PACIFIC RIM: MAELSTROM — John Boyega Set Photos and Zhang Jin Joins Cast
The only reason we are getting a Pacific Rim sequel is because the movie raked in a huge pile of cash at the Chinese box office. In a smart move Legendary has added Chinese action superstar Zhang Jin (IP Man 3, Kill Zone 2) to the cast. This is a growing trend for Legendary, who have put popular Chinese actors in Kong: Skull Island, Transformers 4, and The Great Wall to guarantee solid box office results in China.
Pacific Rim: Maelstrom has started shooting, which means leaked set photos. These photos feature John Boyega wearing what I imagine will become another iconic jacket. February 23rd, 2018 is over a year away, and I can't wait to see more from this film.
