Godzilla Minus One director, writer, and visual effects lead Takashi Yamazaki weighs in on the American branch of the franchise. The new Japanese-language movie follows Godzilla interrupting the rebuilding attempts of a shattered post-World War II Japan. It is not in continuity with the Hollywood branch of the franchise, an interconnected universe known as the Monsterverse that includes Godzilla (2014), Godzilla: King of the Monsters, Kong: Skull Island, Godzilla vs. Kong, and Monarch: Legacy of Monsters.
