Pacific Rim 2 Back On With 2018 Release Date

Universal has officially set a release date for the sequel to Pacific Rim, February 23, 2018 (about a year after the original release date which was moved then pull off the schedule). Things have started to ramp up with director Steven S. DeKnight, than Star Wars hero John Boyega both being attached. Production is also scheduled to start in the 4th quarter. There is no word on if any stars from the first film will return. The opening is between the openings of two Marvel movies: Black Panther on February 16 and an untitled Fox/Marvel pic on March 2, hopefully this won't hurt it. The sequel has Boyega playing the son of Idris Elba’s character from the first film.
