Cast Update On Pacific Rim 2

 

Actress and pop singer Cailee Spaeny has landed the female lead in 2018’s blockbuster sequel, Pacific Rim 2 as Spaeny will star opposite John Boyega, Scott Eastwood. Taking the reins from Guillermo del Toro is Steven S. DeKnight which currently occupies a February 23, 2018 release date.

Rest assured, del Toro remains attached to the follow-up in a producer’s role, and was recently dropping some story hints regarding the possible areas that DeKnight’s creature feature could explore. Three years ago, the core story of Pacific Rim may have left much to be desired but there’s plenty still to be explored in and around the Breach and the kaiju homeworld.

Despite a rocky road to development, Variety notes that Pacific Rim 2 will lumber off the conveyor and into production come November, when shooting will take place across Australia and parts of China. It’s currently penciled in for launch on February 23, 2018, and we’ll be bringing you all the news on this one as it develops.
