First Look at Charlie in ‘Pacific Rim’

The latest issue of Entertainment Weekly has revealed a new image from Guillermo del Toro’s Pacific Rim in anticipation of the film’s panel at Comic-Con this month. The pic reveals Sons of Anarchy’s Charlie Hunnam and actress Rinko Kikuchi in some pretty bad-ass suits.

I’m guessing there is a good chance Charlie may also show up in some capacity to present the clips for Pacific Rim considering he’ll be around for the Sons of Anarchy panel, which takes place Sunday, July 15th. However, don’t quote me on it, as I’m just guessing. 😛

2:30-5:00 Warner Bros. Pictures and Legendary Pictures Preview Their Upcoming Lineups—Legendary Pictures: Pacific Rim
From acclaimed filmmaker Guillermo del Toro comes Warner Bros. Pictures’ and Legendary Pictures’ epic sci-fi action adventure Pacific Rim. When legions of monstrous creatures, known as Kaiju, started rising from the sea, a war began that would take millions of lives and consume humanity’s resources for years on end. To combat the giant Kaiju, a special type of weapon was devised: massive robots, called Jaegers, which are controlled simultaneously by two pilots whose minds are locked in a neural bridge. But even the Jaegers are proving nearly defenseless in the face of the relentless Kaiju. On the verge of defeat, the forces defending mankind have no choice but to turn to two unlikely heroes — a washed up former pilot (Charlie Hunnam) and an untested trainee (Rinko Kikuchi) — who are teamed to drive a legendary but seemingly obsolete Jaeger from the past. Together, they stand as mankind’s last hope against the mounting apocalypse. Pacific Rim also stars Idris Elba, Ron Perlman, and Charlie Day.
