It has been a few years since Toho Co., Ltd. released Shin Godzilla.
Now there are reports that Toho "may" be working on a new kaiju project in Japan. Rumor has it that the movie will be set in the 1940s. Is the Japan Godzilla about to return to the silver screen?
ComicBook.com reported:
Godzilla has spent decades rampaging his way thanks to movies that have arrived from Japan and North America, with Legendary Pictures recently announcing that it was creating a new television series with Apple TV+ to bring back the MonsterVerse. Now, it seems that Toho Studios is looking to re-enter the game of kaiju as new reports are emerging that the movie producers are set to begin filming on a new kaiju project that is set to take place during a very unique time period.
It's been a few years since we last saw the Godzilla of the East, with Shin Godzilla introducing a very different version of the lizard king, created under the expertise of Hideaki Anno, the creator of Neon Genesis Evangelion. With the latest film from Japan introducing the most terrifying looking lizard king to date, there has yet to be word as to whether this new take on the classic kaiju will be making a comeback in the future. Anno himself is keeping busy however and is expanding the "Shin Universe" with upcoming takes on two other classic characters from Japan in Shin Kamen Rider and Shin Ultraman.
