Pacific Rim: Uprising, formerly known as Pacific Rim Maelstrom, is the sequel to Guillermo del Toro’s 2013 mecha vs. kaiju movie, which was produced by Legendary Pictures.
Steven S. DeKnight (Marvel’s Daredevil) slides into the director’s chair for the Pacific Rim sequel. He also co-wrote the script withEmily Carmichael, Kira Snyder, and T.S. Nowlin, based on an original story by del Toro, who remains involved as a producer.
John Boyega, who became an international star after playing Finn in Star Wars: The Force Awakens, plays the son of Stacker Pentecost, Idris Elba’s character from the original Pacific Rim. While many assumed Boyega’s character would be a Jaeger pilot, this photo seems to confirm it.
