After leaving the director of the first film, Gilmour del Toro, "Pacific Rim 2" plummeted at the box office and word of mouth. Since then, although there has been news of sporadic spin-offs in the Pacific Rim series, the sequel has not waited for Toro's return.
During this time, the Hollywood ghost director has not been idle, but has quietly created a new fantasy universe in many works.
Now, the universe's Avengers movie is coming, and the Troll Hunter: Rise of the Titans, created by DreamWorks, has just released an official trailer!

The story of Troll Hunter takes place in a small town called Arcadia, which seems ordinary, but it is located in the center of the magical and mysterious worlds, where strange creatures from various worlds fight and fight.
The protagonist and his party look like raw faces to us, but they are actually the protagonists in 6 popular anime series such as "Troll Hunter", "Three Gorges Outside the Sky", and "The Witch", including aliens who can build mechs, wizards from the magical realm, and troll hunters from the underground troll world.
They have gradually completed the assembly in the previous series, and this movie is their most crucial battle. The above-mentioned dramas have a very good reputation abroad and at home, and the popularity of foreign countries is not low, but few people in China know about it.
I don't know whether this "Reunion" style assembly movie can bring fire to this series in China, after all, there are many people who entered marvel because of "Reunion".
The various different forms of trolls in the trailer are also one of the highlights, which is easily reminiscent of Toro's famous work "Pacific Rim", especially a few oppressive low-camera shots. In this animated film, Although Toro did not serve as a director but only as an executive producer, he did not have to worry at all.
Because the 6 plays laid out before this film were all directed and written by him, the whole world of this "Arcadia Trilogy" was shaped by him. So he certainly doesn't have to doubt his participation in the film, it's not as simple as just hanging a name.
The multi-director setting of this film, with him as a more advanced producer to coordinate, may be able to better grasp the style of the film, at least in this trailer, the director's unique "gyro flavor" is very positive.
"Troll Hunter: Rise of the Titans" will be broadcast on Netflix on July 21, 2021, and interested friends should not miss it.
