The image above posted on Twitter by @sttcom3373 appears to be a concept image much like the one we posted previously except this one reveals Godzilla. There are definitely similarities between the two, the writing in the upper right is almost the same as the previous pic and this version of Godzilla seems to have Shin Godzilla vibe. One major concern is no Toho copyright on the image which the previous one has. More as we get it. Thanks to MyKaiju Godzilla for the find.

As most of us know Godzilla evolves during the course of Shin Godzilla from some type of sea creature to his final gigantic form in the film, but thanks to The Art Of Shin Godzilla book we know that actual may not be his final evolutionary form.
As most of us learned in school evolution happens over many generations over thousands, millions, even billions of years, but what if something triggered it to happen quicker.
In Shin Godzilla this certainly looks to be the case, in the film there are four "forms" that Godzilla goes through, with the ending leaving open to a possible fifth form.
The thing is there are most likely many more forms to Godzilla during his evolution, as speculated when he was revealed that his early stage looks a lot like a Frilled Shark (bottom), and while he may not have been specifically a Frilled Shark he almost certainly evolved from something like that possible an unknown sea creature.
His evolution was most likely accelerated by nuclear energy, very much like past versions, so instead of taking years it takes days but it is not just the normal evolutionary process it's something far more scary.
It appears in the film Godzilla can adapt also at greater speed shown by him suddenly having new abilities, not only shooting the ray from his mouth but then his back as well.

One adaption is his ability to absorb other life forms, his tail is the first evidence of this showing what appear to be other sea life.
As in the films final scene, and now from The Art Of Shin Godzilla book, we realize the next evolution is human/Godzilla hybrids, but the question could be why.
We are possibly the most intelligent creatures on the planet but obviously not the most powerful, Godzilla "realizes" this so he absorbs humans into his body to "use and learn" from us.
The human/Godzilla hybrids could be in a sense our replacements

going forward, they can fight us on more of an individual basis, one to one, where Godzilla can't, and allow Godzilla to continue to evolve even further. It's sort how we out lived the dinosaurs, we evolved to adapt better then they did. Godzilla maybe realize bigger isn't nessacarily better or that he needs to be more able to fight us.
Godzilla could be essentially making himself into a "God" like figure to his followers the human/Godzilla hybrids, "The Children Of Godzilla", his own race so to speak, what more perfect evolution could there be. We will just have to wait for the potential sequel to find out.

Amazon Japan will have a exclusive version of Shin Godzilla featuring a Steelbook case for both the 4K and 3 Disc Blu-ray Sets. It seems from the listing there isn't any difference in the content, 3 or 4 Blu-ray discs, promo sheets, ticket holders, etc. From the image is a sample it does appear to have images on the in and outside, and shows that it can hold 4 discs so it is possible it's the same case for both. Of note it does state that it is region free which means US fans can purchase and play the movie. It will retail for 10,584 yen (approx $90 US) for the 4K, and 8,424 yen (approx $72 US) for the 3 Disc Blu-ray.

7 Eleven Japan is having a promo with the release of Shin Godzilla, the Shin Godzilla/Seven Net Limited Mechagodzilla No. 2 Machine Ver. Set. The set include the same Blu-ray/DVD's that we previously showed but instead of the ticket for the S.H. MonsterArts special figure the set includes a Godvilla Vs Evangelion MechaGodzilla figure. The figure is a repainted version of the Bandai Movie Monster series figure (6 inches we believe). Prices are about 2,000 yen (approx $17 US) over just the movie by itself (but less then the price of the S.H. MonsterArts figure plus the movie). It can be pre-odered from the Japanese 7 Eleven site with the same March 22 release.
