Pacific Rim Uprising Trailer
Guillermo del Toro’sPacific Rimwas an emphatic love letter to the mecha anime and toy lines that the Mexican director grew up with, a wink to every young kid who spent their childhoods mashing together their robot and monster toys. But thankfully, the original film felt a step above that, anchored by the heartfelt and sincere performances of stars Idris Elba, Rinko Kikuchi, and Charlie Hunman. But with every trailer we see ofSteven S. DeKnight’s upcoming sequel, it looks progressively like that young kid mashing their toys together in battle. But it’s still pretty cool.
A new poster for the sci-fi sequel gives the spotlight to the team of Jaegers led by by the familiar Gipsy Danger, as they go up against the biggest Kaiju to ever terrorize the Earth.
Here is the official synopsis forPacific Rim Uprising:
