Avatar Director Expresses Interest in Working on Godzilla Film

James Cameron's Offer for Godzilla Minus Two Sequel Collaboration with Takashi Yamazaki

During a promotional event in Japan for Avatar: Fire and Ash in December 2025, Avatar director James Cameron praised Godzilla Minus One (which he mistakenly referred to as Minus Two) and offered his assistance to the film's director, Takashi Yamazaki, on the upcoming sequel. Yamazaki, writer and director of Godzilla Minus One, appeared at the event shortly after completing the movie. During the exchange, Cameron joked that he would help Yamazaki with Godzilla Minus Zero if needed. He has reportedly wanted to work on a Godzilla film since 1993. Godzilla Minus One, which stars Ryunosuke Kamiki as Koichi Shikishima and Minami Hamabe as Noriko Oishi, will have a sequel in 2026. Cameron lauded the visual effects in Godzilla Minus One for enhancing the film's narrative. In response, Yamazaki humorously suggested Cameron could potentially take over production if necessary, revealing both Cameron's eagerness to collaborate on the sequel and the mutual respect between the two filmmakers.
