Pacific Rim: Maelstrom Plot Synopsis:
It is 2035, ten years after the Battle of the Breach, in which the inter-dimensional portal created by the Precursors (through which they sent marauding Kaiju) was closed. Former Jaeger pilot Jake Pentecost - son of Battle of the Breach hero Stacker Pentecost - makes a living by stealing and selling Jaeger parts on the black market in the Los Angeles area. After he tracks part of a disabled Jaeger's power core to the secret workshop of fifteen year-old Jaeger enthusiast Amara Namani, both are arrested by the Pan-Pacific Defense Corps (PPDC) after an altercation between Amara's small, single-pilot Jaeger Scrapper and the Police Jaeger November Ajax. A holographic transmission of Jake's adoptive sister and PPDC Secretary General Mako Mori persuades him to return to PPDC as an instructor, with Amara as his recruit..
Update: New theatrical release date set for March 23rd, 2018.
Universal Pictures via Legendary Pictures has adjusted their Pacific Rim (2013) sequel, Pacific Rim 2 (2018) aka Pacific Rim: Maelstrom (2018), to release in movie theaters on February 23, 2018. This change in release date is from the previous pushbacks that included first April 2017, then August 2017, followed by ultimately pulling the film entirely off the release calendar. Steven S. DeKnight will direct this sequel movie. Scott Eastwood, Charlie Hunnam, and Max Martini will star in Pacific Rim 2.
