Later this year, Takashi Yamazaki (The Fighter Pilot), the director of the massively successful 2023 kaiju thriller, Godzilla Minus One, will start filming Godzilla Minus One 2. No plot details have been revealed, but the follow-up will be a direct sequel that takes place in Japan.

The film was made on a paltry $15M budget with a combination of practical effects and CGI (via World of Reel).
