Legendary and Universal have revealed the first synopsis for Pacific Rim: Uprising ahead of NYCC where there will be a panel with cast members and new trailer revealed. The synopsis does give some plot details we didn't know previously. Check out the synopsis below, warning possible minor spoilers.
The globe-spanning conflict between otherworldly monsters of mass destruction and the human-piloted super-machines built to vanquish them was only a prelude to the all-out assault on humanity in Pacific Rim Uprising. John Boyega (Star Wars: The Force Awakens) stars as the rebellious Jake Pentecost, a once-promising Jaeger pilot whose legendary father gave his life to secure humanity’s victory against the monstrous “Kaiju.” Jake has since abandoned his training only to become caught up in a criminal underworld. But when an even more unstoppable threat is unleashed to tear through our cities and bring the world to its knees, he is given one last chance to live up to his father’s legacy by his estranged sister, Mako Mori (Rinko Kikuchi)—who is leading a brave new generation of pilots that have grown up in the shadow of war. As they seek justice for the fallen, their only hope is to unite together in a global uprising against the forces of extinction. Jake is joined by gifted rival pilot Lambert (The Fate of the Furious’ Scott Eastwood) and 15-year-old Jaeger hacker Amara (newcomer Cailee Spaeny), as the heroes of the PPDC become the only family he has left. Rising up to become the most powerful defense force to ever walk the earth, they will set course for a spectacular all-new adventure on a towering scale. Pacific Rim Uprising is directed by Steven S. DeKnight (Netflix’s Daredevil, STARZ’s Spartacus) and also stars Jing Tian, Burn Gorman, Adria Arjona and Charlie Day.

Where: NYCC, at The Theater at Madison Square Garden Date & Time: October 06, 2017, 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM The new Pacific Rim Uprising site gojaeger.com has gone live and has given us some new info including Jaeger descriptions, a short movie synopsis, and a teaser trailer/recruitment video. Check out all below including a new blueprint for jaeger Guardian Bravo. Jaeger Descriptions GIPSY AVENGER – Gipsy Avenger honors the heroic legacy of her namesake as the flagship leader of the Mark VI fleet. More than just a Jaeger, she is a symbol of hope to millions. BRACER PHOENIX – A Mark V brute that can still run with the VI’s, Bracer Phoenix shoots from the chest, with a centrifugal vortex cannon that is as spectacular as it is deadly. SABER ATHENA – The sleekest and most elegant Jaeger ever created, Saber Athena is the fastest in the fleet, wielding twin blades in hyper-acrobatic combat. TITAN REDEEMER – Built for brute force and armed with a seismic morningstar, Titan Redeemer is the walking wrecking ball of the new fleet. GUARDIAN BRAVO – Designed for combat at range, Guardian Bravo wields the Elec-16 Arc Whip: a proto-metallic successor to the chainsword, and brings a new sophistication to the chainsword’s whiplash move. Synopsis “It’s been ten years since The Battle of the Breach and the oceans are still, but restless. Vindicated by the victory at the Breach, the Jaeger program has evolved into the most powerful global defense force in human history. The PPDC now calls upon the best and brightest to rise up and become the next generation of heroes. When the Kaiju threat returns, we will be ready.” We know that Pacific Rim: Uprising filming is well under way now we have the first look at the marketing for the film. The lastest issue of License! Global reveals hints at the film's marketing and new Jaegers. The images (the one above in particular) and an article with James Ngo the senior vice president of franchise marketing for Legendary points out they want to extend their brands beyond consumer products. The image above seems to point out there will be announcements regarding Pacific Rim: Uprising at Toy Fair, and the article suggest they will be going into gaming and vitual reality mainly with Pacific Rim: Uprising now but also with Godzilla 2. Check out the full article below.
Above and below are some Pacific Rim: Uprising set photos by Tim Pruyn via Instagram. They include a military vehicle and a few set pics. Yesterday we posted pics of Scott Eastwood on set on our Facebook page as well. It is scheduled to open Feb 23, 2018.
The set photo below posted by Dan Mindel, a cinematographer, shows a cast list that includes Rinko Kikuchi (Mako Mori), Charles Day and Burn Gorman (Newt and Gottlieb), and there is other new name there as well, Karl Urban. This is great news, if true, to have some of the original cast back and another big name like Urban.
