The studio responsible for creatingGodzillais planning to build a new shared cinematic population around the monster . Toho will reportedly not be shooting a sequel to theirsmash - hitShin Godzilla(also have sex asGodzilla Resurgencein the US ) , but surveil 2020 ’s discharge ofGodzilla vs. Kong , they hope to target the King of the Monsters and his fellow Kaiju in a whole novel world of possibilities .
Toho is the Nipponese cinema and theater company that was founded in the 1930 ’s , being most notable for distributingGodzillaand the many Kaiju movie that have been made . The original picture was released in 1954 and was famously a metaphor for weapon of mass death . Since then the immense lizard has appear in 29 flick produced by the company , as well as other iconic creations like Rodan and Mothra . The studio apartment entered into an agreement with Legendary Pictures which lead to Gareth Edward ’s successful 2014 version ofGodzilla . It also guide to the birth of the Monsterverse , which includedKong : Skull Island . This set the foundation for the much - forebode coming sequelsGodzilla : King of the MonstersandGodzilla vs. Kong , whichwill include King Ghidorah and other Toho monsters in conflict .
The last Toho colossus movie wasShin Godzilla . discharge in Japan in 2016 , it became the highest - grossing live - action at law Nipponese motion picture of that twelvemonth , but the sequel was carry back because of theUS Monsterverse deal . However , after 2021 the studio will once again be able to film their own versions of the iconic creatures . grant to the Japanese publicationNikkei Style(viaGodzilla - Movies ) , they have some big plans for their creations . Toho executive director Keiji Ota stated that the studio will be loose a new Godzilla movie every 1 - 2 years . Not only that , but they ’re free-base their new celluloid on the MCU , as he says ;
" The hereafter of the series and its forward maturation are very witting of the method of " shared universe of discourse " . Godzilla , Mothra , King Ghidorah , etc . could all share a single world thought much like a Marvel motion picture where Iron Man and the Hulk can crossover with each other . It is say that each motion-picture show can be a potential picture production where any one of them could conduce a picture of their own as the titular reference . "
Unfortunately for fans ofShin Godzilla , it seems that special story and rootage will be a one - off . Ota indicated that any idea for a subsequence was now defunct , saying that " alternatively of think of doing the obvious melodic theme of make a Shin Godzilla 2 , rather cerebrate about a world that can be used for a long time" . While Ota is citing the MCU as an influence , it also seems probable that Toho may be returning to the good old days of the films that had Godzilla regularly cut through nipper with other outrageous creatures - or saw them living on ' Monster Island ' and trashing cities together - an melodic theme really not hugely different to how the company ’s upcoming shared universe is being described .
patently 2021 is some kind of edit out - off stage for the US Monsterverse , and nobody yet experience the destiny of that enfranchisement afterGodzilla vs. Kong . It certainly look like there will be no end to the Godzilla movies from Japan at least , and hopefully Toho will seek out and obtain widestateside distributionfor each entry , so thatwestern audiencescan also go along for the ride with this unexampled universe centered on the big G.
