Pacific Rim 2 announced for 2017

Guillermo del Toro is bringing us back to Pacific Rim in 2017 for a second installment. Despite a disappointing box office result, Pacific Rim did gain a decent amount of positive reviews and a lot of people did like it. It was rumored that a sequel was in the works back in October of last year, but things are now official.

Pacific Rim is switching from Warner Bros. to Universal after Universal acquired Legendary Pictures last year. Zak Penn will also takeover on writing and will replace Travis Beacham while Guillermo del Toro will return to direct. Universal announced an April 7, 2017 release.
