Pacific Rim 2 picks up newcomer for female lead
Pacific Rim 2 has added another cast member in young Cailee Spaeny, who’s only been in the professional acting game since the start of the year. She’s appeared in two feature films Counting to 1000 and Cashier.
Spaeny joins a cast that currently includes John Boyega, Scott Eastwood and Ron Perlman who is returning as Hannibal Chau. It looks like Spaeny could be playing a female lead, but no details of her character have been released yet.
The sequel to Pacific Rim features a widely different cast and crew, the film is dubbed with the subtitle ‘Maelstrom’, is being directed by Steven DeKnight (Netflix’s Daredevil), and penned by Emily Carmichael, who has a long list of short films under her belt.
Pacific Rim 2: Maelstrom is scheduled to start shooting in Austrailia this November, and due for release on February 23rd 2018.
