The last feature film released in Japan was shin godzilla in 2016, and after that, Legendary took the franchise under its wing to create the massive quadrilogy universe moviegoers know today. While the MonsterVerse will retain its plans, Toho’s new kaiju movie will leave its mark to honor the original Japanese monster that fans have loved over the decades.
