Pacific Rim 2 adds Levi Meaden & Jing Tian

Levi Meaden (“Aftermath”) and Jing Tian (“Kong: Skull Island”) will join John Boyega, Scott Eastwood and Cailee Spaeny in director Steven S. DeKnight’s “Pacific Rim 2”.

We don’t have plot details yet but we do know that Boyega is on board to play the son of Idris Elba’s character from the first film which centred on a battle between humans and monsters that emerged from an interdimensional portal at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean.

According to Variety, Meaden is joining the franchise as Ilya, an irreverent and offbeat cadet.

Based on the world created by Guillermo del Toro and Travis Beacham, “Pacific Rim 2” will be produced by Thomas Tull, Mary Parent, Jon Jashni, and del Toro with Boyega and Femi Oguns of Upper Room Productions. Cale Boyter will exec produce.
