Jason Statham will be back as Jonas Taylor in director Ben Wheatley‘s (Kill List, Sightseers, A Field in England, High-Rise, Rebecca, In the Earth) upcoming sequel to big-budget shark attack horror movie The Meg, and we’ve learned today that the official shooting title is Meg 2: The Trench.
Variety confirmed production is officially underway at the Warner Bros.-owned Leavesden Studios outside London, where the Harry Potter and Batman franchises were also shot.
Wheatley takes the reins from Jon Turteltaub who directed the first installment of the franchise, which took $530 million worldwide.
Turteltaub’s The Meg was based on Steve Alten’s Meg novels with Jason Statham starring as heroic shark-slayer Jonas Taylor, part of a group of scientists exploring the Mariana Trench who encounter the largest marine predator that has ever existed – the Megalodon. Bingbing Li also returns in Meg 2: The Trench.
