The multiverse concept is a hot item for cinema's now.
A movie about a crack underneath the sea bed that bleeds out multiverse Toho creatures wouldn't surprise me.
Heck remember this?

Heck, tokusatsu was already doing multiverse stories more than a... ahem... Decade ago.
Now SH figuarts has release photos of their upcoming figure of 2023 Godzilla based on the new movie

I wonder why they decided to release so much promotional material at once after being secretive for so long.
Didn't Legendary have an exclusive license for live-action Godzilla productions for a while, which is why Toho only did anime for the past few years? Maybe the license on promoting live-action productions just expired and they're making up for lost time, or something like that.
Like I said elsewhere, I thought Legendary had pretty much perfected Godzilla's design for the 4DX/Dolby/IMAX generation. But Toho's somehow taken it to the next level here, blending that with the classic 50's design and touches here-and-there from other eras to create a truly definitive version of the King. 
Maybe if they do a sequel to Minus One we can get a movie following the descendants and a new version of burning Godzilla.
I bet this design would look amazing in burning form.

That would make more sense, it always bugs when they suddenly throw a prequel into a franchise and have to come up with some, often ridiculous, excuse for why nobody mentioned it in the original.
Forget Barbenheimer, that's the double feature I want.
Watched Shin Godzilla for the first time, definitely an interesting take on the formula. The part that really stuck with me is that first form that beaches gave me the biggest uncanny valley feeling I may have experienced which made it pretty memorable.
Watched Final Wars as well which is something else. It's like a late Fast and Furious entry that just throws everything to the wind and is so ridiculous even for a kaiju film. The shade on the American film zilla was hilarious.
I hadn't realized how much I had been stuck in that Showa era with my Godzilla. The Millenium era is especially spotty. Do these benefit from going in order or is it OK to pick and choose?

The Millenium era are all completely different continuities. *None are related to each other except in that they're all Godzilla movies and most of them pretend the 1954 original still happened in their timeline. So just pick what looks interesting to you.
Edit: *Almost none of them. I forgot about the one duology, as Christopher said below.

The six Millennium films are in five different universes, so the only ones where the order matters are Godzilla Against Mechagodzilla and Tokyo S.O.S., the Kiryu duology. And in my opinion, the best Millennium films are the second and third (Megaguirus and GMK), so they might be worth saving for last.
Here they may fear it invites another atomic attack.
An alternate timeline might have only a single atomic used to destroy the summit of Mt. Fuji and a rock type ‘Zilla emerge in a populace dazzled by the flash..a la’ the Triffids.
Has the Yamato ever faced ‘Zilla in fiction?
Well, given the Yamato was sunk during World War II, it wouldn't be around to face Godzilla. The Space Battleship Yamato however with its Wave Motion Gun...
The Sacred Beasts of Yamato faced Godzilla in Godzilla, Mothra, King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters All-Out Attack. That's about it.
Okay. Who had Justice League VS Monsterverse on their bingo board? In October we are getting a Monsterverse vs Justice League crossover. Seems this was leaked ahead of release
DC was like "You had me at giant gorilla".
Wow -- Godzilla used to be a Marvel character. Although this one actually looks like Godzilla, as opposed to Herb Trimpe's version in the Marvel series, who was green and had a head like a T. rex.
Logically, Superman alone could easily deal with Goji and the monkey in a few pages.
To get REAL Fan-Brain about it, we know that, as a byproduct of their ability to feed on Nuclear Energy, certain Titans like Godzilla produce a unique radiation of their own which has strange and as-yet-not-fully-examined effects; it could in fact be that this unique energy is close enough on the Radiation Spectrum to our old friend Kryptonite that Superman won't be able to play at full power anyway.
