Giant robots, as well as kaiju monsters, play a major part in the source material, and while The Iron Giant isn’t one of the key players in the book, it appears he will be taking one of those positions in the movie.
The Iron Giant stands tall and proud in an alien backdrop.
The biggest single moment in the new trailer actually belongs to an animated film from the late 1990s.
Honestly, most people aren’t going to have any idea what Leopardon was anyway.
