Jaegers and Kaiju will once again be visiting the busy city of Toronto, Ontario this Fall to shoot scenes for Pacific Rim 2, the highly anticipated follow-up sequel to Guillermo del Toro's 2013 mecha blockbuster. Guillermo del Toro is also returning to direct the picture. Canadian news broadcasters at Global have reported that the working title for Pacific Rim 2 is currently being known as 'Maelstrom' though this could also be the alias given to the project while filming is taking place.

However, given that a Maelstrom is by definition a very powerful whirlpool, it's likely this could in fact be title for the Pacific Rim sequel. Not to mention, the title would make this artwork look quite legitimate:

Pacific Rim 2 Begins Filming This Fall, Guillermo del Toro Promises More Epic Battles!

Filming will take place primarily at Pinewood Studios in Toronto beginning in November and will continue well into 2016. In terms Pacific Rim 2's plot, we know the film will focus more so on the Kaiju and their origins. Timewise, the sequel will take place a few years after the events of Pacific Rim and will not act as a prequel. It was also revealed at SDCC this summer that Pacific Rim 2 will take place primarily in China, with new Chinese and Korean Jaegers being present to help defend the city against what we can only assume to be another Kaiju onslaught. As more details and set photos are released, be sure to keep it locked to Scified.com!
