‘Godzilla Minus Zero’ Trailer Teases Another Cinematic Spectacle!

At long last, the trailer is here for Godzilla Minus Zero, the sequel to the spectacular Oscar-winning Godzilla Minus One, which is heading to North American theaters on November 6, 2026.

The sequel sees the return of Ryunokuke Kamiki, who starred in Godzilla Minus One as Kōichi Shikishima, a WWII Kamikaze pilot who lives in shame after choosing not to die in battle, but ultimately finds redemption as he helps his nation confront the monster known as Godzilla.

“Following the devastation of Godzilla’s first rampage in Godzilla Minus One, Kōichi Shikishima is determined to lead a quiet life, rebuilding his family with Noriko (Minami Hamabe) and young Akiko (Sae Nagatani) while stepping away from the nightmares of war and monsters.

“However, peace is short-lived when Godzilla returns—fully regenerated, larger and more ferocious—while something ancient begins to stir beneath Aokigahara near Mount Fuji, endangering the fragile nation and forcing Kōichi to reconsider his promise.

“With stakes higher than ever, Kōichi reluctantly returns to the fight, teaming up with old comrades, and U.S.-Japan alliance forces to confront the two kaiju and protect those he loves—especially as Noriko’s cell connection to Godzilla strengthens, pulling her dangerously closer to the monster’s rage.”

Godzilla Minus One was one of the surprise success stories of 2023. “Made for just $15 million, it grossed $113 million worldwide and took home the Oscar for best visual effects — the first Academy Award for the franchise in its 70-year history. It earned praise from all over Hollywood and counts Steven Spielberg as an avid fan.”

Filmmaker Takashi Yamazaki, who was among the team that took home the VFX Oscar, returns for the sequel.
