This question was posed to DeKnight by Collider’s own Steven Weintraub during an interview at New York Comic-Con a few weeks ago, and the filmmaker revealed that this crossover notion has very much been discussed:

“I won’t say there’s an Easter Egg but there’s been a lot of discussion about that possibility [of crossing over]. Look I think it would be fantastic to have the Pacific Rim universe join Legendary’s Monster Universe, it seems like a natural step. And part of the big overall plan after the third movie we’ve talked about is that could happen, it’s always a possibility. It’s by far not a certainty; it’s merely theoretical at this point, but as a fan myself I would love to see that happen.”

I would love this to happen, especially if the Jaegers and Godzilla team up against a bigger threat.

 

[HStallion]

Only if Shin Godzilla kills them all.

 

[ElMexiMerican]

Yesss. That means we'd eventually get a Godzilla/Kong/Pacific Rim crossover

 

[firehawk12]

It'd only work if it was the Anno Godzilla and it was 3 hours of Idris Elba in meetings with the Evangelion music playing in the background.

 

[Plinko]

Godzilla's own acting is leagues better than the trash that was in Pacific Rim, so who knows how this would turn out.

 

[katsubento]

Day One if it happens. Would love to see Jaegars duking it out with Godzilla before teaming up with G to take down a dozen other Kaiju.

 

[Duderz]

Only if Shin Godzilla kills them all.

I'm as excited as any for Legendary's next Godzilla movie, but damn, after Shin Godzilla, how do you top that.

 

[Lagamorph]

Only if they bring back the original Pacific Rim theme song.
None of this remixed rappy shite the new one has.

I can see it now...

[Daingurse]

Cool. The Jaegers are gonna need a serious upgrade if that happens. They're not ready for the G-Man. He'd be like a Category 10 Kaiju.

 

[StoneFox]

Legendary Godzilla?

Why not Mechagodzilla?

 

[Parch]

If the Kong Godzilla crossover has any level of success, then of course Pacific Rim would love to join the party.

If they can agree to the licensing details, the logic of it is obvious. It's like it was meant to be.

 

[BLOODED_hands]

There's no way they can take the Big G...... Unless they introduce that Jaeger's can combine into one giant Jaeger to fight Godzilla! Then again it doesn't matter because that wasn't even Godzilla's final form!

 

[Kalentan]

Cool. The Jaegers are gonna need a serious upgrade if that happens. They're not ready for the G-Man. He'd be like a Category 10 Kaiju.

Would Legendary’s Godzilla’s atomic breathe be able to wreck Jeagers?

 

[Daingurse]

Would Legendary’s Godzilla’s atomic breathe be able to wreck Jeagers?

I would think so. I also don't see how the Jaegers would be able to hurt Legendary Godzilla. He tanked Castle Bravo for crying out loud lol.

 

[Fancyarcher]

I'd cool be with it. The Jaegers would seriously need to be boosted up in terms of height and power though. As is they could easily be crushed by Godzilla. Still, it's robot mashing dinosaur fighting time.

 

[redmetal86]

I'll accept this if there's a MechaGodzilla Jaeger.

 

[plasmawave]

Only if they build Jet Jaguar.

 

[Vulcano's assistant]

Movie writes itself.

They send the jaegers to a combat zone and the kaiju never showed up. Something else is taking the kaijus down. Naturally because fear is in what we don't know, half of the movie they are trying to hunt down the culprit. Aliens from the rift eventually get a sample of Godzilla's DNA amidst the 3 way war being waged and sent thru multiple evil knock offs.

 

[Master Yoshi]

Please don't do this, the tones of Godzilla 2014 and Pacific Rim are polar opposite...

 

[Sgt. Kabukiman]

Yes please.
The only thing missing from the NuGodziverse is giant robots. We need to get there.
WE. NEED. JET. MOTHERFUCKING. JAGUAR.

[Parch]

Leveling the powers is just a technicality. Easy enough to come up with some bullshit story to make sure all corners are equally talented.

 

[LumpOfCole]

Only if there's a scene after the credits where an eye-patch wearing Reptar turns to the camera.

 

[Gravidee]

Please don't do this, the tones of Godzilla 2014 and Pacific Rim are polar opposite...

