Godzilla Minus One star Sakura Ando is ready to take on the world-famous kaiju if the Japanese smash-hit returns for a sequel.<\/p>\n
The thrilling creature feature\/period drama stars Ryunosuke Kamiki as K\u014dichi Shikishima, a pilot in World War II whose world implodes after a terrifying first encounter with the iconic monster.<\/p>\n
Sakura has a smaller role in Godzilla as Sumiko \u014cta, Shikishima’s neighbor who is affected by the destruction of the kaiju\u2019s first attacks.<\/p>\n
However, following her duel Japan Academy Awards for both this and her leading role in Hirokazu Kore-eda\u2019s stunning Monster, the Shoplifters star could be back for an expanded role in a potential sequel.<\/p>\n
Speaking exclusively to Express.co.uk, Sakura teased her hopes for a more action-packed role if this terrifying version of Godzilla returns.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\u201cI wasn\u2019t expecting this [success] for Godzilla,\u201d she admitted.<\/p>\n
\u201cI was actually filming Godzilla and Monster at the same time. It was the same producer, and both of them I was approached for before Covid, so I had to wait for years.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe producer ultimately said that they were going to make them at the same time, so I had to choose one.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd I was like, \u2018Seriously?\u2019 But I fought for it and in the end I got to be in both. And I never imagined this for Godzilla.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Godzilla Minus One has become the most successful Japanese Godzilla film of all time, earning an impressive $107 million at the worldwide box office, surpassing previous record-holder Shin Godzilla.<\/p>\n
Fans are now, understandably, keeping their fingers crossed for a sequel, which Sakura is more than ready to jump headfirst into.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m only a small part in it,\u201d she said. \u201cBut, I\u2019m still alive, so I think, if there\u2019s a sequel, I\u2019d like to be in it.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut I didn\u2019t get to meet Godzilla in the film, so if there is a sequel I would like to meet and fight Godzilla!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\u201cI would be jumping like this Spider-Man-type woman taking down Godzilla.\u201d<\/p>\n
As for what the future holds for the franchise, millions of Godzilla heads certainly have their hopes up for a sequel, especially after Minus One concluded with a spine-tingling cliffhanger.<\/p>\n
Speaking at a Q&A hosted by Collider, director Takashi Yamazaki confirmed he was developing another film first before potentially starting another Godzilla picture afterward.<\/p>\n
\u201cHypothetically, if there is a Godzilla sequel, then I would like to date it with how long it\u2019s been in our timeline as to what the characters have gone through,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo, if we film it three years from now, I would set it three years from Godzilla Minus One.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n[ad_2]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
