Godzilla Minus One director Takashi Yamazaki has met Kevin Feige – and it sounds like Marvel is taking inspiration from the monster movie.
“The president of Marvel told me, ‘Wadatsumi!'” Yamazaki revealed at Tokyo International Film Festival (H/TCBR.com). Wadatsumi refers to the operation to destroy Godzilla at the end of the movie.
“He told me, ‘We’re all having meetings every day to see if we can make it happen like that,'” he continued. “I think it’s just lip service.”
By the sounds of things, Feige is drawing inspiration from Godzilla Minus One, rather than trying to bring Yamazaki into the Marvel fold. Considering how excellent a movie Godzilla Minus One is, though, seeing its influence on the MCU can only be a good thing.
If you’re hungry for more Godzilla, the good news isYamazaki and Toho are teaming up for another movie about the monster, with Toho revealing earlier this month that Yamazaki would be writing, directing, and overseeing the VFX on the new movie. It’s not clear yet whether the movie will be a sequel to Godzilla Minus One or an all new project.
As for Marvel, next up isCaptain America: Brave New World, which releases next February 14. It stars Anthony Mackie as Sam Wilson, Harrison Ford as Thunderbolt Ross, andGiancarlo Esposito as Sidewinder, leader of the Serpent Society.
