'Pacific Rim 2' SPOILERS: Guillermo del Toro's Animated Series Will Bridge Gap Between Monster Movies Before 2017 Release Date

When filmmaker Guillermo del Toro announced last month that Pacific Rim 2 would be hitting theaters on April 17, 2017, he also shared information on an animated series that would be produced before this sequel. According to a new interview with the Strain creator, this animated series will bridge the gap between the first movie and its sequel.

"It's a great set-up and a link between the first movie and the second movie," he told Collider in a recent interview. "It really enhances the mythology of the characters; we have cameos of characters from the first movie, but mostly it's a new set of characters. New jaegers, except for one or two, [and] new kaijus. It's really fun."

he went into some detail describing what he'd hope to accomplish with the animated series (which has yet to find a network to run on).

"We're going for a long arc, so the idea is to show a group of characters-we have pilots, functional jaegers, but we have all these younger characters," he explained. "I really want to explore things that are complimentary to the things that I want to explore in the second movie: drift, what drifting does to you, what is needed to drift, a lot of stuff that I think is important, but also the jaeger technology, the kaijus being evolved, ideas about the precursors - the guys that control the kaijus."
