The King of the Monsters is set for an early return next year. The anime film Godzilla: The Planet Eater has just been given an international release date.
The final film of the anime trilogy has already been released in Japan in November. Luckily, The Planet Eater is also set for an international release on Netflix in January.
The Planet Eater is preceded by Godzilla: Planet of the Monsters and Godzilla: City on the Edge of Battle. However, the third film is truly exciting since it would pit the new Godzilla against the new King Ghidorah.
The synopsis for Godzilla: The Planet Eater reads as follows:
The new version of King Ghidorah certainly appears more menacing, thanks to the anime upgrade. Nevertheless, we're still rooting for Godzilla, for the sake of humanity's future.
The Planet Eater will only be the first film that will feature a major face-off between Godzilla and King Ghidorah next year. The live-action Godzilla: King of the Monsters will also have Ghidorah take on Godzilla as well as Mothra and Rodan.
Godzilla: The Planet Eater will premiere on Netflix on January 9, 2019. Godzilla: King of the Monsters crashes into theaters on May 31, 2019.
