"We wanted to play it in a vast, open space, so we rented a baseball stadium and brought about 10 sound guys," Yamazaki said. "We set up speakers and mics, used the baseball stadium's own speakers, and played the original Godzilla roar." Now that the monsters have fought it out, is it time for them to come together and be friends, perhaps against a greater threat (beyond the third act reveal of Mechagodzilla)?

The Millennium and MonsterVerse Godzilla films are also technically part of the Heisei era, but they deserve to be dealt with separately. Beyond the main cast, the humans in this movie exist only to get squashed like ants by falling debris and mangled buildings. A Monarch observation outpost stationed in Hollow Earth picks up an unidentified signal. On the surface, the signal causes Jia, the last known survivor of the Iwi tribe from Skull Island, to experience hallucinations and visions, causing her adoptive mother, Dr. Ilene Andrews, to worry. Also sensing the signal, Godzilla leaves Rome and attacks a nuclear plant in France to absorb radiation.
Sphere Is the Mind-Killer
Of special note for this suit is that Godzilla’s tail got much more flexible, being able to be posed in more dynamic positions in action sequences. While very similar to vs. Biollante’s suit, this one amplifies the changes made there for an even bulkier, meaner-looking Godzilla. Destroy All Monsters brings Godzilla back in a much more fearsome direction, with angular eyes and the return of his mean-looking prominent browline. His big, almost-googly eyes are weirdly cute for what is meant to be an imposing, horrifying creature, but he’s the standard to set all other ‘zillas against. “This was a land of opportunity for those films that might have been overshadowed if there had been a major breakout blockbuster in the month of April,” Dergarabedian said. Directed by Luca Guadagnino, the tennis drama stars Zendaya, Mike Faist and Josh O’Connor as longtime friends whose relationships combust on and off the court.
“Avengers” Helmers Want New Franchises
With Godzilla tearing up international box offices, Toho relaunched its own franchise in 2016, kicking off its Reiwa era with Shin Godzilla. It went in a different direction entirely compared to the Hollywood version, introducing the radical new concept of a Godzilla who evolves through eight different forms through the course of the film. After undoing Shimo's ice age with his atomic breath, Godzilla returns to rest in the Colosseum.

He flies the prototype B.E.A.S.T. Glove over to Kong and it fits itself around his damaged hand. After receiving injections from the glove to heal his frostbite, Kong struggles to climb up a hillside, but soon adjusts to the device, testing its electrical capabilities by pounding the ground. Jia asks Kong to seek out Godzilla for help, and he heads for a portal. Kong leads a group of apes back to his hunting grounds, dispatching two with more of his traps — but the rest step over the vine that would activate his rock slide trap.
Shimo's ice breath damages Kong's right arm, causing frostbite, but with Suko's help, Kong manages to escape after losing his axe. Online, an observer quipped that it was Phish’s “Eras Tour” moment, a reference to Taylor Swift’s pop-culture mega-event. The band played a stacked set list each night, all but guaranteeing that those who came for the entire run would hear most of the band’s most famous songs live. But their stay was limited, ensuring that Phish’s Sphere term couldn’t be categorized as a last waltz, self-elegy, or living-museum situation. To celebrate 50 years of stomping over Japan, Godzilla got one of his most radical redesigns yet.

Hideaki Anno and Shinji Higuchi’s take on Godzilla had multiple evolutions, but his final and most infamous form is perhaps one of the most freaky, alien Godzilla designs yet. With small sunken eyes, an elongated tail (that culminated in a bizarre second “face”), and a strangely emaciated body shape, Shin Godzilla is also covered in red lesions to further amplify his grotesque appearance. Bringing back the pronounced brow of the original suit, this Godzilla also did some working out after his battle with Kong. Though it’s slightly less bulky than the older suit, this is the first time we see a Godzilla with sharper, pronounced muscle definition on his chest and around his knees.
At Monarch Outpost One in the Hollow Earth, agents watch a news report on Godzilla curling up in the Colosseum to sleep. They suddenly detect seismic activity beneath the area where Kong fought the Wart Dogs; the fallen rocks there collapse into a pit. The outpost is also affected by electrical anomalies, which briefly causes a signal consisting of three spikes to appear on a monitor.
Kong throws sand in Godzilla's eyes, only to be slammed into the pyramid again and suplexed. Fed up, he dodges a stomp and unleashes a flurry of blows with the aid of the glove. He drags a dazed Godzilla towards the portal, but is forced to let him go as he unleashes his atomic breath, which slices through a pyramid. Godzilla pins Kong and prepares to finish him with another blast.
Comments which violate these guidelines may be removed by administrators. It would be over 15 years before Hollywood dared make a Godzilla film again, but in 2014, Legendary and director Gareth Edwards brought the Kaiju back to the States with more successful results as the launchpad for the MonsterVerse. Godzilla took almost a decade off after that final bout with Mechagodzilla, but he came back with a vengeance in 1984 with a much more fearsome new look that gave new life to the franchise. He was bad again, and he was given a design more in keeping with the original 1954 film, with smaller eyes, bigger teeth and an extra digit.
At a Monarch base in Barbados, built around a vortex leading to the Hollow Earth, Andrews' adopted daughter Jia experiences a vision in which she sees flashes of Godzilla, pyramids, and an unfamiliar primate Titan. When the vision ends, she realizes she has been scribbling the same three-spike pattern on her math test and desk. Andrews meets with her teacher, who tells her that Jia's grades are faltering and she is socially isolated. Andrews reminds her that Jia is the sole surviving member of her tribe and still adjusting to the world outside of Skull Island, then reflects that she's having trouble connecting with her too. After school, Andrews finds her watching Kong on a tablet, and Jia laments that she doesn't belong anywhere.
When major productions like this one are filming, studios often make swag like this for the cast and crew to fondly remember their time on the project, and if real, all this merch may reveal the title of the movie. Production on the sequel has been underway, but we’ve certainly been curious about where the MonsterVerse franchise will be taking us next. For starters, it seems that with the release of some photos of production gifts, we may know the title of the 2024 release. Ishirō Honda and Eiji Tsuburaya's original Godzilla for Toho Co is often regarded as the first kaiju film, and it started a rich tradition of monster movies.
She explains that she came to him because of his reputation for unorthodox thinking. After he laments that Monarch's refusal to confirm his role in defeating Mechagodzilla damaged his credibility online, Andrews offers to take him to the Hollow Earth in exchange for his help. Receiving an alert on her phone that Godzilla has awakened, she rushes him out the door.
