Pacific Rim fans were thrilled to hear that a sequel, Pacific Rim: Maelstrom, once thought to be a questionable proposition, was back on.
Fully titled Pacific Rim: Maelstrom, the sequel is set to take place several years after the events of the first film.
One character who was going to be missed no matter what was Idris Elba’s Stacker Pentecost, who didn’t survive the original and is set to be succeeded by a son played by John Boyega.
Following the announcement, however, fans have had to accept that the franchise would be returning without some of their favorite characters from the original film.
