"Ota says that Toho will be taking a cue from Legendary's Monsterverse and expanding the cinematic universe of its Godzilla films. The new universe will be called 'Godzilla World.'"
"To attract new fans in their teens and twenties, I want to try my hand at video content other than movies ... such as TV streaming series and games."
"'If Toho itself were to create [an] original story for Godzilla, in addition to the Godzilla films made by Hideaki Anno and Takashi Yamazaki, they could systematically develop spinoffs as well.'"
"'Various creators are welcome to join in at any point,' Ota says, expressing hope for multiple versions of Godzilla to exist simultaneously."
Toho's Chief Godzilla Officer, Keiji Ota, announced plans to expand the Godzilla franchise into a new cinematic universe named 'Godzilla World.' This initiative aims to attract younger audiences, particularly teens and twenties, through various media formats, including TV streaming series and games. Ota indicated that 'Godzilla World' will be distinct from recent films like Shin Godzilla and Godzilla Minus One. He also expressed interest in allowing independent creators to develop their own versions of Godzilla, fostering a diverse range of interpretations of the iconic character.
