Right now is an exciting time to be a fan of Godzilla, the city-crushing monster who has been around in storytelling for over 70 years after debuting in the 1950s with the original Japanese film, Gojira. Flash forward all this time, and Godzilla is now a staple in modern sci-fi blockbusters, with a new one releasing just a few weeks ago and another on the way next year. Right now, fans can’t stop talking about Godzilla Minus Zero, the sequel film that was written and directed by Takashi Yamazaki. Its predecessor, Godzilla Minus One, is streaming on Netflix for all subscribers to enjoy. Meanwhile, Godzilla will also return to the screen next year with the launch of Godzilla x Kong: Supernova on March 26. The film stars the late Sam Neill, along with Jack O’Connell, Dan Stevens, and Kaitlyn Dever.
To celebrate Godzilla’s continued surge in popularity, Toho has partnered with the designer-led fashion label, Subtitle, for “TIDES,” a new Godzilla street wear collection blending Japanese culture, workwear, denim, and even innovative textile techniques. The new collection is inspired by 70 years of Godzilla history spread across various projects, but Subtitle founder Lian Shi drew inspiration from Godzilla’s iconic heat ray while crafting the collection, using traditional Japanese craftsmanship to bring fashion, storytelling, and pop culture together into one collection. The new collection of merchandise features a Godzilla Minus Zero Black Denim Jacket, a Godzilla Blue Denim Jacket, a Godzilla Bandanna Reversible Liner Jacket, a Godzilla Light Blue Washed Denim Overshirt, a Godzilla Banana Hoodie, an Odo Island Souvenir T-Shirt, Godzilla Paisley Pants, and even a Godzilla 1954 Scale Denim Hat. Images of all the new merchandise can be found below.

and your particular way of facing the impossible.
DunePaul AtreidesArrakis · Dune, 2021The hero who knows exactly what becoming one will cost.
You carry a weight most people would crumble under: the knowledge of what you’re capable of, and the burden of what you might have to become.Why This Is You
You see further ahead than others and you plan accordingly, even when the vision frightens
you.
You are driven by loyalty to your people and a sense of destiny you didn’t ask for but
can’t escape.
Paul Atreides is not simply a hero. He is someone who understands the cost of power and
chooses to bear it anyway.
That gravity, that willingness to carry what others won’t, is exactly you.
From The Collider File
Dune: Part Three closes Denis Villeneuve’s trilogy on December 18, 2026, adapting Dune
Messiah.
Messiah is the book that turns on its own hero, which is why Villeneuve waited to film it.

Star TrekCaptain KirkUSS Enterprise · Star Trek, 1966The captain who refuses to accept that a no-win scenario exists.
You lead with instinct, warmth, and an absolute refusal to accept a no-win scenario, because you’ve always believed there’s a third option nobody else has thought of yet.Why This Is You
You take the mission seriously without ever taking yourself too seriously.
Your crew would follow you anywhere, not because you demand it, but because you’ve
earned it.
Kirk’s genius isn’t tactical, it’s human. He reads people, bends rules with
purpose, and wills outcomes into existence through sheer conviction.
That combination of warmth, audacity, and relentless optimism is unmistakably yours.
From The Collider File
Paul Wesley’s Kirk took the center chair in Strange New Worlds season 4, which
premiered July 23, 2026.
The producers have confirmed Kirk stays with the show through its final season.
No-Win ScenarioCrew FirstStarfleet
Star WarsPrincess LeiaThe Rebellion · A New Hope, 1977The one who holds the line when the line is all that’s left.
You are the kind of person who holds the line when everyone else is losing faith, not because you’re fearless, but because giving up simply isn’t something you’re capable of.Why This Is You
You lead through conviction. Your voice carries because your belief is unshakable.
You gave up everything ordinary the moment you chose the cause, and you’ve never looked
back.
Leia is not a supporting character in her own story. She is the moral center of the entire
rebellion.
That same fierce, principled, unbreakable core is what defines you.
From The Collider File
Carrie Fisher was 19 when she shot A New Hope, and Leia’s first scene in the saga is a
refusal.
Lucasfilm ruled out recreating her digitally, so her last appearance was built from footage
she had already filmed.
Holds The LineThe CauseRebellion
AlienEllen RipleyThe Nostromo · Alien, 1979No speeches. Just the person still standing at the end.
You are not reckless, not grandiose, and not particularly interested in being anyone’s hero. You just refuse to stop when it matters.Why This Is You
You see threats clearly, you document the truth even when no one listens, and when the time
comes you handle it yourself.
Ripley’s heroism is earned, not performed. She doesn’t have a speech. She has a
plan and the nerve to see it through.
You share her composure under the worst possible pressure, and her refusal to pretend the
monster isn’t there.
When it counts, you don’t flinch. That’s everything.
From The Collider File
FX renewed Noah Hawley’s Alien: Earth for a second season, pushing the franchise onto
the home planet.
Sigourney Weaver has said she is seriously weighing a return to Ripley after reading a new
script.
You have been through fire that would break most people, and what came out the other side is something the world underestimates at its peril.Why This Is You
You don’t ask for help, don’t need validation, and don’t wait for anyone to
tell you the rules no longer apply.
Your loyalty, when it finally arrives, is absolute, but it’s earned in silence and
tested in action, not in words.
Max is not a nihilist. He is someone who lost everything and found, against his will, that
he still has something worth protecting.
That bruised, stubborn, ultimately human core is exactly yours.
From The Collider File
George Miller has a script for the next Mad Max, The Wasteland, but has said only that we
will see whether it gets made.
The 1979 original was shot for a few hundred thousand Australian dollars and became one of
the most profitable films ever made.

How Is ‘Godzilla Minus Zero’ Doing at the Box Office?
Godzilla Minus Zero has grossed around $67 million at the global box office at the time of writing, with around $35 million of its earnings coming from America and around $32 million coming from international markets. Like it’s predecessor, it’s been reported that the sequel only cost $15 million, so it’s already broken even at the box office and whatever it earns from here on out is pure profit. It’s hard to fathom how, in an era where Hollywood blockbusters often cost more than $200 million to make, Toho and Takashi Yamazki can make something as gorgeous as Godzilla Minus Zero for less than $20 million.
Stay tuned to Collider for more updates and coverage of the Godzilla franchise.
