‘Pacific Rim: Maelstrom’ News: John Boyega Set Photos & Zhang Jin Casted!

For those chomping at the bit for its release, We’ve gotten a handful of new news to help tide you over for the long awaited sequel to the 2013 film Pacific Rim, Pacific Rim Maelstrom.

Yesterday, The Daily Telegraph reported that Star Wars star John Boyega was on set during the films shooting all the way in Sydney Australia. The images aren’t groundbreaking, but they are pretty cool as one of them has Boyega running through what looks like a run down town.

In other news, Chinese actor Zhang Jin has joined the fight amongst other Chinese stars including Wesley Wong, Qian Yong Chen, and others. Jin has been in numerous Chinese films such as The Grandmaster, IP Man 3, and more! Pacific Rim Maelstrom will be directed by Steven S. DeKnight and is on track to be released on February 23rd, 2018 (although we would be fine if you decided to release it earlier. Nudge nudge.).
