Pacific Rim 2 may never happen
Say whatever you like but we really enjoyed Pacific Rim. It was obviously big and stupid on purpose, and features some of the best beast-on-bot action ever put on the big screen. The film didn't make a lot of money in the US but did decent business overseas, leading to some interest in returning for a sequel.
Certainly director Guillermo del Toro is game and has been recently talking about getting back to that drawing board after he's done with gothic horror Crimson Peak. But that may not happen now, thanks to awkwardness behind the scenes between Universal Studios and Legendary Pictures. Legendary has just started a new five year deal with Universal after moving on from a similar arrangement with Warner Bros. And they've brought some huge properties together for both studios, including having fingers in the likes of Jurassic World, Godzilla, Man of Steel, The Dark Knight Rises and many more.
