The first was already apocalyptic instead of silly.


If the lyrics didn't tip off the theme and tone of the story, it would be. The sequel will be more of a Film/ApocalypseNow-tone war film than a silly giant robot movie.

Which explains why he won't be coming back in the new film. During the time gap between the first film and this, Herc got too old to pilot Jaegers. That, doubled with the grief of losing his son Chuck, means he probably don't want to be involved in the project anymore.

The inverse of the above. The precursors reverse-engineer human technology from the wreckages of Gipsy Danger and Striker Eureka and build humanoid biomechanical kaiju to combat human Jaegers. The two seen at 0:40 in the official trailer certainly have an oddly alien aesthetic...

Either as training exercise, a conflict between pilots of two Jaegers, or one of the bots got hijacked by a Kaiju that has the ability to control electronics (well, we already got a Kaiju with EMP ability in the first film, it's not that far fetched.]]

Guillermo expressed interest in the idea of merging jaeger and kaiju technology. The idea of drifting with a kaiju and freeing it from the hive mind isn't entirely unreasonable, and would prevent the flashy new jaegers from stealing the show completely.

Exposure to the hive mind during their Drift with the Kaiju brain in the first movie had long-term effects. Over time, the residue from their Drift grew, spread, and twisted their minds until they are now running a movement that is intended to make sure Earth is open to attack when the Kaiju Masters open a new Breach.

* The trailer does show some Jaegers fighting one another and it it sure doesn't look like a training exercise. If I were to guess i'd say that when the common enemy of the kaijus [[EnemyMine uniting us]] disappeared, humanity simply [[HumansAreWarriors did what we always do]] and started fighting each other.

* [[Franchise/DungeonsAndDragons Tarrasque]]: the second Category Five Kaiju, this would be one of the final Kaiju to fight. It looks like an Ankylosaurus but the body is crocodilian and has spikes on its tail closely resembling those of a stegosaurus. Like many other Kaiju it has six lmbs but it's non-bipedial.

The Precursos would deploy a number of them equal to the number of Jaegers to distract everyone while the other Kaijus attack different parts of the world.

* [[Film/KingKong Hanuman]]: to the surprise of everyone, this kaiju looks like a scaled-up black orangutan. However, having desterous hands mean that it can use anything around him to fight the Jaegers.
* [[Literature/{{Dune}} Leto]]: a gigantic subterranean creature that has been destroying cities for a while before the Jaegers manage to trick it to go to the surface. It looks like a green-red worm with eight eyes and a mouth that opens it four parts.

* [[Film/{{Alien}} Giger]]: looks a bit like a Xenomorph but is bigger and has two more arms. It would be difficult to fight because his blood is designed to turn into an acid more powerfull than Otachi's when exposed to oxigen and he is inmune to it.

The humans know how to cross the Rift now, so they'll do it again, this time with a larger group of Jaegers to rampage through the Precursors' dimension and take the fight to them. Thus the 'Uprising' in the title.

When Dr. Newton "Newt" Geiszler drifted with the Kaiju Brain the Precursors got more information than just where he was to kill him. After their defeat they used the memories to prepare their next attack and discovered a bit about human culture that they use for inspiration to create more Kaiju. These are a few ideas for new Kaiju:
