Ah, thank you, haha. Has this been confirmed authentic by any reliable source yet?
Predator: Badlands - coming November 7th, 2025
@Chris,
Those images are legit. August Ragone and Gormaru island confirm it. Gman2887 is probably writing the article right now.

I'm not as I just got home, but those are legit.
The key will be in the execution: how the design looks filmed with the 'hybrid' special effects.
Also, the direction: how the Godzilla is made to act and emote.
Then there's the story. A strongly written narrative must be at the foundation of Godzilla's appearance. He shouldn't be made to look like this just to appear shocking or grotesque. Because, this is shocking and grotesque. If the look, atmosphere and feel of the film fit this design, and there is a kind of symmetry between how Godzilla looks and acts and how the film is experienced, this will be good. And Shin Gojira should be, if this symmetry is realized, scary, shocking and horrible. It would be interesting to see Godzilla 'regenerate' and achieve some normalcy, a restoration of sorts, while still inspiring fear (and dread). For this to take place over the course of the film, with his look 'improving' with time, would be a great element to film's story, visually and narrative-wise, IMHO.
A restoration of Godzilla could also mirror a similar return to normalcy and wholeness in Japan. Because Godzilla is Japan, although the phrase from the poster says, "Godzilla against Japan."
In any event, this fan would love to see and marvel at the visualization of the regenerating and restoration of Godzilla. Especially given the promise of a hybrid approach to the special and visual effects. Seeing a regeneration happen-digitally-integrated into the practical effects we love as fans, is an exciting proposition.
Again, with just a little bit of news, Shin Gojira elicits great promise.
JAMAAL - Oh, gosh! He looks amazing! The fine detail that has been paid to Godzilla is incredible; you can see the burn scarring and healing tissue! In my opinion, he appears to have suffered tremendous heat trauma from direct exposure to an atomic blast - almost as if he was only a few thousand feet distant from ground zero! What a phenomenal find! Thank you ever so much for sharing this with us! :)
DEATH COMES IN MANY FORMS AND MANY NAMES, ONE OF THOSE IS GOJIRA."
The arrogance in man is thinking nature is in our control and not the other way around. LET THEM FIGHT.
I'm not liking the designs. But I'm still 50/50, I have to see the final movie. The spines are too crammed together, the neck is too long, and up close with the head in detail is awful, and the arms, wtf!!!???
It looks like a mutated, rotting version of Godzillasaurus … the long neck, the short arms … i call it hereby Zombilla!
Not quite sure what to think. These still images are not doing it for me; I certainly hope he looks better, but again, these are totally out of context and not great quality. This also could be a concept maquette.
I'll reserve judgment until I see him in action in the finished movie.
i definitely think hes recovering from the oxygen destroyer. i believe this is another direct sequal to the original
