A brand new teaser for Pacific Rim: Uprising has arrived, and John Boyega is so ready to kick some Kaiju ass.

And as it turns out, you can join him – because not only have we been given a sneak peek of John's character going full Jaeger, but we've been invited to join the uprising, too.

So, are you ready to be the pinnacle of human invention or even "you, times a thousand"? This in-depth look at Jaegers should let you know.

Now that we know a little bit more about Jaegers, what about the monster horde they'll be fighting in round two? Well, there's Kaiju, Mecha and "new things", apparently.

Luckily, producer Guillermo del Toro recently let Digital Spy into a few little secrets, revealing that the mood of Uprising is going to be "very different".

"We're going a very different route [for Pacific Rim 2]," del Toro revealed. "Pacific Rim had what I used to call 'Gothic tech' – the storm, the rain, it was very tempestuous, atmospheric.

"[Pacific Rim 2] has a lot more daylight, for example. I cannot say what, but we have elements that are different," he teased.

John Boyega will be suiting up as the son of Idris Elba's war hero Stacker Pentecost for the long-awaited sci-fi sequel alongside newcomer Scott Eastwood. No Charlie Hunnam? No problem!

Pacific Rim: Uprising will storm into cinemas on February 23, 2018 in the UK and the US.
