Now, Boyega is helping drum up anticipation himself through social media with an illustration of a Jaeger in action.
That followup, Pacific Rim: Uprising, is currently on track for a 2018 premiere and is in the middle of principal photography.
One of the biggest selling points for Uprising is the presence of star John Boyega, who broke out in a major way in 2015 with Star Wars: The Force Awakens.
It pretty much goes without saying that the Pacific Rim sequel will be a showcase for more epic fight sequences that will hopefully leave moviegoers in awe.
