 For a while, it looked like a Pacific Rim sequel wasn't going to happen. Despite the film's dedicated fan base, low domestic earnings and reviews didn't bode well for Guillermo Del Toro's manga-inspired blockbuster. However, success overseas ensured that Pacific Rim Uprising would finally see the light of day. In China alone, the first movie recouped over half of its $190 million budget, with a gross of $112 million.

 Sure, Guillermo Del Toro is only on board now as a producer, but fans need not worry about Pacific Rim Uprising. With Daredevil show runner Steve D. Knight at the helm, we're sure that the upcoming sequel will become the highest grossing live action movie based on an original concept from 2018 when Pacific Rim Uprising hits cinemas. Star Wars alumni John Boyega will undoubtedly bring his A-game as Hunnam's official replacement when Pacific Rim Uprising... well, rises on February 23, 2018.
