Please forgive me if there are any typos here on display as it’s kind of hard to type over the height of my Nerd Boner of Possibility™. That being said… think about this… Pacific Rim and Godzilla are both properties of Legendary Pictures. Both feature giant monsters. What if….

What would happen if these two enormous worlds collided? Appropriately enough Collider asked the magic question… Could it happen?

“So far with the sequel, what we’re writing, what we’re creating, is very different, so there are no plans,” says Del Toro. However, “hypothetically, I would love the fuck out of it. I would love to see a jaeger and Godzilla duke it out. That would be too much for the human brain. But I don’t think there are plans on that. I don’t even know what direction they’re taking Godzilla in. I know somewhat that it’s grounded differently. Pacific Rim, my aspiration was, the color, the saturation of color, was almost an acid-drip version of the Heavy Metal coloring that I loved when Richard Corben was working there, when [Jean-Claude] Forest was working there. Super bright, super saturated, the crazy color and aesthetic. And Godzilla is more realistic, somewhat. That’s my thinking. That’s what I’ve heard. I don’t even know which way they’re going.”

Dudes, could you just imagine?
