New teaser gives us first look at Godzilla Minus Zero

Share this article

Godzilla Minus Zero is set two years after the events of the first film, with Kamiki and Hamabe reprising their roles as Koichi and Noriko, along with Nagatani as Akiko. There’s not much to see in 45 seconds—Yamazaki is still keeping details tightly under wraps—but we do get to see lots of devastation and airborne planes preparing for battle—plus everyone’s favorite kaiju wading past the Statue of Liberty toward New York City in the final shot. So it looks like a regenerated Godzilla is expanding his swathe of destruction beyond Tokyo. Yamazaki has clearly retained the visual tone that made the film’s predecessor so striking. It’s also the first Japanese movie filmed specifically for IMAX, per Yamazaki. So we’re optimistic and pretty psyched for this one. Godzilla Minus Zero hits US theaters on November 6, 2026; it opens in Japan on November 3, 2026.
