Pacific Rim: Maelstrom will release in theaters on February 23 2018.
Pacific Rim 2 was thankfully revived in late February with new director Steven S. DeKnight taking the helm and previous director and horror-master Guillermo del Toro serving as producer.
Pacific Rim: Maelstrom, the upcoming sequel to the 2013 science fiction film featuring giant robots battling giant monsters, has seen its fair share of ups and downs since it was announced in 2014.
Hunnam explained that this is due to scheduling conflicts and he just wasn’t available during filming.
