Will Hunnam Pilot PACIFIC RIM?

The Hollywood Reporter is reporting that Charlie Hunnam, star of FX’s SONS OF ANARCHY and the underrated film GREEN STREET HOOLIGANS, is in negotiations to star in Guillermo Del Toro’s PACIFIC RIM.

Details of the role are being kept under wraps, but it can be assumed that Hunnam’s character will be piloting a mecha robot against giant monsters terrorizing the earth.

Hunnan has a couple of great Del Toro connections.  He has worked with Ron Perlman on FX’s acclaimed biker drama, SONS OF ANARCHY, and he was directed by GDT’s good friend Alfonso Cuarón in CHILDREN OF MEN.
