Meg 2: The Trench is the 2023 sequel to the 2018 film The Meg, based on Steve Alten’s novel The Trench. Directed by Ben Wheatley, the film continues the story of Jonas Taylor (played by Jason Statham) as he once again faces off against the prehistoric Megalodon, along with new underwater threats.
In Meg 2: The Trench, Jonas Taylor and a team of scientists embark on a dangerous deep-sea mission to explore even further into the Mariana Trench. However, their expedition goes horribly wrong when they encounter even more massive prehistoric creatures, including multiple Megalodons, and other sea monsters lurking in the trench. The movie ups the ante with more action, suspense, and a larger scale of threats as Jonas and his team must battle these creatures to survive.
The movie mixes elements of sci-fi, adventure, and horror, with Jason Statham’s action scenes standing out as a key feature. It delivers the over-the-top, thrilling set pieces fans of the genre expect, including underwater chases, explosive battles with giant sea creatures, and plenty of jaw-dropping shark encounters.
