Production For Guillermo Del Toro's PACIFIC RIM 2 Gets Delayed

The recent news about King Kong heading over to Warner Bros, surely got everyone excited. But if you were anxiously waiting for the Pacific Rim sequel to hit theaters

Pacific Rim 2 was scheduled to begin filming this November in Toronto. However, a new report by Latino-Review, indicates that the film will be delayed for reasons unknown. The Pacific Rim sequel went under the working title “Maelstrom,” and was set to hit theaters August 4, 2017. With this delay, that release date is most likely subjected to change to a later date. How long? Who knows? At this point, it could possibly be pushed back to 2018, when Gareth Edwards’ Godzilla sequel hits! Maybe even further back! This news definitely isn’t pleasant for the fans of the franchise, but look at it this way, if the Pacific Rim sequel goes the “way of the western”; we still have an awesome Godzilla vs. King Kong movie waiting!

We’ll keep you updated for any possible changes regarding this story! For now, explain your take on all this in the comment section below!

Karma is a bitch Del Toro.

You promised Justice League Dark after Pacific Rim 1, and you sold out just for a quick cash grab sequel. This is your just deserts.

Hopefully delayed forever. This shit has the power to destroy the career of a brilliant, albeit misguided, man.

I don't care neither for this nor Hellboy 3.

Just thinking of Hellboy babies makes me wanna hurl. Brings me flashbacks from Shrek 3.

Just think, had Guillermo decided to work on JLD we'd be getting that instead. If I remember correctly WB told him he had to start filming JLD and he said no because he wanted to do Pacific Rim more. With this delay he could have already been working on JLD and after that was done go straight into his next film.

Though, this isn't really bad news considering that the first Pacific Rim [frick]ing sucked.
