Fans of Pacific Rim will be pleased to know that the sequel to Guillermo del Toro's Kaiju vs. Mecha blockbuster will begin filming this November! Speaking to Yahoo! Movies, director Guillermo del Toro reveals that he and his team are already deep into designing the new Jaegers and Kaiju which will feature in Pacific Rim 2 and he even goes as far to tease that they're currently developing an epic battle for the end of the film right now. 

Guillermo del Toro will return to helm Pacific Rim 2 which is slated for an August 4th, 2017 release date. Returning cast currently will include Charlie Day and Burn Gorman, as Del Toro was recently quoted saying:

“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 robots, I think. It’s gonna be quite a different adventure.”

Focusing more on the Kaiju's origins and their species as a whole, Pacific Rim 2 will take place a few years after the events of the first film, which puts to rest any specultion that the sequel would act as more of a prequel and backstory to the original. We also know that the Jaeger program has been revived and Humanity still relies on towering mechas to defend their cities from giant Alien monsters.
