Charlie Day and Burn Gorman’s characters from “Pacific Rim” will be back for the sequel, and this time they’ll actually have something to do – Okay, more to do than they did in the original, anyway.
Director Guillermo Del Toro tells Collider the ‘light relief’ will be back for seconds.
It’s a few years after the first one. It’s not an immediate follow-up. It is the world having been freed of Kaiju, what happens to the world after – what happens to the Jaeger technology once the Kaiju are not a threat. It’s quite a jump…it’s quite a different movie from the first one in that, but I think that two of our main characters like in the first one are Burn and Charlie. They are really, really – I mean, honestly, they are probably the guys I have the most fun writing along with Hannibal Chau so just from a purely selfish drive, I like writing them. I love writing for Charlie and Burn. I mean, [Burn’s] in CRIMSON PEAK for that reason, because I love working with him. You’re gonna get a lot of that, but the Kaijus are very different and you’re gonna see a very different type of the robots I think. It’s gonna be quite a different adventure.
Sounds like Ron Perlman’s Hannibal Chau will be back, too.
“Pacific Rim 2” will be on screens April 7, 2017.
