AMC Theaters has just debuted a new IMAX trailer for Steven S. DeKnight's Pacific Rim Uprising, and it features quite a bit of previously unseen from the upcoming sequel.
In addition to several exciting shots of Jaegers taking on a monstrous new threat that's believed to be a category 6 Kaiju, we get a much better glimpse of a couple of mechs coming to blows. There are also new glimpses of returning characters Mako Mori (Rinko Kikuchi) and Dr. Newton (Charlie Day).
Check out the trailer below, and let us know if you're looking forward to this one in the usual place.
John Boyega 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.
Pacific Rim Uprising also stars John Boyega, Scott Eastwood, Jing Tian, Cailee Spaeny, and Adria Arjona, and is set to hit theaters on March 23.
