Godzilla's New Design
The new design for Godzilla in the Minus One sequel has not yet been revealed. However, a recent teaser for the new 70th anniversary Godzilla ride attraction (which was also directed and produced by Takashi Yamazaki) featured a revised design of his Minus One Gojira - with altered dorsal plates, slightly changed facial features and a new green atomic ray. This is not necessarily an indicator of what the new Godzilla will look like - but it certainly could be close.
