I belive it will be a standalone film.
“Banana oil.”- George Takei, Gigantis: The Fire Monster
I think it will still be part of the millenium era, but i belive it will be more than 1 movie, toho whants godzilla to be a big icon for the 2020 olympics
I feel like they will do what Legendary did, make it a stand-alone, but leave it open for potential sequels, or maybe do what they did with the Millenium, and make multiple stand-alone films.
^Both scenarios are most likely.
I was under the impression that this new era of Godzilla was dubbed the Legendary Series, as it was commenced by Legendary's film; both applying to the American releases and any Japanese releases.
Was I mistaken?
The Legendary Series only applies to the films produced by Legendary.

^Yes, since Toho seemed like they wanted to differentiate their series from Legendary's I doubt they or the fans would label them under the same category.
^I mean... maybe. Most of these names are fan dubbed anyway. Toho hasn't labeled it anything yet. I can't remember when "Millennium Series" settled in as the name for the third series. In the early days of the Millennium films some fans were trying to force the word "shinsei". (meaning "rebirth" or "revitalization")
There probably won't be a widely accepted name until late in the game.
The reason I think "Millennium Series" is the name considered the most official is because that's what TriStar referred to it as in trailers for their DVD releases. I'm pretty sure "Shinsei Series" comes from the tagline used in Japanese theatrical trailers for Godzilla 2000, "Gojira Shinsei." Fans in Japan seem to prefer calling it the "X Series," since the movies tended to use "X" instead of "tai" or "VS."

I feel like the "Millennium Series" stuck long before the Sony DVDs with western fans. It was fairly widely accepted around the Kiryu movies. By then the Shinsei thing had died off.
Didn't the "Shinsei" descirptor fade out after Godzilla vs. Megaguirus? I can't be certain, but I seem to recall something along that line. :)
It's a pretty good guess. I feel like it starting sinking around the GMK cycle.
