We have not seen the last of spectacular Kaiju vs Giant Robots in the big screen, because Pacific Rim 2 has indeed been greenlighted and has been assigned a target date set on April 7, 2017.[hit the jump to continue]

Pacific Rim's creator Guillermo del Toro will be back to helm the sequel and revealed that he’s writing the Pacific Rim 2 script with Zak Penn (X2). In addition, he also revealed that an animated series set within the Pacific Rim world will be unveiled sometime before that date. This animated series will be continuing the comic book series that began with "Year Zero" written by Travis Beacham.

Pacific Rim screenwriter Travis Beacham will also be contributing to the script, though in a more limited capacity since he’s busy running the upcoming TV series Hieroglyph. Del Toro is currently in post-production on his first “adult” film in the English language, Crimson Peak, but the 2017 date gives him plenty of time to complete that picture and move back into the Pacific Rim world. Check out the video below with del Toro making the announcement...
