Charlie Hunnam's Codpiece Conceals His Feelings For Rinko Kikuchi In New PACIFIC RIM Image

"Hi, I'm Charlie and I drive a giant robot. Look how manly I am."

Not to be out done by the freshly released shot of Matt Damon in Neill Blomkamp's Elysium, Guillermo Del Toro's Pacific Rim has also released a new shot of the film in the current edition of EW. This one features stars Charlie Hunnam and Rinko Kikuchi decked out in their robot-piloting suits. Charlie seems rather proud of himself.

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.
With the San Diego Comic-Con right around the corner it seems safe to say we'll be seeing more soon.
