The new Jaeger Pilot Suit that John Boyega wears is composed of new materials. Compared to the full-on armored suit used in the first film, Boyega and other pilots are wearing the Jaeger Pilot Suit made in spandex suit, with armor plating design as the Comic Book confirmed.

Guillermo Del Toro talked about the hiring of John Boyega, citing that he thinks Boyega is the best man for the job of the main role.
