Do you have what it takes to be one “the biggest heroes ever to walk the Earth?” That’s what the all new, high-octane teaser for Pacific Rim: Uprising, the long awaited sequel to Guillermo Del Toro‘s 2013 robot/monster action movie wants to know. Because they’re looking for people willing to become the “most heroic version of ourselves” by joining the Jaeger uprising.
This teaser trailer doesn’t offer much insight in the way of plot, but for what it lacks in actual film footage it more than makes up for in style and tone, like an advertisement for a futuristic, robot-fighting task force. And despite not showing any clips from the movie, we do get to see star John Boyega suited up and ready for battle.
I don’t know about you, but I’m ready to fight some Kaiju, and I know just the program to sign up for.
“A new generation of Jaeger Pilots will stand tall for all humanity. What is a Jaeger? It’s you, times a thousand. Witness the next evolution of human invention, with the unveiling of the Pan Pacific Defense Corps Mark VI Jaeger Program.”
They also say to visit GOJAEGER.COM “to discover if you have what it takes.”
Pacific Rim: Uprising, directed by Steven S. DeKnight, also stars Scott Eastwood, Tian Jing, as well as Charlie Day, and Rinko Kikuchi from the original. It comes to theaters in 2018.
