Godzilla Is Heading to New York in Godzilla Minus Zero’s First Teaser

As I wrote in my review, 2023’s Godzilla Minus One took everything that we love about Godzilla films and distilled it down into its purest essence. Not surprisingly, the film was a massive success, commercially and critically, and notably won an Oscar for “Best Visual Effects.” Anticipation for the inevitable sequel has been running pretty high, and Toho has finally dropped a relatively short teaser for Godzilla Minus Zero. But it’s enough (for now), or as one YouTube commenter put it, “Only Godzilla could spend 2 days hyping up a teaser only for it to be like 10 seconds long, yet still satisfy fans.”

Set two years after the events of Godzilla Minus One, Godzilla Minus Zero finds a regenerated Big G back for another ruckus. Only this time, he’s heading stateside, to New York City. How this will all connect to the previous film’s characters, most notably ex-kamikaze pilot Kōichi Shikishima (Ryunosuke Kamiki) and his love interest, Noriko Oishi (Minami Hamabe), who somehow survived the events of the previous film, remains to be seen. But even so, after seeing less than a minute of footage, I’m all in.

Godzilla Minus Zero arrives in Japanese theaters on November 3, 2026 and American theaters on November 6, 2026.
