Pacific Rim 2 reveals returning stars and plot details

Some of Pacific Rim’s big scene stealers will be back for Pacific Rim 2

pacific-rimPacific Rim 2 is still in the early stages but Guillermo del Toro has confirmed a couple of returning characters and a time-jump.

Speaking to Collider, del Toro said that the sequel will take place a few years after the original following the victory over the Kaiju. “It’s a few years after the first one,” he said. “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.”

He also confirmed that Charlie Day and Burn Gorman will return as Doctors Geiszler and Gottlieb.

Burn Gorman Charlie Day

“Yes. It’s quite a different movie from the first one in that, but I think that two of our main characters like in the first one are Burn and Charlie. They are really, really – I mean, honestly, they are probably the guys I have the most fun writing along with Hannibal Chau so just from a purely selfish drive, I like writing them. I love writing for Charlie and Burn.  I mean, [Burn’s] in Crimson Peak for that reason, because I love working with him.  You’re gonna get a lot of that, but the Kaijus are very different and you’re gonna see a very different type of the robots I think. It’s gonna be quite a different adventure.”

Pacific Rim 2 is released in UK cinemas 7 May 2017. You can read more from Guillermo del Toro in our very special 100th issue, on sale now.
