“Pacific Rim 2,”
starring John Boyega of “Star Wars: The Force Awakens”
fame, has gotten a new release date. The sequel hits theaters
on Feb. 23, 2018; it’s the first film slotted for that date.
The movie is the
follow-up to 2013’s sci-fi actioner, which grossed more than $410 million at
the worldwide box office on a $190 million budget. Steven S. DeKnight
(“Daredevil”) will direct with Thomas Tull, Guillermo del Toro and Mary
Parent returning to produce. Boyega and his manager Femi Oguns will also
produce.
Boyega will play the son of Idris Elba’s character from the original film. The first
“Pacific Rim,” directed by del Toro, also starred Charlie Hunnam, Rinko
Kikuchi, Charlie Day and Robert Kazinsky.
“Pacific
Rim” was set in the near future with Earth at war with the Kaiju, monsters
that emerged from an interdimensional portal at the bottom of the
Pacific Ocean.
Boyega is
currently shooting “Star Wars: Episode VIII,” in which he reprises his role as
stormtrooper Finn.
The
Legendary Pictures film will be distributed by Universal Pictures around the
world, with the exception of China.
