Tough news for Guillermo del Toro fans, as Legendary has announced that Pacific Rim’s sequel has been put on hold indefinitely.

Back in June, director Guillermo del Toro committed to creating a sequel to the somewhat popular film Pacific Rim. The film’s release date was set for April 7, 2017, but now it’s been shelved.

Variety reports Guillermo planned to start production in November, but now the movie has been pushed back to August 4, 2017. The original film didn’t have a strong release, so it may have looked too costly to make a sequel, considering it’s very possible the second film would pull in even lower numbers.

Universal and Legendary were both working on the sequel together, with del Toro helming the project which originally starred Charlie Hunnam, Rinko Kikuchi, Idris Elba, Charlie Day and Robert Kazinsky.

While not much was known about the sequel’s story, del Toro promised fans would be excited about the monster sequel. The first Pacific Rim grossed $400 million worldwide with Warner Bros and Legendary Pictures working together.

It’s disappointing to see any del Toro film get shelved, but maybe he’ll choose another exciting project. He has his upcoming horror film coming up, Crimson Peak, which also starred Charlie Hunnam. He will be joined by Jessica Chastain and Loki actor Tom Hiddleston.

We’re excited for del Toro’s upcoming film, and look forward to hearing from the director on why Pacific Rim’s sequel was shelved.