That tone could easily change. Kong Skull Island was not as serious of a movie as G2014 (in fact, it was fairly close to Pacific Rim in terms of the comedy/seriousness balance), so whatever follows could be anything in terms of tone. We'll have to wait until King of the Monsters releases to really find out what direction the new Godzilla stuff is going in.

 

[Parch]

First Godzilla. Then King Kong. Then Pacific Rim. Then Jurassic Park.

 

[Bob Coffee]

It'd only work if it was the Anno Godzilla and it was 3 hours of Idris Elba in meetings with the Evangelion music playing in the background.

this, so much this. with 15 mins of actual action at the end.

 

[Falchion]

We can hate, but I would watch the shit out of that.

 

[WhiteRabbitEXE]

First Godzilla. Then King Kong. Then Pacific Rim. Then Jurassic Park.

you stop that right now

 

[CoolestSpot]

I can see it now...

Spoiler

"Jet Jaguar was an original prototype Jaeger that was single pilot, and they have to bring it out of storage during Kong and Godzilla's return."

Also throw in the new Japanese Godzilla in too. 'Murica Godzilla vs. Godzilla Japan Vs. Jet Jaguar and Jaeger team-up. What else can we throw into this mess?

 

[Jawmuncher]

I’d see it

 

[CoolestSpot]

I’d see it

Capcom will be inspired by these films and release "Kaiju Krisis", and you'll love it.

 

[LewieP]

Can they get Wolverine piloting one of the Jaegers?

 

[Ithil]

 

[Plumbob]

I don't get it.

Aren't each set of monsters separately the most catastrophic thing that's happened in each movie world?

Why would they not mention Godzilla when the Kaiju show up?

 

[Pachinko]

Pacific Rim is one of my favorite movies in the last 20 years and I have some interest in it's sequel but... I don't need those robots fighting godzilla.

Anyone who wants to see that style of cross over movie though, just go watch Final Wars , it's amazing in it's own right and pretty much a power rangers meet godzilla sort of movie.

 

[JCHandsom]

Only if Shin Godzilla kills them all.

This

And I liked Pacific Rim

 

[Geno Breaker]

I'd only like it if they were self aware about how dumb it is like in the original King Kong vs Godzilla.

Spoiler

I'd rather Pacific Rim not be tainted by the American Godzilla anyways, let them be their own separate things.

 

[Greigor The Fellhand]

ya'll forgetting that the Cat 5 kaiju tank huge nukes with little problem.

so I could see a team of Jeagers (5+) taking down godzilla.

 

[Ithil]

Godzilla eats nukes for breakfast.

 

[Barren Mind]

I enjoyed Pacific Rim even more than Godzilla. A crossover would be welcome.

 

[Symphonic]

Godzilla's own acting is leagues better than the trash that was in Pacific Rim, so who knows how this would turn out.

Boy you’re cool

 

[SillyEskimo]

I can’t wait to see what type of love story they try to cram into a movie like that in order to pull in the female demographic.

 

[Ultrarobotninja]

I don't get it.

Thought about this too, ideally they would have to open a portal to a parallel universe or something.

 

[Geno Breaker]

Slattern was left mangled by the bomb, and I'm like 99% sure all of the monsters in the PR universe weigh far less than the American Godzilla. He'd probably crush a jaeger in half with a tail swipe.

 

[GAMEPROFF]

I love when someone in media says something is possible.
I mean, its even possible that Mickey Mouse has a Crossover with Bugs Bunny on the Enterprise. Doesnt mean it is likely but its a way to keep all options open.

 

[Sotha_Sil]

We need to see this done first. Then bring on the mechs.

 

[Parch]

Please don't do this, the tones of Godzilla 2014 and Pacific Rim are polar opposite...

Tone maybe, but isn't Godzilla like a Kaiju? I mean he's almost exactly like a Kaiju.

This is a crossover that seems like the most natural thing ever. It is meant to be.

 

[CecilRousso]

Latest Godzilla was awesome.

Pacific Rim was decent entertainment, at best.

Don't have any need for this, and can't see it make sense on any other level then "both movies have big things in it". There's a world of difference between Godzilla and the monsters from Pacific Rim, and the tone of the movies aren't even close.

 

[Tal Shiar Agent]

ya'll forgetting that the Cat 5 kaiju tank huge nukes with little problem.

Slattern took a lot of damage from that nuke. Godzilla would take no damage and only get stronger from nukes.
