Universal Pictures’ Pacific Rim 2 is set for release on April 7, 2017. Showrunner and director Guillermo del Toro in a talk with Buzzfeed said: “The characters I love will return. Raleigh, Mako, Newt, Gottlieb and who knows, maybe even Hannibal Chau – but we are taking them into a fresh territory that will display amazing sights and battles. The first film set the stage and now we’re ready to have a blast.” Del Torro is also co-writing the script with Zak Penn and Travis Beacham. Legendary Pictures’ Thomas Tull and Jon Jashni will once again produce, alongside del Toro, Mary Parent and Callum Greene. Jillian Share will be executive producer. Universal Pictures will be releasing the Pacific Rim sequel movie worldwide in 3D and IMAX 3D.Read more
