February 24, 2022

As production continues on The Meg 2: The Trench in the U.K., The Hollywood Reporter brings word that Warner Bros Pictures has enlisted three new cast members to join Jason Statham in the upcoming action thriller sequel.

Sienna Guillory (Resident Evil films), Skyler Samuels (The Gifted), and Snowfall actor Sergio Peris-Mencheta have officially been cast. In addition, it has also been confirmed that Cliff Curtis, Shuya Sophia Cai, and Page Kennedy are set to reprise their respective roles as Mac, Meiying, and DJ from the 2018 film.

Guillory is set to play the head of an applied sciences division, while Samuels will be part of Statham’s submarine crew. As for Peris-Mencheta, he will be portraying a hard-edged mercenary, who is one of the sequel’s antagonists.

The Meg 2: The Trench is being directed by Ben Wheatley (High-Rise) from a screenplay written by Jon and Erich Hoeber, based on the second novel in Steven Alten’s best-selling series of the same name.

The sequel is once again being produced by Lorenzo di Bonaventura and Belle Avery, with Catherine Ying, Li Ruigang, E. Bennett Walsh, Gerald Molen, and Randy Greenberg set as executive producers.

The 2018 film centered around the reemergence of a massive deep-sea creature called the Megalodon, a pre-historic 75-foot-long shark that was previously thought to be extinct. Even though it received mixed reviews from critics, it still became a box office success with a worldwide gross of over $530 million.
