PACIFIC RIM UPRISING: The Jaegars Rise Up On These War Ready New Posters & Banners
Ahead of next week's theatrical release date, Universal Pictures nd Legendary Pictures have released a ton of new character posters and banners for Pacific Rim Uprising. Come take a look!
Pacific Rim Uprising isn't expected to make much of a dent at the domestic box office when it opens on March 22nd, with recent projections putting its opening in the low $20 million range (almost half of Power Rangers' $40.3M opening in 2017), which would be quite disappointing considering the film's massive $150 million budget. However, there's still an opportunity for the film to be a success if it performs similarly to its 2013 predecessor, which collected over three-quarters of its $411 million worldwide haul from international territories.
The Steven S. DeKnight-directed sequel hits theaters on March 23rd and features an all-new star cast, which now includes John Boyega (Star Wars: The Last Jedi), Scott Eastwood (The Fate of the Furious), Cailee Spaeny (Bad Times at the El Royale), Charlie Day (It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia), Burn Gorman (Game of Thrones), Jing Tian (Kong: Skull Island), Adria Arjona (True Detective), and Academy Award-nominee Rinko Kikuchi (Babel).
Following all of those action-packed new hi-resolution promotional stills from yesterday, we also have a ton of new Pacific Rim Uprising posters and banners for you to enjoy. Check them all out below:

This is the official IMAX poster and it's a pretty neat effort as the Jaeger mech known as Gipsy Avenger is pictured taking down one of the film's many monstrous Kaijus. This mech is piloted Jake Pentecost (John Boyega) and his rival-turned-friend Nate Lambert (Scott Eastwood).
All four gigantic Jaeger mechs stand united on this new banner poster. According to the official descriptions, the mechs are known as (from left-to-right) Saber Athena, Bracer Phoenix, Gipsy Avenger, and Guardian Bravo.
This is the film's most familiar-looking Jaeger mech, the Gipsy Avenger, which gets its name from the first film's Gipsy Danger, which was piloted by Raleigh Becket (Charlie Hunnam) and Mako Mori (Rinko Kikuchi). With Becket out of the picture, the Gipsy Avenger is piloted by Jake Pentecost (John Boyega) and Nate Lambert (Scott Eastwood).
Meet the Saber Athena, a Mark-7 Jaeger mech, which technically makes it the most technologically advanced Jaeger of the four. The bright orange Jaeger seems to wield twin blades that likely come in handy when battling Kaiju monsters. It's not yet known who pilots this mech.
Meet the Guardian Bravo, a Mark-6 Jaeger mech. The red Jaeger is seen with its trademark whip, which will hopefully collect a few Kaiju heads by the end of the film's 110-minute runtime. It is not yet known who pilots this mech.
Meet the Bracer Phoenix, a Mark-5 Jaeger mech that looks a lot more destructive than the other three combined. Cadets Amara (Cailee Spaeny), Vik (Ivanna Sakhno), and Jinhai (Wesley Wong) co-pilot this beast.
Another cool one-sheet featuring the Gipsy Avenger, the mech we'll likely being seeing the most of throughout the course of the film as Jake Pentecost (John Boyega) and Nate Lambert (Scott Eastwood) work to eliminate the Kaiju threat.
Here's a second one-sheet with the Guardian Bravo looking ready for action. Unfortunately, we don't really know who's piloting this mech, but it's probably safe to assume we'll soon find out.
Here's another closer look at the Bracer Phoenix, which requires three pilots, likely due to those machine guns attached to its waist. Cadets Amara (Cailee Spaeny), Vik (Ivanna Sakhno), and Jinhai (Wesley Wong) co-pilot this beast.
While we don't know who pilots this Jaeger mech, the posters and photos do seemingly tease that it's the most nimble of the bunch, which should come in handy when it goes to war against the Kaijus.
This international poster with the Gipsy Avenger sees the giant Jaeger take a page out of Optimus Prime's book as it takes a knee while death and destruction surround it. Jake Pentecost (John Boyega) and Nate Lamberg (Scott Eastwood) will have their hands full with the Kaiju monsters.
The Gipsy Avenger, Bracer Phoenix, Guardian Bravo, and Saber Athena go to war with the Kaiju monsters. This is the only beast we've seen so far, but the movie should likely feature another couple monsters for the Jaegers to battle.
Here's a promotional poster with the Gipsy Avenger as it prepares for the fight of its life. Jake Pentecost (John Boyega) and Nate Lambert (Scott Eastwood) pilot this mech.
Here's another cool promotional poster, this time spotlighting the Guardian Bravo. The pilots remain unknown, but we do get a closer look at the mech's head.
Here's a promotional poster with the Bracer Phoenix, which has three co-pilots: cadets Amara (Cailee Spaeny), Vik (Ivanna Sakhno), and Jinhai (Wesley Wong). Considering the female lead will be in this mech, we can probably safely assume that this Jaeger will get a significant amount of screentime.
Another intense international poster with the film's three American leads. John Boyega stars as Jake Pentecost, Scott Eastwood is Nate Lambert, and newcomer Cailee Spaeny is Amara Namani. The Gipsy Avenger, Bracer Phoenix, and Saber Athena stand in the background.
An early teaser poster with the Gipsy Phoenix gearing up for battle. The movie is due out in theaters worldwide on March 23rd, including China.
This is an early character poster with John Boyega as Jake Pentecost, the son of Idris Elba's Stacker Pentecost, who died in the first film while saving the world. The Star Wars star tackles his first major action role since the release of The Last Jedi in December.
After a supporting appearance in The Fate of the Furious, Scott Eastwood takes on more of a co-leading role here. He stars as Nate Lambert, the ace of the jaeger fleet, who will join forces with Jake Pentecost (John Boyege) to pilot the Gipsy Avenger.
This is the film's official one-sheet, which we actually saw a while back in low-resolution. It's now been released in hi-res as Gipsy Avenger, Saber Athena, Bracer Phoenix, and Guardian Bravo stand war ready.
John Boyega (Star Wars: The Force Awakens) stars as the rebellious Jake Pentecost, a once-promising Jaeger pilot whose legendary father gave his life to secure humanity's victory against the monstrous "Kaiju." Jake has since abandoned his training only to become caught up in a criminal underworld. But when an even more unstoppable threat is unleashed to tear through our cities and bring the world to its knees, he is given one last chance to live up to his father's legacy by his estranged sister, Mako Mori (Rinko Kikuchi)—who is leading a brave new generation of pilots that have grown up in the shadow of war. As they seek justice for the fallen, their only hope is to unite together in a global uprising against the forces of extinction.
Jake is joined by gifted rival pilot Lambert (The Fate of the Furious' Scott Eastwood) and 15-year-old Jaeger hacker Amara (newcomer Cailee Spaeny), as the heroes of the PPDC become the only family he has left. Rising up to become the most powerful defense force to ever walk the earth, they will set course for a spectacular all-new adventure on a towering scale.
