John Boyega Chats Pacific Rim: Uprising And New Images Are Released

New photos from John Boyega’s new film Pacific Rim: Uprising have been released. John also spoke about the film in a new interview with EW. Highlights are below.

On his character Jake: Jake is the prodigal son. He is a young guy who was on the cusp of greatness in his early days when he was training to be a Jaeger pilot, but he always had a troubled relationship with Stacker. I’m the son he didn’t really talk about in the first film … the product of Stacker’s first love.”

On the Kaiju, Pacific Rim’s enormous monsters: “The Kaiju have found a new way. They are way more intelligent than we thought they were. The monsters you saw in the first movie were the test run, to see how the planet would hold up. The breach we thought was closed is not their only way into our world. Their plans are more specific. Jake leads the team in trying to build up a new defense against that.”
