The Meg was a monster of a hit back in the summer of 2018, grossing over half a billion dollars worldwide off a reported budget of just $130 million.

With numbers like that, a sequel was inevitable, and though it took a frustratingly long time to come together, Jason Statham is back to batter more giant sharks in The Meg 2: The Trench, which is currently slated for August 2023.

The movie began filming earlier this year under the direction of Ben Wheatley, whose proven ability to meld black comedy with serious thrills will no doubt come in handy on a film that needs to be balls-to-the-wall entertaining, but scary enough that those overgrown fishies still feel like a threat.

And yes, that's "fishies" plural, because while the plot of the film hasn't yet been detailed, the book series wheeled out a few more enormous creatures for our heroes to deal with as it progressed. Expect Mr. Statham to have his hands full, but as ever, expect him to handle it in his typically gruff, no-nonsense manner.
