Godzilla Minus Zero to Shoot in Norway, New Zealand

Toho has revealed Takashi Yamazaki’s sequel as Godzilla Minus Zero (G-0.0), with Yamazaki returning as writer-director and VFX supervisor and a short teaser unveiled at Godzilla Fest. Production is scheduled to begin later in 2025 with shoots planned in Norway and New Zealand and additional filming reported in Japan, marking the first Toho-produced, Japanese-language Godzilla shoots outside Japan since 2004. The studio is positioning the film as a “statement piece” and is targeting a late-2026 global release. The sequel follows the Oscar-winning success of Godzilla Minus One, which grossed about $113–116 million worldwide and became the highest-grossing Japanese Godzilla film, and Toho also showcased Fest shorts such as “Fest Godzilla II: Shinjuku Burning,” which uses practical tokusatsu effects to introduce a Burning Millennium Godzilla. Toho has not yet announced a full plot or cast.
