A new poster for MEG 2: The Trench shows three massive Megalodons being followed by an ominous presence.
With the release of MEG:2 The Trench just two weeks away, Warner Bros is busy pouring fuel into the hype train. After sharing a handful of fantastic TV spots that delivered tons of new footage, the studio has released a brand new poster for the upcoming sequel. And as expected, a trio of Megalodons is surfacing for another bite. But as we near the foot of the glossy one-sheet, an ominous presence is emerging from the depths. And it has its sights set on the family of mega sharks!
But don’t take my word for it. Swim down and explore the new poster for yourself.
THE CAST
Aside from Jason Statham, the sequel brings back Cliff Curtis as Jonas’s close friend Max. And Page Kennedy returns as DJ. Sadly, there is no news on whether Ruby Rose will be returning as Jaxx. But there are a handful of newcomers to bring the ship home. Jing Wu joins the cast, alongside Skyler Samuels and Sienna Guillory who will all play pivotal roles. And thankfully, Harry Gregson-Williams returns to compose the score to maintain the continuity.
The movie is directed by Ben Wheatley, who is a surprise appointment. Wheatley is renowned as an Indie filmmaker, so having him lead a summer popcorn blockbuster has raised a few eyebrows. However, his work on Free Fire was a triumph, and found the perfect balance between action and humor. So on the surface, the appointment seems like the perfect fit.
Whether the movie can live up to the expectation remains to be seen. But I for one cannot wait to enjoy the journey.
MEG 2: The Trench swims into UK cinemas on August 4th.
