A few characters from the original Pacific Rim will be back for the sequel but apparently, there were originally plans for a lot more.
Pacific Rim: Uprising makes a lot of changes to the first movie by focusing on a lot of brand new characters.
The first movie saw Charlie Hunnam in the lead but the sequel will see an entirely new character played by John Boyega take center stage.
Writer and director Steven S. DeKnight recently revealed that there were plans to bring back Ron Perlman’s Hannibal Chau, as well as a handful of other characters from the original film.
