The marketing beast seems to be in full stomping mode for Pacific Rim Uprising, and we don’t mind one bit. For one, the new trailer gives us a better glimpse of the four major Jaegers in action. Although everything starts of smoothly for our team of fighting robots, the additional protective layer of creatures on one of the Kaiju seems to up the ante. Never mind the fact that the Kaiju this time round are almost double the size and find it quite easy to use the Jaegers to mop the floor.

We know that somehow the Kaiju were summoned back to Earth and that there’s a rogue Jaeger involved in the sports, pointing to the fact that an evil corporation might be lurking in the wings.

They need to deal with Jake Pentecost (John Boyega, with his British accent this time around ala Attack the Block) teamed up with Nate Lambert (Scott Eastwood, Texas Chainsaw 3D), who have been kitted with some awesome electronic whips. Big robots, massive monsters and major destruction, plus of course Dr. Newton Geiszler (Charlie Day) back in on the action – what’s not to like?

Hit play below to see the team of Jaegers in action. Pacific Rim Uprising drops 23 March 2018 in South Africa.
