The King of the Monsters will stomp back into Japan's theaters on July 29th with the release of Toho's Godzilla: Resurgence, but before moviegoers hear his roar, a new trailer shows how much firepower the radioactive reptile can withstand.

Directed by Shinji Higuchi and Hideaki Anno, Godzilla: Resurgence stars Hiroki Hasegawa, Yutaka Takenouchi, and Satomi Ishihara.

Godzilla: Resurgence marks the first Japanese film to feature the rage-filled reptile since 2004’s Godzilla: Final Wars. Encouraged by the international success of Warner Bros. and Legendary’s 2014 Godzilla movie, Toho brings the iconic creature back to its home turf for Resurgence, which will be released in Japan on July 29th.

Co-directors Anno and Higuchi have worked together before, having collaborated on the 2012 animated short, Giant God Warrior Appears in Tokyo and Nadia: The Secret of Blue Water. Additionally, Higuchi is no stranger to the King of the Monsters. He worked behind-the-scenes on 1984’s The Return of Godzilla as well as 2001’s Godzilla, Mothra and King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters All-Out Attack.
