As well as revealing the director, the post also reveals that the Godzilla movie will be released on November 3, 2023. Alongside the caption, a mysterious teaser image is also revealed. An image that Godzilla fans will no doubt be able to garner some meaning from.

The untitled Godzilla movie will be the 37th installment in the Godzilla franchise and the 30th live-action Toho Godzilla project. The last we saw of the legendary monster from Toho Studios was in 2016’s Shin Godzilla, which finds politicians and society struggling to deal with a mysterious monster emerging from Tokyo Bay and wreaking havoc upon Japan. Shin Godzilla received critical acclaim in Japan, but was met with a more mixed response from Western critics. The project found huge success at the box office, becoming the highest-grossing Japanese-produced Godzilla movie in the franchise and was showered with nominations and awards.
