The trailer can’t be too far behind now.
There was a time when it seemed that a sequel to Pacific Rim was never going to get off the ground, but that time has thankfully long since passed. Titled Pacific Rim: Uprising, the follow-up to Guillermo del Toro’s monsters vs. robots flick is headed our way next year, and star John Boyega (Star Wars: The Force Awakens) just confirmed that the six-month shoot is complete.
Taking to Twitter, Boyega broke the news:
It’s been an amazing six months ! That’s a wrap on #PacificRimUprising pic.twitter.com/p53f78skho

Look for Pacific Rim: Uprising on February 23rd, 2018.
