Speaking to the Japanese GQ, he said: "We established a dedicated 'Godzilla Room' division at Toho in 2019. We're collectively considering the future of the Godzilla character.
"We've had things like animated Godzilla films in the past, so we're brainstorming new avenues to expand the Godzilla universe, including publications, merchandise, and collaboration products.
"However, I don't feel the need to rush the next installment of a live-action film," he added. "Good films are all about quality. We want great ideas, an excellent script, a talented director, and the right cast to work on it carefully. Godzilla deserves to have that level of intentionality."
