Working Title Of PACIFIC RIM 2 Is 'Maelstrom'; Begins Filming This November

With Guillermo del Toro's Pacfic Rim sequel set to hit theaters in 2017, the working title for the film has just been revealed, and could possibly give us a few hints at what the movie will be about!

With Pacific Rim 2 currently in pre-production, and set to start filming this November in Pinewood Studios, located in Toronto, Global News has learned and revealed the film's working title, which is Maelstrom! Any hints in there? Well, if you read it, and go on with your day, not at all. But, if you look up the term, you'll find some clues!

But hey, to save you the time, let's investigate this together! The definition of the term Maelstrom, refers to "a powerful whirlpool in the sea or a river," or "a dangerous area of water that moves very fast in a circle." Now after watching the end of the first film, you'd know that the protagonists of the film seemingly destroyed the alien's portal, and saved the world. Now if this working title has anything to do with the film, Mako and company saving the world was most likely not the case. And with Del Toro confirming at SDCC '15 that this film takes place about two years after the first one, anything is possible at this point. 

What ideas do you have about this film's working title? Are you looking forward to seeing this film? If not, consider that the making of Hellboy 3 depends solely on this film's success. Also, the banner image above is fan-made, although it fits the working title perfectly. What do you think about all this? Sound off below with any speculations or ideas!

You've been nominated to be the new cosplay guy. You have to bring the sexy back to CBM.

Lol, I'll see what I can do. Also, speaking of nominations, the CBM Awards should be even better this year then it was the past two years! Aside from that, I have some more things planned. It should all be fun.:)

Pacific Rim 2 is a box office hit = Hellboy 3

I'm not even that mad but doing the movie for the sake of doing another movie seems wrong.
Here's hope it's not the only reason.

Actually i should be mad because we could not see this JLA DARK movie if WB will scratch DelToro script and won't bother to find another director
(but you alredy had a replacement WB. You gave this guy Aquaman instead JLA DARK)

Anyway Hellboy 2 was better than Hellboy so i'm cool with that.
Pacific Rim doesn't deserve a sequel so i'm not cool with that though.

@MexicanSuperman

for complaining. Del Toro was considered to do many other projects. Now he have to do PR 2 to make Hellboy 3 so we probably won't see movies like Jekyll and Hyde or Mountain of Madness getting made. Wasn't Tom Cruise eager to star in MoM ? ... Never read MOM but I was curious about his involvment. JL Dark is no more. Kinda

Also some of us doesn't want to see PR2. First one was just average action movie.








Actually if you think about that, Godzilla with same story but PR pacing would be soild.

If it features the cast of the original, I'm not interested.

Except for Charlie Day and Ron Perlman. They can return.

@mexicansuperman

Because if we can convince enough people not to watch this, then @levitikuz won't get Hellboy 3 and that's a win for everybody.

I really hope the sequel deals more with the black market. Ron Perlman was great in the film and the black market area was really cool, so I really want to see more of that world.

@blackandyellow I've actually been thinking about doing cosplay articles...

But after really give it some thought, I changed my mind. Anyone that does those articles has to deal with guys disrespecting/insulting those girls, even though those same guys would never have a shot with them.

True. That's the shitty part of it, you'd always have to keep checking back to make sure nobody is being a dick.

Awesome. The first one was good fun, looking forward to the sequel.

The fact they made a movie out of this concept was awesome!...but the fact the movie sucked was not :(

And I guess $411 mil on $190 mil plus marketing is enough of a profit to warrant a sequel, maybe this will get the people claiming that every movie they didn't like "bombed" to chill a bit...probably not.
