As Godzilla’s 70th anniversary closes in, the 2024 holiday season brings more than merry greetings to fans around the world. The long-acknowledged king of the monsters is returning to Marvel after a hiatus that spanned more nearly 50 years. But there’s more! The kaiju will be seen alongside Marvel’s own first family, the Fantastic Four, in an arc that will have the fans screaming with joy.
Godzilla’s Marvel comeback for the first time in 46 years is coming with a pretty red bow on top. The Toho Co. creation has occupied a place in pop culture lore for a healthy period all by its lonesome, but no more. After quite a few enjoyable and lucrative crossovers with its Monsterverse neighbor, King Kong, the kaiju is finally sharing a space with the Silver Surfer, X-Men, Hulk, and more.
Godzilla’s epic comeback to the Marvel universe
In an issue that ran briefly from 1977 to 1979,Godzilla, King of the Monsterswas a comic crossover event set within the mainstream Marvel universe. Since the end of the issue, the king of the monsters neither set foot in the Marvel universe nor made any efforts to contact its once-lived-in reality for nearly half a century.
Now, Godzilla is set to take on Marvel superheroes in an issue succinctly titledGodzilla vs. Marvelwhere the former will encounter the Fantastic Four, Thor, X-Men, Spider-Man, Hulk, the Herald of Galactus, and probably more. In an exclusive report published byThe Hollywood Reporter, the kaiju will fight King Ghidorah, the classic Monsterverse antagonist, who has now been imbued with power cosmic and crowned as the new herald of Galactus.

Meanwhile, Galactus, the devourer of worlds, who is in itself the greatest antagonist of the Fantastic Four, will be engaged in another classic battle with Marvel’s first family. This sets up the Fantastic Four for an iconic team-up with Godzilla as they fight Galactus’s cosmically powerful herald.
Marvel gears up for an epic 2025 season
As Godzilla attempts to steal all the spotlight with its epic comeback crossover event, Marvel has more tricks hidden up its sleeve than it cares to share. The coming year will launch an extensive journey across time which will witness the kaiju taking on iconic antagonists and teaming up with Marvel heroes across different eras.

The limited series will feature six comic issues starting in March 2025. Meanwhile, Marvel editor-in-chief C.B. Cebulski expresses his delight with the upcoming crossover event as he claims that the collaboration has been a long time coming and Godzilla’s 70thanniversary simply seemed to be the most apropos time for the stars to finally align.

However, DC may have beaten Marvel to the punch as the former has already released their own crossover event titledJustice League vs. Godzilla vs. Konglast year in a much-anticipated issue (as the title already suggests).
Even so, the six-issue Marvel comic will be a once-in-a-lifetime achievement for both Toho Co. and the superhero universe given the revolutionary era that the CBM industry is going through, considering theFantastic Four’s debutin the Marvel Cinematic Universe in July 2025.
The first issue ofGodzilla vs. Marvelwill come out in March 2025.
