Godzilla Minus Zero Stomps Into US Theaters November 2026
The highly anticipated sequel to the Oscar-winning Godzilla Minus One finally gets its American release date, with director Takashi Yamazaki returning to helm the monster epic set in post-WWII Japan.
Monster movie fans got major news today as Godzilla Minus Zero, the follow-up to the Academy Award-winning Godzilla Minus One, locked in its American theatrical debut. The kaiju sequel hits Japanese cinemas November 3, with US audiences getting their turn just three days later on November 6.

The original story centered on a disgraced Japanese fighter pilot seeking redemption while facing off against the fire-breathing monster in a devastated post-World War II setting. This version of Godzilla proved genuinely frightening to audiences worldwide.
