Scott Eastwood’s steadily been growing a fan base in genre films, appearing in 2016’s Suicide Squad and this year’s Pacific Rim: Uprising.

Uprising is the sequel to the 2015 breakout hit Pacific Rim. It’s set a decade after the events of the first film, which saw humanity band together to defeat the monstrous kaiju.

The kaiju return with a vengeance and new heroes are called into action. Jake Pentecost (John Boyega) grudgingly returns to the Pan Pacific Defense Corp, where he runs into his former co-pilot Nate Lambert (Scott Eastwood).

There’s no love lost between the two; Nate resents that Jake left the program instead of building it, and Jake feels pressured to live up to the legacy that his father — legendary pilot Stacker Pentecost — left.

In this exclusive clip, Nate and Jake have a tense exchange. Will they be able to get over their differences and history to deal with the kaiju threat?

Pacific Rim: Uprising (read our review here) lands on 4K Ultra HD, 3D Blu-rayTM, Blu-rayTM, DVD and On Demand on June 19, 2018.
