With Godzilla Minus One already out in Japan and approaching its US release, many fans want to know about its main villain. Are there multiple Kaijus in the latest Toho outing? Here’s what you should be aware about Minus One’s big bad!
Who is the main villain in Godzilla Minus One?
The main villain of Godzilla Minus One is none other than Godzilla himself.
As the trailers of Godzilla Minus One have suggested, we will see an angry Godzilla come into play. This isn’t the protector Godzilla that we’ve become used to seeing, thanks to the MonsterVerse movies. Minus One brings in an evil version of the character that annihilates Japan and degrades its economic state even further.
A rumored plot leak initially suggested that the film might secretly involve another version of Godzilla. One of them would be an evil version who was mutated and angered by a nuclear strike. He’d come in to wreak havoc on Japan, just as the trailers suggested.
But there would be another organic Godzilla who would come in to battle the angry mutated version and save Japan. However, this bit from the plot leak has proven to be completely inaccurate. There’s just one evil Godzilla that shows up and deploys its atomic breath in Minus One. No other monster appears in the film and it is upon the humans to stop Gojira’s carnage.
This also gets clarified by the official synopsis which suggests that “after the war, Japan’s economic state has been reduced to zero. Godzilla appears and plunges the country into a negative state.”
The cast of the film includes Ryunosuke Kamiki as Koichi Shikishima, Munetaka Aoki as Sosaku Tachibana, and Yuki Yamada as Shiro Mizushima. Others involved are Minami Hamabe as Noriko Oishi, Hidetaka Yoshioka as Kenji Nada, Sakura Ando as Sumiko Ota, and Kuranosuke Sasaki as Yoji Akitsu.
