Several new posters have been unveiled for the Jason Statham film Meg 2: The Trench, which is set to reach theatres next month
Meg 2: The Trench, director Ben Wheatley’s sequel to Jon Turteltaub’s 2018 “Jason Statham vs. a giant shark” movie The Meg (watch it at THIS LINK), is set to reach theatres on August 4th – and with that date right around the corner, Warner Bros. has unveiled a new poster for the film… one that features multiple sea creatures lurking beneath unsuspecting swimmers. You can see it at the bottom of the article. These films are inspired by a series of novels written by Steve Alten.
Jason Statham is back in the lead as rescue diver Jonas Taylor and is joined in the cast of the sequel by returning co-stars Cliff Curtis, Shuya Sophia Cai, and Page Kennedy, as well as Sienna Guillory (Resident Evil: Apocalypse), Skyler Samuels (
The Gifted
), Sergio Peris-Mencheta (Rambo: Last Blood), and Wu Jing (Wolf Warrior II). Li Bingbing isn’t reprising the role of oceanographer Suyin in this movie, despite the fact that Shuya Sophia Cai’s character Meiying is the young daughter of Suyin.Wheatley told Collider last year that he chose to direct Meg 2 because he “really loved” the first film. “I tend to go with my gut instinct, so if I like something that my agent suggests, I’ll just do it. This came up, and I said, “Oh, Christ! I’ll do it! That’s brilliant!’“
Speaking with ComicBook.com, Wheatley said he was also interested in the project because “it’s an opportunity to do action on such an insanely large scale, that it’s just unbelievable. This is incredible. After doing Free fire which I thought was all my Christmases at once in terms action, this just seems unbelievable. And just doing the storyboards for it, just thinking and going, ‘Oh,’ it’s just … I feel a heavy responsibility for it, to make sure that it kind of delivers to all the big shark fans out there.“Wheatley’s previous credits include Down Terrace, Kill List, Sightseers, A Field in England, High-Rise, Free Fire, Rebecca,
and In the Earth.Meg 2: The Trench has been rated PG-13 for
action/violence, some bloody images, language and brief suggestive material.Are you looking forward to Meg 2: The Trench? Will you be seeing the movie in the cinema next month? Let us know by leaving a comment below – and while you’re scrolling down, check out this new poster:
