20 Horror Movie Sequels Releasing In 2026
11. Godzilla Minus Zero
Godzilla Minus One was an astonishing success beyond just about anyone's expectations, not only becoming the most commercially successful Japanese Godzilla film, but also winning the Best Visual Effects Oscar in 2024.
It didn't take long for writer-director Takashi Yamazaki to confirm that a follow-up was in development, as was later announced to be Godzilla Minus Zero, a direct sequel with leads Ryunosuke Kamiki and Minami Hamabe returning to reprise their roles.
Though we don't know exactly where the story is going, Yamazaki previously suggested that a sequel would explore the impact of Godzilla's rampage in the first film while pitting him against another kaiju. Considering the impressive humanity that the filmmaker wrought from the original story, it's easy to have faith that he'll do the same here.
Intriguingly, this time production has taken place in not only Japan, but also in New Zealand and Norway, suggesting a larger globetrotting scale.
Godzilla Minus Zero is expected to release in late 2026.
