28-year-old actress Jing Tian may not be too familiar to US audiences yet, but she is most definitely a star in her native China, having featured in numerous movies and TV shows over the past 8 years or so. Now, she's set to appear in both Kong: Skull island and The Great Wall, and Legendary has announced that she's also booked a role in the sequel to Guillermo del Toro's divisive monster-mash, Pacific Rim.
No details on who Tian will be playing were provided, but chances are she'll be suiting up as a jaeger pilot with John Boyega's new lead character. They’ll both join Suicide Squad‘s Scott Eastwood and the recently announced Cailee Spaeny.
Pacific Rim 2 (possibly subtitled, "Maelstrom") will be directed by former Daredevil showrunner Steven S. DeKnight, and is scheduled to hit theaters on February 23, 2018.
