Godzilla to Host Massive SDCC 2025 Takeover

Godzilla has a lot to celebrate this year, and Toho International is going all out for the franchise with some major plans for San Diego Comic-Con 2025. Godzilla recently kicked off the 70th anniversary celebration for the long running giant monster franchise, and it’s starting everything with a bang with all sorts of new projects now in the works. Spreading across multiple film franchises, TV shows, comics, and more, there’s a lot of Godzilla for fans of the franchise to enjoy and even more coming our way. So much, in fact, that Toho International needs to help outline what’s coming soon.

Toho International has announced that not only will they be hosting a special 70th anniversary panel for the Godzilla franchise at San Diego Comic-Con 2025, but they will also be showcasing many of its licensing team ups through brand partnerships, special merchandise, pop up experiences and more planned for the fans in attendance at the event. And that panel is going to have some big names in attendance detailing all of the work they’ve done with the franchise to date.

Toho International’s new panel is dubbed the “Godzilla at 70: Seven Decades of the King of the Monsters” and will be taking place at the San Diego Convention Center on Friday, July 25th. In attendance will be Shin Godzilla co-director Shinji Higuchi, Super7 founder Brian Flynn, Mondo Senior Directors of Creative and Product Development, Director of Franchise and Retail Brand Development at Bandai, Jeff Gordon, and Justice League v Godzilla v Kong writer Brian Buccellato and IDW Comics writer Tim Seeley and Editor Jake Williams. The new panel will showcase much of what’s currently happening with the franchise, and also teasing what’s next for Godzilla to come in the future. But that won’t be all for the upcoming convention either.
