Pacific Rim Uprising (2018)
Ending / spoiler
Directed by: Steven S. DeKnight
Starring: Scott Eastwood, John Boyega, Adria Arjona, Tian Jing
Jake and Amara weld a rocket to Gypsy Danger's hand and launch into space. They use the momentum of reentry and the weight of the Jaeger to dive bomb the super Kaiju climbing up Mount Fuji, ejecting just in time in Scrapper that the impact kills the Kaiju. This stops Dr. Newton's plan and he's arrested. The world is safe.... for now. The film ends with Dr. Newton being interrogated and revealing there's more to come.

Jake Pentecost: Fire everything you've got.
Question: If Kaiju can be killed by dropping something heavy on them from orbit, why spend all that time and effort on Jaegers when a satellite defence system armed with tungsten smart rods would have done the job?

Answer: Each new Kaiju is adapted differently, often based upon what has killed previous Kaiju. This is why the Jaegers have such varied designs. If they relied upon a satellite firings rods from space, there would be no defence when a new generation of Kaiju arrived, adapted to this tactic. Additionally, producing a sufficient number of satellites to cover the entire planet would be a huge task, whereas the Jaeger technology already exists.
