The new Godzilla movie takes place in Japan after World War II. Post-war Japan, which has lost everything, now has to come face-to-face with a new threat, with the monster arriving to cause destruction in the country.

The trailer promises an epic return of the monster and the ensuing battle against the iconic Kaiju to rein in the havoc it is wreaking all over the country. The footage reveals intense scenes of destruction and the hardships that the people of Japan are going through in a post-World War world while also contending with a bigger threat, Kaiju itself.

Moreover, this time, the monster returns with a brand-new and more deadly weapon of destruction, its tail. The new trailer shows Godzilla growing huge spikes on its tail which it is using to sweep the city clean.

Godzilla is angry at humanity for unknown reasons and the people know that the monster neither forgives nor forgets. There could be many reasons for the monster's wrath. Godzilla Minus One also seems to take inspiration from the Monsterverse by focusing more on human perspectives by showing how Japan is trying to deal with Godzilla.

The new trailer also reveals an intense battle between the Kaiju and humans in the water, giving a hint of the danger he poses to humanity and what the people are doing to mitigate the threat.
