Universal Pictures will be revealing the new trailer for the movie on Wednesday, Jan. 24, at 8 a.m. PT. If it's anything like the previous trailer, we can expect even more action featuring the many different Jaegers -- the flagship, the Gypsy Avenger, the Bracer Phoenix, the Saber Athena, the Titan Redeemer, the Guardian Bravo, the Scrapper, and so on. Also, count on giant monsters too...Take a look at the new poster right here:The sequel is set about a decade after the original, and features a mostly new main cast in John Boyega, Scott Eastwood and Cailee Spaeny, with Charlie Day, Burn Gorman and Rinko Kikuchi returning from the first movie. Steven S. DeKnight (Spartacus, Daredevil) takes on directing duties this time out.The film isn't going to be all about the action, though. When IGN visited the set of the film last year, John Boyega told us that character complexity was also key. “That's very, very important," he said, "because the great, grand robots in the big fights are a visual spectacle, but at the same time, you need the characters to really feel those scenes [...] for those scenes to really hit you and for you to be invested.”Be sure to check back tomorrow for the new trailer and an exclusive image from the film as part of our IGN First spotlight series.Pacific Rim Uprising will be released on March 23, 2018.
