There’s been some movement on the upcoming delayed sequel to Pacific Rim, tentatively titled Pacific Rim 2. Guillermo del Toro took to Twitter to announce that he has turned in his script and budget for the sequel.
Legendary’s Pacific Rim 2, originally scheduled for release on August 4, 2017, will be redated at a later time. The filmmakers, Legendary and Universal Pictures, are committed to having Pacific Rim 2, the sequel to 2013’s Pacific Rim, which generated more $411 million at the global box office, be the vanguard, fully-immersive experience that the franchise deserves. To this end, the decision was made to delay the production and release of Pacific Rim 2 so that the creative team can continue in its efforts to exceed the amazing experience of the first film.
PACIFIC RIM 2: Budget and script went in. No answers yet. If anything happens, I will post. If nothing happens, I will just keep rambling.

Although we don’t know when, exactly, Pacific Rim 2 will officially invade theaters, at least we know Guillermo del Toro’s sequel is still happening. That’s certainly good enough for now.
