The official Pacific Rim Twitter account posted a teaser trailer for the Pacific Rim: Uprising sequel film on Thursday.
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.
Pacific Rim: Uprising will debut in theaters on February 23, 2018.
