A New Japanese Godzilla Movie is Coming in 2023

Toho, the renowned film production company behind the creation of Godzilla, has thrilled fans by announcing the release of a new film starring the iconic King of Monsters. The upcoming movie is set to hit theaters on November 3, 2023, as revealed during the celebration of Godzilla Day 2022.

Toho’s official Godzilla Twitter account shared a logo for the new movie, which has sparked excitement among fans worldwide. This new film is expected to deliver an exhilarating experience for audiences, promising an impressive display of the King of Monsters’ powers and abilities.

Takashi Yamazaki, a renowned filmmaker, will be directing the upcoming Godzilla film. He has previously helmed other popular titles such as Lupin III: The First, Parasyte Part 1 and Part 2, and Dragon Quest: Your Story. However, this marks Yamazaki’s first time directing a Godzilla movie, and fans are eagerly anticipating what he will bring to the table.

The new film will be Toho’s first Godzilla movie since 2016’s Shin Godzilla, which was a critical and commercial success. In our Shin Godzilla review, we praised the movie for providing a fresh origin story for the iconic kaiju and establishing its unique style while staying true to the classics. As the 33rd Toho Godzilla movie and the 37th Godzilla movie overall, the untitled 2023 Godzilla film is sure to be a highly anticipated event for fans of the franchise. Stay tuned for more updates!
