Is There A Possible Pacific Rim/Godzilla Crossover?

Collider talked with Guillermo del Toro, who said:
So far with the [Pacific Rim] sequel, what we’re writing, what we’re creating, is very different, so there are no plans. Hypothetically, I would love the f@#$ 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.
Okay, maybe not. But not totally out of the question. What would that be like?

Pacific Rim hits theaters on 12 July. Godzilla is scheduled to hit theaters on 16 May.
