A recent interview with director Guiliermo Del Toro provided some new insight into his upcoming film Pacific Rim 2 the sequel to 2013’s fan favorite monster vs. mecha action spectacular.
Del Toro offers a few details about the story structure for this new film:
“It’s a few years after the first one. It’s not an immediate follow-up. It is the world having been freed of Kaiju, what happens to the world after – what happens to the Jaeger technology once the Kaiju are not a threat. It’s quite a jump.”
Furthermore, Guiliermo has apparently confirmed two returning actors for this project:
*Charlie Day as Dr. Newton
*Burn Gorman as Dr. Herman Gottlieb.
Will anyone else return from the original film? What new adventures await us on this side of the Breach? Only time will tell!
Pacific Rim 2 is expected to hit theaters in 2017. Stay tuned to TokuNation as we keep you up to date on all Kaiju and Jaeger news!
Movie is set "a few years" after the first and begins adapting to the Kaiju-free world... until the new monsters come forth.

Hmm, what could Jaeger tech be used for post-Kaiju... maybe war machines ala Gundam? Country mascots? Lawn decorations?
Or maybe they use the Jeagers to build those super big walls that the asshole politicians always wanted? LOL
Pretty fucking randy for news on this.
Hmm, that sounds interesting. I am still hoping for that Godzilla/Pacific Rim crossover though.
A seismic event erupts from a new rift, causing the formation of Monster Island.
Let's hope it's better then the first one.
