Guillermo Del Toro Wants a Godzilla and Pacific Rim Crossover

Legendary Films has a monster problem on its hands and not the bad kind of problem but a situation where they have two franchises that should be crossing over but not sure if it’s the right thing to do.

Of course we are talking about the financially successful 2014 film, Godzilla and the fan-favorite Pacific Rim.

Both films are about giant monsters, or kaiju if you will, and the rights to both franchises belong to Legendary. However, despite fan outcry it doesn’t seem like the two will crossover anytime soon considering Godzilla 2 is expected to feature Mothra and King Ghidorah.

But in a new interview with Movie Pilot, Pacific Rim 2 director Guillermo del Toro spoke about where he is with the sequel and if he’d like to see the King of the Monsters in his movie.

“So far with the sequel, what we’re writing, what we’re creating, is very different, so there are no plans,” del Toro said. “Hypothetically, I would love the frick out of it. I would love to see a jaeger and Godzilla duke it out. That would be too much for the human brain.”

Now, before fans get too excited. This is not confirmation that Godzilla will make an appearance in Pacific Rim 2. However, with del Toro behind the idea and with Legendary having the rights to both there may be a chance for the Kaiju King to cameo and come in contact with some jaegers.

We will just have to wait and see when the release date for Pacific Rim 2 gets closer. The sequel film is set for a 2017 release.
