A True Detective Joins Pacific Rim 2
More casting news has arrived for Pacific Rim 2, as Deadline is reporting that Legendary Pictures has closed a deal for Adria Arjona (“True Detective”) to join the upcoming giant monster vs. giant robot battle royale.
She’ll be appearing alongside John Boyega, Scott Eastwood, Levi Meaden, Jing Tian, and Cailee Spaeny. Steven S. DeKnight is directing the sequel based on the world created by Guillermo del Toro and Travis Beacham.
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. The movie went on to gross more than $410 million at the worldwide box office.
Plot details are vague on the follow-up other than Boyega playing the son of Elba’s character, who sacrificed his life in the original film.
Pacific Rim 2 begins production this November in Australia and will also film a portion in China. It will be released February 23, 2018, by Universal Pictures around the world with the exception of China.
