Pacific Rim Uprising is set ten years after the events of the first movie and fans who loved the first one will no doubt flock to see this sequel when it's released in March. Directed by Daredevil season one showrunner Steven S. DeKnight and boasting a lead star in the form of Star Wars: The Last Jedi's John Boyega, the hope is that it will improve upon the first instalment which was divisive among fans.

Now, Total Film has unveiled a very cool magazine cover alongside some official images from the movie which promise plenty of epic action when the Jaegers are called in to once again battle the Kaiju.

Interestingly, it looks like Pacific Rim Uprising will deliver some Jaeger vs. Jaeger action, a first for the franchise and a twist which is sure to leave everyone wonder what on Earth might be happening here! So, click below to check out these images and let us know your thoughts in the comments section.




What happens when two Jaegers go to war? Well, if that's a question you've wanted an answer to since watching Pacific Rim back in 2013, it appears as if this sequel is going to finally provide it!
 


John Boyega (Star Wars: The Last Jedi) is pictured here alongside fellow franchise newcomer Cailee Spaeny (Backseat) and it's said that she plays a computer expert called Amara in the movie.
 


Another atmospheric shot of John Boyega, it's hard to say for sure what's going on here but this could be the insides of one of those massive Jaegers that we're looking at. Time will obviously tell!

@JohnnyTBP -

We get it already, you are hyped xD

Can you at least vary it a little, i've seen those GIF's so often that you start noticing every little aspect such as Black Panther having two dots on his upper body, they are too low for nipples... i guess maybe they are replicating the eyes of a panther? It's an odd choice that cannot be unseen one noticing.

The last Jedi kinda soured sci fi for me, so i won't be seeing this especially with Finn at the helm of it.

Regardless of people's opinions of John Boyega as an actor... why is he producer on this movie?

It seems like he's kind of taken over the movie, he's got control over the casting choices and they are trying to treat him like he's actually going to draw in an audience despite always playing the secondary role.

Everything about this movie feels like it has been taken over by someone who does not understand it and has been made with lower quality, it has a lower budget, a cast of side characters with little star power, weaker CGI quality and overall looks and feels like a knock-off product. Sure Pacific Rim was not amazing, but it at least had style and looked good. The sequel looks bland/dull/generic.

@Scarilian - I agree, why is he a producer? But Ill be honest I really wanna see Huge Robots beating up monsters. Its like Porn in that your their not for the writing but the action lol

Agreed, the best part of Pacific Rim was the action sequences.

Though with the lower quality of CGI it's not as visually impressive as before.

If they want it to be a spectacle film and keep the budget low by casting less famous actors then they should've focused on providing awesome visuals for the fights.

@Scarilian - That won't matter. It is a known property now. It will do well, specially in China. Think of it as Power Rangers on steroids.

As long as John Boyega doesn't scream out "CHROME DOME" this movie will be fine for me.

I thought the first Pacific Rim was a fun film, more fun than it had any reason to be.


I'm willing to bet that in the Jager VS Jager battle, only 1 Jager is piloted by humans. I'm guessing a Kaiju is somehow able to take a Jager over, like how a kaiju had an EMP weapon.

This is just a more complicated attack, from a more complicated Kaiju

Also, the metal-skin on the Jager facing the camera is suspicious.
