A new Godzilla movie from the original Japanese studio Toho is set for release on November 3, 2023!
Toho announced the release date for a new live-action Godzilla movie, and it's shockingly soon. The company, which has been involved in the franchise since they produced the very first Godzilla film in 1954, has so far contributed 29 live-action Japanese films to the series. Fans largely divide these films into four eras, the Shōwa era , the Vs Era , the Millennium Era , and the Reiwa Era .
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY Recently, the Japanese branch of Godzilla films has taken something of a backseat to the big-budget blockbuster MonsterVerse franchise. The MonsterVerse, which includes 2014's Godzilla, Kong: Skull Island, and Godzilla vs. Kong, is expanding with a GvK sequel and an upcoming MonsterVerse television series, so it has been taking up a lot of the iconic kaiju's airtime.
Will the New Godzilla be in Continuity with Any Previous Godzilla Films? The new Godzilla film is currently untitled, so there is no indication of what direction they intend to take with the plot. However, there are several avenues they could take for continuity. Many Japanese Godzilla sequels take the Halloween 2018 approach, ignoring every film in the franchise except for the first one.
Perhaps the bigger question is whether or not the new Godzilla will have any relationship to the MonsterVerse. This seems unlikely, as the Japanese films typically take place in their own separate continuity from any American Godzilla properties, even though Toho is involved in the American franchise. At the very least, it's possible they may reference the MonsterVerse in some manner, the same way they included the titular creature from the 1998 American Godzilla in Godzilla: Final Wars.
