Full disclosure: we got insanely excited for a moment because Karl Urban would’ve been perfect for a movie like Pacific Rim: Uprising.
Urban has consistently delivered fan-favorite performances in a genre that’s typically a hard sell for mainstream audiences, and if granted the opportunity to star in the upcoming Pacific Rim sequel, he would’ve knocked it out of the park.
The guy has pretty much defined his career with impressive performances in hard sci-fi projects such as Dredd and Star Trek.
Looking at that photo, it’s not hard to imagine how people became confused and giddy about the possible casting development.
