In 2013, Pacific Rim was a modest success in the United States, grossing $101.8 million at the domestic box office.
That film, Pacific Rim: Uprising, is scheduled for release in February 2018 and is currently in production.
Legendary Pictures (the production company behind Pacific Rim) is releasing fellow monster movie Kong: Skull Island next month, and that could be the opportune time to unveil a brief teaser trailer.
That Uprising was able to attract both while they were in high-demand speaks volumes, hopefully meaning the sequel will be thrilling and compelling.
