Even Pacific Rim Wants In on the Multiverse Craze

As a gamer with over two decades of experience under my belt, I must say that this news about the Pacific Rim prequel series and potential crossovers between Jaegers, Kaiju, Godzilla, and Kong has me more excited than when I first discovered the hidden cheat code for infinite ammo in Quake III Arena.


As a lifelong fan of Pacific Rim, I am beyond thrilled to hear that Legendary Productions is working on a live-action prequel series set in the world of Jaegers and Kaiju. With two blockbuster films and an animated series under its belt, Pacific Rim has always been a favorite for those who love giant robots and monsters battling it out to save the planet.

Director Steven DeKnight shared insights with SYFY about his initial ideas for the third live-action film, explaining the intended development of the Jaegers and Kaiju. He proposed that it would be revealed that these monsters were not mere creatures, but rather ones controlled and mistreated by the Precursors. The humans, in this narrative, would have released many of them, leading to a climactic battle where Jaegers and Kaiju team up against common enemies. Towards the end of the movie, his vision was to introduce a multiverse within the franchise, allowing humans to traverse various dimensions.

Pacific Rim x Monsterverse: It Almost Happened

Later on, DeKnight disclosed that the movie’s conclusion was intended to pave the way for Jaegers to encounter characters from Godzilla and Kong. Essentially, he hinted at a grand reunion at the end of the story, which would have served as a wrap-up for the plot. Moreover, this ending would have connected the tale to the Monster-Verse, allowing potential crossovers between the Pacific Rim series, King Kong, and Godzilla franchises.

The director of Pacific Rim: Uprising shares his thoughts on why a third film hasn’t been made yet and expresses his hope for Guillermo Del Toro’s return to the series. He said, “The issue is whether there’s enough audience to sustain another installment given the films’ high production costs. However, I deeply wish that Guillermo del Toro would rejoin us and create a third film.”

As a gamer, I’ve got to say, the Monsterverse has been absolutely slaying it lately! The duo of Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire and the TV series, Monarch: Legacy of Monsters, have truly leveled up its popularity. Now, about the third Godzilla/Kong movie’s storyline, it’s still under wraps, but I can’t help but imagine the epic showdown between those colossal monsters and Jaegers! With Pacific Rim making a triumphant return, who knows what mighty battles could unfold?
