We first heard about Netflix's plans for a Pacific Rim anime series last October, and the streamer has now shared a first look at the show via an exciting teaser trailer.
Set in the same universe as Guillermo del Toro's original movie and its inferior sequel, Pacific Rim: The Black focuses on two teenag siblings named Taylor and Hayley who must figure out how to pilot long-decommissioned Jaegers in order to defend their home when monstrous Kaiju rise from the depths and begin to lay waste to Australia.
Pacific Rim: The Black hails from writers Craig Kyle (Thor: Ragnarok) and Greg Johnson (X-Men: Evolution), and is set to premiere on Netflix on March 4. Check out the first teaser below along with a synopsis, and let us know what you think.
There was a time when Kaiju rose from the Pacific Rim only to encounter gigantic robots, Jaegers, built to fight them back. That time has passed. Now, Australia has been overrun by Kaiju, forcing the evacuation of an entire continent. Left behind, teenage siblings Taylor and Hayley embark on a desperate search for their missing parents, teaching themselves to pilot a battered, long-abandoned Jaeger to help in their quest and give them even the slightest hope of surviving.
