Godzilla, at various times Japan's scourge and savior but undoubtedly the country's most famous movie monster, will retire aged 50 with a final movie to be final movie to be released later this year, Toho Co. said.
Shooting will begin in May on "Godzilla Final Wars," where the monster's record of merciless destruction of urban centers will be bolstered by the addition of New York, Shanghai and Paris.
...Though hailed as the end for Godzilla, Toho has retired the monster several times in the past and Toyama did not rule out the creature emerging from the depths again some time in the future.
