but at some point in my career I would love to revisit Godzilla and let’s see how we can expand this world.
What intrigues us most is “If Godzilla minus zero is my last Godzilla movie, that would make me a little sad. Nobody wants to be sad. However, as he says, he is already committed to his next film, Grand Geara giant robot movie with Bad Robot that JJ Abrams is producing (casting has already started). Additionally, he is also developing a mystery movie of sorts with Ridley Scott. So Yamazaki can do whatever he wants once his next film is finished.
Considering Godzilla minus zero is almost certain to be the number one movie worldwide this weekend, however, and with the film leaving itself wide open for more stories, we’d imagine the lure of a follow-up will be as powerful as a ray of heat.
Godzilla minus zero is in theaters now. Yamazaki’s next film, Grand Gearis scheduled to be released on January 14, 2028.
