List of Godzilla movies

This is a list of all official Godzilla movies in order of release date. There are currently 36 Godzilla movies: 16 authored by Toho, three by Toho Eizo, 13 by Toho Pictures, one by TriStar Pictures, and three by Warner Bros. Pictures and Legendary Pictures. Toho only considers the live-action films that it or its subsidiaries produce to comprise the numerical entries in the franchise; as such, it excludes the Hollywood adaptations and animated films from the numerical order and maintains that Shin Godzilla is the 29th Godzilla film. There are two upcoming Godzilla films currently confirmed to be in development. The first, given the working title Blockbuster Monster Movie, will be the 30th mainline entry in the series and is set for release on November 3, 2023. The other, under the working title Origins, will be the fifth entry in the MonsterVerse series of films produced by Legendary and will release on March 24, 2024.
