Pacific Rim is a 2013 science fiction film directed by Guillermo del Toro.
The film is about a war between humanity and giant alien creatures called Kaiju.
Tom Cruise was originally cast as Stacker Pentecost, a commander of the human defense force.
Cruise is excited about the project and has already begun training for the role.
However, in October 2011, Cruise was injured during filming of Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol.
This injury caused Cruise to have to rest and not be able to participate in Pacific Rim.
Finally, the role of Stacker Pentecost was given to Idris Elba. Elba excelled in the role and helped make Pacific Rim a box office success.
If Cruise hadn’t been injured, Pacific Rim would likely have been a different movie. Cruise is a very successful actor and he will likely deliver a stellar performance as Stacker Pentecost. However, Idris Elba also excelled in this role and contributed to helping Pacific Rim become a box office success.
