Statham returns to his role from the original film, portraying Taylor, an experienced deep-sea diver assigned the mission of confronting a pack of man-eating megalodon sharks. He’s joined by an impressive Chinese cast, as a result of the film’s co-production between China and the United States, featuring the likes of Wu Jing, Shuya Sophia Cai, and more.
However, the mission takes a perilous turn when a hostile mining explosion triggers the emergence of various nightmarish sea creatures from the ocean’s depths. Joining Statham in the cast are Page Kennedy, Sergio Peris-Mencheta, Cliff Curtis, Skylar Samuels, and Sienna Guillory. “Meg 2” was directed by Ben Wheatley and adapted from a screenplay penned by Jon Hoeber, Erich Hoeber, and Dean Georgaris, itself inspired by Steve Alten’s 1999 novel, “The Trench”.
