The first official image from Pacific Rim showed off Idris Elba, and now we have a look at co-stars Charlie Hunnam and Rinko Kikuchi. The film centers on giant robots known as “Jaegers” fighting off giant monsters called “Kaiju”. Hunnam and Kikuchi play a washed-up pilot and untested trainee, respectively. The duo must use a seemingly obsolete Jaeger to stand as mankind’s last hope against the Kaiju. As you can see, Hunnam and Kikuchi are wearing the same flight suits as Elba’s character, but I have no idea what’s going on with the codpiece on Hunnam’s outfit. I guess if a giant monster hits you in the balls, you want to be well protected.

Hit the jump to check out the image. The film also stars Max Martini, Rob Kazinsky, Clifton Collins Jr., and Diego Klattenhoff. Pacific Rim opens July 12, 2013.
