20 Most Hotly Anticipated Movie Scenes Of 2018

18. The Stath Versus The Shark - The Meg

There's definitely a slight whiff of the SyFy Movie about forthcoming monster shark movie The Meg, and most of the time, this sort of project would end up dropped into a home video release quietly, where it might find some cult appreciation. But The Meg is another creature entirely and part of that comes down to the presence of Jason Statham - former Olympic diver turned action hero darling.

And while it's definitely not going to be a fair fight (since the shark is 400 foot long and he's just a slightly below average height human), seeing him playing Quint to this new Mega-Bruce is enough of a draw to put fans on cinema seats. And even if the film proves to be a silly B-Movie mess, if it can deliver on the final stand-off (swim-off?) between the pair, we'll all have something meaty to chew on.
