There was a time when the Godzilla , King Kong , and Pacific Rim movies all apportion the same home . A time when a crosswalk between those three worlds did n’t just seem probable , it seemed inevitable . That time has since passed — but the director of the upcoming Pacific Rim Uprising does n’t desire to scare off all hope and dreaming just yet .
“ I wo n’t say there ’s an Easter testis [ in the new movie ] but there ’s been a spate of discussion about that theory [ of crossing over ] , ” director Steven S. DeKnight told Collider . He continued :
await I think it would be marvellous to have the Pacific Rim world link Legendary ’s Monster Universe . It seems like a raw gradation . And part of the braggy overall plan after the third movie we ’ve talked about is that could happen . It ’s always a opening . It ’s by far not a certainty , it ’s merely theoretical at this point , but as a devotee myself I would love to see that happen .
So , theoretically , let ’s break this down . We jazz for a fact that the Godzilla and King Kong universes are getting ready to get over over . Director Adam Wingard isalready hard at workat prepping Godzilla vs. Kong for press release in May 2020 . There was even tease for it at the end of Kong : Skull Island and everything . That ’s happening .
The Godzilla and King Kong picture are being distributed by Warner Bros. , which also allot the first Pacific Rim . That ’s the magical sentence referred to at the start of this clause . All three are make by Legendary Pictures , which moved its business to Universal Pictures a few years ago . However , in the tear with warner , some titles ride out and others moved on . So while the lusus naturae movie are still at Warner Bros. , any future Pacific Rim movies , set out with next class ’s revolt , will be at Universal .
Generally , magnanimous movie studio do not share moving picture or intellectual holding . But there are exceptions , especially when there ’s a shared production caller involved . Spider - Man Homecoming , turn by Sony but produce by Disney ’s Marvel Studios , is one lesson . Disney , which owns the rights to M. Night Shyamalan ’s Unbreakable , is allowing Universal to apply those fictional character in the upcoming Glass . And sometimes , studio split the price of various part of a movie and share distribution too . For example , Blade Runner 2049 was release by Warner Bros. in the US and Sony Pictures internationally . So this kind of thing does befall , even if it ’s quite complicated , technological , and all about money .
That signify DeKnight saying talks have already part about the potential for this is good news . The bad news is he also bait that it would happen after a third Pacific Rim and the 2d one scarcely got made as it is . So a lot of people have to go see succeeding motion picture for a Pacific Rim - Godzilla - King Kong crossover to even happen . But , it might .
And if it does , can you even freaking imagine ?
Pacific Rim Uprising opens March 23 , 2018 . The next Legendary monstrosity pic , Godzilla : King of Monsters , opens March 2019 . Then Godzilla vs. Kong is out May 20 , 2020 .
