The kaiju won’t be returning until 2018<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p>

Godzilla 2<\/em><\/strong> will be roaring into cinemas again – but not for another four years. The monster movie is definitely in the works, but it’s turning up late to the party, with Warner Bros and Legendary Pictures announcing an 8 June 2018 release date.<\/p>\n

We can all point fingers at director Gareth Edwards, who is returning to lead the project after his success with this year’s Godzilla<\/strong><\/em>. He is gearing up to start work on an untitled Star Wars<\/strong><\/em> standalone movie, which will be released in 2016.<\/p>\n

“We get to make another one,” said Edwards at last year’s Comic-Con. “I’m just up here doing a small little sci-fi movie, as soon as that’s over will be Godzilla 2<\/strong><\/em>.”<\/p>\n

Edwards also revealed that kaiju baddies Mothra, Rodan and Ghidorah will make appearances in the monster sequel, so prepare for shit to go down.<\/p>\n
