\"Pacific<\/p>\n

2018\u2019s Pacific Rim Uprising<\/em> made more that $290 million worldwide, but with a reported $150 million budget plus advertising costs on top of that, it wasn\u2019t successful enough to lead to a third film in the Pacific Rim<\/em> franchise.<\/p>\n

But after reading this latest update from Uprising<\/em> director Steven S. DeKnight<\/strong>, I wonder if fans might regret not turning out in bigger numbers for that sequel. The filmmaker confirms that he had a plan for a potential Pacific Rim 3<\/em>, which would have\u00a0incorporated King Kong and Godzilla into Guillermo del Toro\u2019s universe of kaiju and jaegers. But the giant fights that inevitably would have ensued on screen would not have been between the players you might think.
<\/span><\/p>\n

In a series<\/a> of recent tweets (via The Playlist<\/a>), DeKnight shed some light on his plan for a Pacific Rim<\/em> Godzilla vs. Kong<\/em> crossover. When someone asked him if he \u201cfancied a shot\u201d at a crossover between the two franchises, he responded<\/a>, \u201cThat was actually my long term plan. [Pacific Rim 3<\/em>] was structured to end in a way that married the two universes.\u201d Of course, having a plan and actually being able to execute that plan are two very different things, and DeKnight acknowledged<\/a> the potential gulf between them in a different tweet, saying \u201cit was just an idea,\u201d which echoes previous comments he\u2019s made about the possibility.
\nBut if you thought the entire reason for a possible crossover was to see someone piloting a giant jaeger robot which punched Godzilla and\/or Kong square in the jaw, you would be mistaken. When a fan expressed exasperation at the idea of \u201ca bunch of dumb robots [fighting] the two most iconic monsters of all tim,\u201d DeKnight stepped in to add some extra clarification. \u201c[You\u2019re] assuming the giant robots would be fighting them. Which is incorrect, at least in my version.\u201d Naturally, that leaves us wondering what would have happ<\/a>ened if this version came to pass. I guess the most obvious remaining option would be for Godzilla, Kong, and the jaeger pilots to team up to fight an even larger threat from an alternate dimension. (But man, I\u2019d love if they could have just thrown logic to the wind and had Kong pilot an even more massive jaeger.)<\/p>\n

I asked DeKnight about a possible crossover when I interviewed him for Pacific Rim Uprising<\/em>, and he told me, \u201cI have an idea, a plan for the third part of this\u00a0Pacific Rim<\/i>\u00a0trilogy that would open up the universe and allow that crossover if Legendary wants to. It\u2019s totally up to them.\u201d Interestingly, when a fan asked him to spill some additional details about his seemingly-abandoned plan yesterday, he would not. \u201cCan\u2019t,\u201d he said<\/a>. \u201cWould\u00a0never want to step on Legendary\u2019s creative toes. Worked with a lot of good, passionate people over there.\u201d To me, that indicates that maybe, just maybe, the possibility has not been completely removed from the board just yet. But it certainly sounds like a long shot, so it\u2019s probably best to lower your expectations and then be surprised if it ever actually happens.<\/p>\n
