Pacific Rim Uprising director Steven S. DeKnight revealed in a new interview the biggest changes to the sequel that came after test screenings.
Unfortunately, Pacific Rim Uprising may not see much more commercial success beyond the original’s $411 million worldwide total.
Boyega’s character Jake Pentecost, son of Idris Elba’s Stacker Pentecost from the first Pacific Rim, starts the sequel as a black market trader who steals Jaeger parts and sells them illegally.
But soon after the start of the movie, he gets wrapped up in the same Kaiju conflict that his father did.
