Japanese entertainment news website Cinema Today began streaming a promotional video for the Pacific Rim Uprising sequel film on Monday.
The event featured a special 4DX screening of the Mazinger Z: Infinity (Gekijōban Mazinger Z / Infinity) anime film with a musical performance by Ichiro Mizuki.
John Boyega (Star Wars: The Force Awakens’ Finn) is playing the lead role in the film as the son of Idris Elba’s Stacker Pentecost character from the first Pacific Rim film.
Guillermo del Toro directed the first Pacific Rim film, but told film news website Collider that he is not directing the second film because the timing ended up conflicting with his The Shape of Water film.
