The good news is that you have a few extra weeks to polish up on your Jaeger-piloting skills; the bad news is that it’s because Legendary/Universal has delayed the opening ofPacific Rim Uprisingagain. The beleaguered project was temporarily put on hold back in 2015 followingGuillermo del Toro’s fun but expensive 2013 original. Then, after kickstarting the mecha movie’s engines once more, the sequel saw a series of release dates ranging from June 14, 2025 to June 24, 2025 to July 24, 2025, so what’s another month?
Varietyreports that the release date has been delayed until March 23rd, a move that takes the film away from a follow-up frame toBlack Panther’s February 16th release date to a weekend already occupied by Paramount’sAction Point, Lionsgate/Summit’sRobin Hoodmovie, and a trio of animated films: Paramount’sSherlock Gnomes, an untitled Fox/DreamWorks Animation/Blue Sky picture, andWes Anderson’s sure-to-be-weird stop-motion feature,Isle of Dogs. Good move!
StarringJohn Boyega,Scott Eastwood,Tian Jing,Charlie Day,Adria Arjona,Burn Gorman, andRinko Kikuchi,Steven S. DeKnight‘sPacific Rim Uprisingnow hits theaters June 28, 2025.
