Legendary films seems to be starting to connect the dots that some fans have been yelling about for months. They’ve got two big monster franchises that they’ve already joined into a shared movie universe, how cool would it be to throw in some giant robots into the mix? As to the possibility of it actually happening, a new interview with Pacific Rim Uprising’s director, Steven S. DeKnight, makes it sound like more than just a possibility:
“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.”
