When Legendary & Universal Pictures couldn't come to an agreement, Pacific Rim 2 was delayed indefinitely. This eventually led Universal Studios removing the sequel film off of their release schedule and replaced with Pitch Perfect 3. While many people doubted the franchise's future, director Guillermo Del Toro confidently revealed that the film is not dead, it just needs time to sort things out.

Even Universal Pictures has admitted that they still want the project to move forward. "The decision was made to delay the production and release of Pacific Rim 2 so that the creative team can continue in its efforts to exceed the amazing experience of the first film.” That was said during Universal Pictures' official announcement, last month.

Even though the franchise isn't looking too good at the moment,Guillermo Del Toro continues to fight for the film's release. Earlier on Twitter, he revealed that the budget and the script for Pacific Rim 2 has been submitted, and is waiting approval. Check out his tweet below!

PACIFIC RIM 2: Budget and script went in. No answers yet. If anything happens, I will post. If nothing happens, I will just keep rambling.
— Guillermo del Toro (@RealGDT) October 29, 2015

So, now it's just a wait and see. Will the studios love the script and approve of the film's release? I'm sure we'll hear something from Del Toro soon. Share your thoughts on the news in the comment section below!

I wonder if Universal is going to go through with this, or are they going to be a bunch of lightweight losers and say no to GDT.

I loved that movie. I didn't need it to have substance. I went in looking for amazing visual effects only.

Speaking of Iron Fist, Gusto's mother can take one pretty well.

Ya know what really chaps my ass? From a writing and creative standpoint, Pacific Rim isn't any more goofy than your average B marvel flick (Looks at You AOU) yet people act like it's not entertaining and the plot isn't easy to understand.

SuperCat - 10/30/2015, 9:06 AM

I want this!!!! First movie was awesome!

Itsbeenfun - 10/30/2015, 9:08 AM

I mean if you like AOU and hate Pacific Rim you got that wierd kind of taste in films imo.

I love GDT and wished that he would do Ragnarok, but his last two movies have been disappointments.

BlackPhillip - 10/30/2015, 10:26 AM

If you like MOS and hate Matrix Revelations then you got weird kind of taste in films imo :P
