The decision was to delay production on the sequel indefinitely so that the creative team have an immense amount of time to excel in making a worthy sequel to 2013's "Pacific Rim."
Apparently, the person who wrote the first one was at nap time, but it's expected they want to graduate kindergarten before writing the sequel.
C'mon, just have the giant monsters fight the giant robots in more epic ways.

Hollywood always screws up sequels to one-off movies. No doubt they will want to "take it in a bold new direction" and make Pacific Rim 2 a romantic comedy starring Jamie Dornan and Shailene Woodley.

The first film starring <s>Charlie Hunnam, Idris Elba, Rinko Kikuchi, Charlie Day, Robert Kazinsky, and Max Martini</s> a shitload of special effects grossed over $411 million worldwide.

Instead of just one dude wearing a grill, it's grills for everyone. They're taking a year off for speech training.
I'm pretty sure the first movie didn't have a writer, so this is a big upgrade.

Will they show the robots actually fighting this time, instead of starting extremely brief action shots and then cutting back to the cockpit stuntmen pretending to lose their balance and the talking heads?
Fucking boring movie.

By the way, I heard on Flickering Myth that this movie is now 100% green lit. John Boyega getting on board was the final push it needed to be given the go.
