After some shots of a few Jaegers showing off their moves, the video concludes with our first look at John Boyega’s character, Jake Pentecost, the son of Idris Elba’s Stacker Pentecost, in his Jaeger operating suit, followed by a lineup of seven of the colossal machines geared for battle.
If you join the Jaeger program, you can pilot a machine that’s “you x 1000” that has “a heart that burns as bright as the sun.”
Rather than take the traditional teaser trailer approach and show off a few scenes that highlight the movie’s upcoming action, but don’t reveal too much about the plot, Pacific Rim: Uprising’s first preview takes the form of a recruitment video.
Reminding folks how those who operated the Jaegers were the heroes we needed all those years ago, the Jaegers are presented as the “pinnacle of human invention,” and the innovation didn’t stop once the Kaiju were vanquished.
