Many casting details of the Pacific Rim sequel were revealed from time to time. But the only question that was haunting the fans from the beginning was that, who is going to play the female lead in the movie? Well, the makers have finally found their female lead.

Pacific Rim (2013) directed by the highly talented actor Guillermo del Toro was a blockbuster hit and has won the heart of critics and normal viewers. The movie is set in a futuristic world where the Earth is being attacked by Kaiju (a group of monstrous aliens). And these monsters travel to our world via a portal situated (deep inside) in the Pacific Ocean. In order to prevent our Earth from the attack of these monstrous aliens and to fight back, humans construct Jaegers (gigantic Meccano models) that can be mentally controlled by one or two pilots.
As of now, the sequel is titled as Pacific Rim: Maelstrom and was announced earlier in the year 2014.
