While plot details are few and far between, Guillermo del Toro (Book of Life, Hellboy) has said that this film will tell a different story than the previous, and will explore more deeply the alien world of Kaiju. He also said, "Some of your favorite characters come back, some others don't because we have decided that we're going to shoot ambitiously and say ‘Let's hope we have three movies,' so some characters come in at the end of the second, hoping that it will ramp up on the third one."
It is assumed that Charlie Hunnam and Rinko Kikuchi will be returning for the sequel, which is said to be ending with a cliffhanger that will lead us directly into a third film.
Countdown to the release of Pacific Rim 2 with the The Movie Hype App.
