Sometimes you don’t actually have to say much about what to expect from a film, and this – my friends – is definitely one of those occasions.

The Meg 2: The Trench follows on from 2018’s The Meg, which was ridiculous, perfect big screen escapism at its most far-fetched but you know, it did well and so this is why we have this new monster! Jason Statham returns, Ben Wheatley directs (who’s putting together quite the variable filmography) and we’ve got the addition of global action hero Wu Jing as well.

Dive in, well actually don’t do that but definitely sit back and take it all in, it hits cinemas on 4th August from Warner Bros:

Dive into uncharted waters with Jason Statham and global action icon Wu Jing as they lead a daring research team on an exploratory dive into the deepest depths of the ocean. Their voyage spirals into chaos when a malevolent mining operation threatens their mission and forces them into a high-stakes battle for survival. Pitted against colossal Megs and relentless environmental plunderers, our heroes must outrun, outsmart, and outswim their merciless predators in a pulse-pounding race against time. Immerse yourself in the most electrifying cinematic experience of the year with “Meg 2: The Trench” – where the depths of the ocean are matched only by the heights of sheer, unstoppable excitement! Warner Bros. Pictures and CMC Pictures present “Meg 2: The Trench,” with Statham and Jing headlining an ensemble cast that also includes Sophia Cai (“The Meg”), Page Kennedy (“The Meg”), Sergio Peris-Mencheta (“Rambo: Last Blood”), Skyler Samuels (“The Gifted”), and Cliff Curtis (“Avatar” franchise).

The Meg 2: The Trench opens on 4th August in UK cinemas
