It appeared that director Takashi Yamazaki’s version of Godzilla, having won an Academy Award and with a sequel in the works, would be the sole “kid on the block” in terms of kaiju films. However, since the release of 2023’s Shin Kamen Rider, there has been no news about the Shin Universe’s future plans. Notably, this world’s Godzilla remains one of the most chilling interpretations yet. In a surprising development, rumors suggest that Toho is considering a sequel to Shin Godzilla, which could introduce another Godzilla franchise from Japan into the mix.
According to an article from Bloomberg, Toho is not only developing the sequel to “Godzilla Minus One“, but also considering a potential sequel to “Shin Godzilla“. Although the article does not provide specifics about the appearance or continuation of the story in this Shin Universe installment, reintroducing a popular rendition of the Godzilla character is likely to grab attention. As kaiju fans are aware, the initial film hinted at a possible sequel for where “Shin Godzilla” might go next, and such a continuation could mean more danger for those who survived its initial attack.
How a Shin Godzilla Sequel Might Happen
In the movie Shin Godzilla, directed by Hideaki Anno, Godzilla wasn’t just terrifying in appearance but its transformations were no joke. Initially, when Shin Godzilla emerged from the ocean and wandered through cities, it seemed almost adorable. However, this initial appearance soon gave way to something far from cute as it evolved into a form that would be recognizable to longtime Godzilla fans, while also featuring some unsettling, eerie changes.
In the original film, Japan successfully vanquished the kaiju, leaving viewers with a hint that Godzilla was on the verge of its next transformation. As Shin Godzilla’s frozen image hung ominously over Japan, strange creatures started to emerge from the defeated kaiju’s body. It seemed as if the King of Monsters was mutating into an army of smaller beings, designed to collaborate and potentially overthrow humanity. If a sequel adheres to this narrative, the upcoming film could present a unique take on Godzilla unlike any other portrayal before.
Absolutely, “Shin Godzilla” sequel and “Godzilla Minus One” aren’t the only tales revolving around Godzilla, the mighty monster king. Legendary Pictures continues to develop multiple projects featuring this colossal creature, such as “Godzilla x Kong: Supernova” and the second season of “Monarch: Legacy of Monsters.” Additionally, Apple TV+ is working on an unspecified spin-off within the MonsterVerse. Therefore, Godzilla’s future looks promising across various platforms.
