Fans can expect director Guillermo Del Toro for his beloved work "Pacific Rim" as he confirmed that he is not stopping until "Pacific Rim 2" gets a green light.
The director recently tweeted the status of the film franchise, although things are looking good on their end, it is all up to Legendary studios to allow the movie franchise to continue. Here are the director's tweets.
PACIFIC RIM 2: Budget and script went in. No answers yet. If anything happens, I will post. If nothing happens, I will just keep rambling.

To answer all tweets re: PAC RIM 2: Budget ready. Awaiting script from John Spaihts. Then is up to the studios to give it a green light. — Guillermo del Toro (@RealGDT) October 11, 2015
Meanwhile, should the "Pacific Rim 2" project push through, Guillermo Del Toro said that she would love to have "Game of Thrones" star Maisie Williams to join the film's cast.
Posted on Del Toro's Twitter account is as follows, "Had lunch with Maisie Williams yesterday. Remarkable. Dammit- if PR2 happens, that girl is getting a Jaeger."
One fan was delighted and wrote, "You mean WHEN PR2 happens, right? Not if! When! Phew! Glad we got that sorted."
"I don't know if we could crowd fund PR2, but I'd kick in $1k just to see Maisie run a Jaeger," another avid follower commented.
Just a few weeks ago, The Hollywood Reporter stated that Legendary Studios are eager to give "Pacific Rim 2" a chance despite the risks surrounding the movie franchise.
"Sources say Legendary liked that the original performed exceptionally well in China, where the company is heavily invested, but for now the project - which had been ramping up to make a release date in August 2017 - has been halted indefinitely and will be pushed back (if it gets made at all)," as stated in the article.
