Pacific Rim 2 is really gonna happen.

They got a director and everything: “Steven S. DeKnight will helm Pacific Rim 2, his first ever directing gig after creating TV series Spartacus, and helping to to make Netflix original Daredevil a success.” Now, normally I would be perhaps a little worried.  Because sequels are sequels, and you have to be concerned that the new director would not be committed to the vision of the old, and so on, and so forth.

But come on. Pacific Rim.

Giant robots, hitting giant monsters in the face.  That’s all we need.
