Wizkid’s Song Will Feature In “Pacific Rim 2” – John Boyega

Hollywood actor John Boyega has said that Wizkid’s hit single ‘Daddy Yo’ will be used as one of the soundtracks of the blockbuster Pacific Rim 2.

The British-Nigerian actor made this know at the special screening of his latest effort ‘Star Wars: The Last Jedi’ at IMAX Cinemas, Lekki on Monday, December 25, 2017.

During the Q&A session, Boyega revealed that Pacific Rim will have a strong Nigerian influence.

“Pacific Rim is very important to me because Pacific Rim will actually be the first movie that I have done that I would heavily target Nigeria as a main marketing spot,” he told the audience.

“Pacific Rim is also important to me because I founded a company called Upper Room Entertainment after I made Star Wars 7. I actually produced Pacific Rim and what that meant is that there were ways which I could cater the character towards much more of a Nigerian background” said John Boyega.

Furthermore, he said, “I actually made Jake Pentecost who is actually Idris Elba’s son I made him Nigerian and we went through a whole process in which we put moments that reflected his culture in the movie.”
