After his triumph directing the immensely profitable Godzilla Minus One, Yamazaki had some excessive requirements to fulfill. His up to date Mechagodzilla is kind of the glow-up from the 1974 model (though the hilariously janky design holds a particular place in my coronary heart), so I can safely say the Godzilla franchise is protected in Yamazaki’s arms.

That includes Minus One’s Godzilla in a ferocious face-off with Mechagodzilla, the dynamic new art work provides us an action-packed view of the brand new design.
