News Godzilla Minus Zero Godzilla Minus Zero: The Follow-Up to Godzilla Minus One Gets a Title Nobody Can Explain (Yet) What do the math nerds think about this use of numbers? By Molly Templeton | Published on November 3, 2025 Screenshot: Toho Comment 0 Share New Share Screenshot: Toho What better way to start your week than with a dramatic and mysterious title reveal? Toho Studios, the entity behind the Godzilla franchise, released a short video announcing the name of the film that’s Takashi Yamazaki’s follow-up to the Oscar-winning Godzilla Minus One. And it’s called … Godzilla Minus Zero. In the video, the title appears as Godzilla-0.0, but The Hollywood Reporter and others have run with the spelled-out version. As was the case with Godzilla Minus One, Yamazaki is the writer, director, and visual effects supervisor. THR adds one more credit to the list: the teaser logo. “Yamazaki co-drew the emblem, signaling creative continuity while potentially teasing a darker, more expansive monster mythoscape.” It’s still not clear if this film is a direct sequel to Godzilla Minus One. Yamazaki discussed the title of that film at a 2023 press conference, saying: I hope that everyone will be able to grasp the various meanings of the film. The biggest one is that it has a ‘minus’ in the sense that Japan is at zero after the war, and then Godzilla arrives, making the situation even worse and more dire, and so how do the people rise from that? It’s set even before the time of the original Godzilla, so in that sense it’s also a ‘minus one.’ It’s also a ‘minus one’ in the sense of a run-up—a withdrawal in order to rise from a difficult situation. It can also be a ‘minus one’ of losing something, and I hope that you will watch it and feel the various meanings. (Please blame Google for any translation errors there.) So Minus Zero could mean several things. It could mean a clean slate. It could mean things are slightly less dire than when they were Minus One. It could mean the new movie picks up directly at the end of the last. Nobody knows! Many people have theories. Godzilla Minus Zero does not yet have a release date, but you can watch Godzilla Minus One on Netflix or rent it on various other platforms.[end-mark] The post <i>Godzilla Minus Zero</i>: The Follow-Up to <i>Godzilla Minus One</i> Gets a Title Nobody Can Explain (Yet) appeared first on Reactor.
