Hasn't happened yet, so the their is no canonical link between Pacific Rim and Kong. It's not even definite that Pacific Rim will be part of Legendary's Monsterverse.

Bottom line, the Jaeger program wouldn't exist in a Nick Fury/Kong crossover.

Nick Fury doesn't know any Monsterverse Kaiju either. (Except technically for Godzilla I guess. But not in the MCU.)

Kong/Avengers comparisons for an imaginary crossover that fans would want == funny.

Pacific Rim being in the Kaijuverse == what the fans want, therefore... not funny, so shouldn't be there?

Humor. It is a difficult concept.  ::)

Pac Rim 2 won't be a full reboot. John Boyega will be playing the son of Stacker Pentecost (one of the greatest movie names of all time).

You skipped a line, "We learn by doing".

Yeah, I know, they aren't integrating it yet. Why, Lord knows. Admittedly the first film would never really fit, but was a sequel to that very closed-off story so demanded by fans? I'm pretty sure we would have been happy with similarly designed giant robots punching kaiju in the face to music like from Iron Man 1 + Toho kaijuverse.

Oh well. I guess the puny humans shouldn't level up so fast anyway.

Agreed also on the name.

(But should have had one of the jaeger pilots with him instead of Nova Corps.)

Pacific Rim isn't MCU. Nick Fury wouldn't know any Jaeger pilots.

Of course it's not MCU. It's Dark Universe.

Okay, guise, come on, take this seriously.

I saw a pizza box in one of the scenes, which is a trick you are no doubt aware of with this director. He likes to hint at cross-overs from what SEEM to be the same universe, but aren't. They're actually rather poignant and brilliant representations of other movie universes (sorta like when you saw the alien skulls near the end of Predator 2, but much, much subtler). The hint in that case was Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, which did a cross-over with the Transformers. The TMNT did cross-overs with Batman. Transformers were a Marvel property (comic-wise) back in the 80s. Dark Universe is an offshoot from the third cousin of the second grip from the original Creature From the Dark Lagoon, but it has ties to the TMNT because of Eastman and Laird's controlling interest in the studio that originally made those horror films.

So...yeah, Dark Universe. Mummy vs Ninja Turtles vs Transformers coming soon.

QuotePart of the plot for the movie had the Knight Rider team hitting Vegas. In particular the action centered on the fictional Montecito Casino and Hotel. This is where things go weird. You see, in 2008 NBC had another show on called Las Vegas which told the stories of the staff of the Montecito. As a result any time characters on any NBC TV show would go to Vegas, they always seemed to end up at the Montecito. It started out with some full on crossovers with Crossing Jordan but then soon the Montecito just kept popping up on all sorts of shows without there being any full on event going on. No characters from one show meeting characters from Las Vegas, just the hotel. At first I thought it might be some sly way to promote the Las Vegas series. But it just kept happening so often that, at this point, I think NBC just wanted to get its money's worth out of those huge casino sets. Regardless of why they did it, the Montecito has now become this huge hub connecting the realities of a ton of shows. Now included among those shows, all the Knight Rider TV shows and movies.

   So Knight Rider links into Las Vegas, why is that so bad? Well first, lets start slow. There is one thing that needs mentioning with any Las Vegas crossover. Action star Jean-Claude Van Damme did a guest spot on Las Vegas playing himself. In a shocking turn of events, they killed him off! So in the world of Las Vegas Van Damme is Van Dead. That means any time a new show links to Las Vegas, like a virus, Jean-Claude Van Damme ends up dead in that show's continuity as well plus in the continuities of any shows connecting to THAT show. It's just horrible. So this crossover means Van Damme is dead in the world on Knight Rider. But here's some irony. In the Knight Rider spin off Team Knight Rider, the original driver of KITT, Michael Knight, was believed to be dead. This new film featured David Hasselhoff returning as Michael Knight. So it's sort of a trade off: Van Damme dies but like a phoenix rising from the ashes, Hasselhoff lives again. It also makes the movie a crossover of Las vegas AND the new and old Knight Rider shows.

   Still haven't gotten to the real wrongness though. Las Vegas links to Knight Rider. Fine. Well, Knight Rider links up with the aforementioned Team Knight Rider. Here is where things go horribly wrong. Team Knight Rider has a crossover connection to the Star Trek Universe! That's right. Because of this weird Knight Rider movie and because NBC is hell bent on getting their money's worth out of those Montecito sets... Jean-Claude Van Damme is DEAD in the Star Trek universe! Nooooo!!!! KHAAAAAN!!!! (Or should that be HASSELHOFF!!!!!) In the words on Andy Warhol (sort of) in the future every Jean-Claude Van Damme will be dead for 15 minutes.

   Seriously though, this makes things very weird. Because of a Knight Rider TV movie, all of Star Trek now coexists in the same world with some really unexpected shows. It was weird enough when it was linked up with Knight Rider for God's sake but now... Well, who would ever have thought that classic Trek existed in the same world as Bewitched? Well it does now. Bewitched, Medium, Knight Rider, Star Trek and Heroes are all now part of the same world. Extra weird because I know the folks on Heroes are huge Trek fans and, right now, I'm sure THEY aren't aware that their show is now part of the Tre universe. Right now I am living for the possibility of someone pointing Heroes honcho Tim Kring to this page and him going, "Get the &#^# out of here! Really?!?!"

   But seriously, for the sake of Jean-Claude Van Dammes everywhere, people, crossover with Las Vegas carefully. There are some big shared realities out there. One wrong crossover that links Las Vegas to one of those huge groupings and Van Damme could be dead on, like 50 shows instantaneously.
