As part of the Godzilla Fest 2022 event in Japan, director Takuya Uenishi screened a special 3DCG short film titled Godzilla vs. Gigan Rex. A special sequel to a short film released back in 2019 dubbed “G vs. G,” this new film sees a powered up version of the famous Titan taking on a much more powerful version of Gigan dubbed “Gigan Rex” along with a huge army of other smaller ones. It’s a cool new look for the Kaiju, and you can check it out in action (with English subtitles) below:ย

Godzilla vs. Gigan Rex is a cool 3DCG short that’s over six minutes long, and Toho teases the story of the Takuya Uenishi directed short as such, “The hordes of Gigans that appeared in the previous movie attacked the earth again. In addition, a red-colored Gigan called “Gigan Rex”, that rules the other Gigans has just appeared. Will Godzilla be able to defeat the Gigan Rex, which boasts of its outstanding fighting ability?”ย
