A 2027 Release Is Set: Every Upcoming Godzilla Movie After Minus Zero

Monsterverse returns in 2027
Godzilla X Kong: Supernova is set to open in theaters on March 26, 2027. It will be the sixth Monsterverse film and the third in that universe to feature both Godzilla and Kong, arriving four months after Godzilla Minus Zero.
Grant Sputore is directing, following two films directed by Adam Wingard. The story is expected to bring Godzilla and Kong together against SpaceGodzilla, though that character’s involvement has not been officially confirmed.
Kaitlyn Dever, Jack O’Connell, Alycia Debnam-Carey, Matthew Modine, Delroy Lindo and Sam Neill lead the human cast. Dan Stevens will return as Trapper, his character from Godzilla X Kong: The New Empire.
Shin Godzilla sequel revived
Toho canceled Shin Godzilla 2 in 2018, after initially considering a sequel. Hideaki Anno later confirmed that a proposal titled Shin Godzilla Raids Again had been written and submitted to the studio.
In 2025, Toho international head Koji Ueda confirmed that Shin Godzilla 2 was in development. There have been no further updates about its status or release date. The sequel will not arrive in 2027. Under the Toho and Legendary deal, the studios cannot release Godzilla movies in the same calendar year, making 2028 the earliest possible year for Shin Godzilla 2 or another additional Godzilla film.
Toho plans Southeast Asia film
Toho has also confirmed development of a standalone Godzilla movie set in Southeast Asia. The studio has not announced further details about the project. Toho has been working to grow Godzilla’s popularity in Singapore, Indonesia, Thailand, the Philippines and elsewhere in the region. It established Toho Entertainment Asia in Singapore and released the animated short Godzilla: A New Roar in Southeast Asia in 2025.
The regional Godzilla design has more spikes on its shoulders and chest. Toho has not said when the standalone film might be released.
