Godzilla Minus One
Summary
Godzilla Minus Onedirector Takashi Yamazaki open up about his thought for a potential subsequence . The 2023 kaiju epic follow a traumatized World War II pilot burner facing down Godzilla ’s return in post - war Japan . Godzilla Minus Onereceived vital praiseand became a standout feature of 2023 upon its discharge , receiving nominations from award ceremonies across the orb , including an Academy Award nominating address for Best Visual Effects .
WithGodzilla Minus Onecontinuing to have far-flung winner , Yamazaki open up toColliderabout how a likely sequel could build upon his take on Toho ’s classic behemoth . While Shikishima ( Ryunosuke Kamiki ) was capable to make up for his preceding regrets in his second encounter with Godzilla , who had ostensibly been defeat , the music director teased that the events of the sequel may just be the starting signal of a great saga . Check out Yamazaki ’s explanation below :
“ I would certainly like to see what the sequel would look like . I know that Shikishima ’s warfare seems over , and we ’ve reached this state of peace and serene – but perhaps [ it ’s the ] calm before the storm , and the characters have not yet been forgiven for what has been imposed upon them . "
Godzilla Minus One Has Already Established A Horrifying Human Cost To The Destruction
WithGodzilla Minus One ’s ending , Yamazaki left several threads that a subsequence could build upon . The ending exhibit a ball of Godzilla beginning to regenerate , tease that a revitalization is inevitable despite the government ’s efforts . Furthermore , Noriko ’s ( Minami Hamabe ) menacing bruising exhibit a 2d reverberation of Godzilla ’s attack , suggest that survivors could still be carrying an infection whose symptom have yet to be fully seen .
When discussing Noriko ’s infection , Yamazaki stated in interview that aGodzilla Minus Onesequel could research the damages the kaiju has left on man beyond substructure destruction , directly comparing the infection to the Tatari Gami ofPrincess Mononoke . In Hayao Miyazaki ’s 1997 animate fantasy classic , those infect by daimon become Tatari Gami , either succumbing to the infliction and becoming rabid , or somehow channel the energy to grant them force at the price of the length of their life history . As such , a sequel may search the long imbalances of humans ’s conflict with the kaiju , and how the unwellness can be healed .
Now , the managing director has once more affirmed that his approach to stories withinGodzilla Minus One ’s world will draw focus on his human characters . The human drama help the picture show take in acclaim and stand out among pastGodzillamovies , and the core narrative of Shikishima ’s psychic trauma used the monster as a way to undertake real - world issues . However , with the regenerating kaiju still lingering beneath the wafture , a potential continuation may still bring vivid devastation .
Godzilla Minus Oneis presently unavailable in theater , having complete its run , while a streaming release has yet to be announced .
