Out of all of the many frightening sea creatures, sharks have always been one of the more reliable obstacles for great horror movies. However, director Jon Turtletaub’s campy adaptation of Steve Alten’s novel, The Meg, changed things up, putting a much, much larger creature on the big screen: the prehistoric megalodon. You know what is scarier than just one meg? Three of them, which is what you will find in Meg 2: The Trench.
This follow-up to the 2018 blockbuster — helmed this time by Ben Wheatley — does not just feature multiple gargantuan beasts to make you afraid to go in the water, but also a few human characters who are played by newcomers to the franchise. There are also plenty of returning players, such as Jason Statham, who is reprising his heroic lead role from the original. He is where we shall start with our breakdown of the Meg 2: The Trench cast and where else you may recognize them from.
