It will reportedly be based on the second novel in Steven Alten’s best-selling series of the same name, The Meg: The Trench.
It has already been six months since we’ve last heard an update on Warner Bros. Pictures’ The Meg sequel, and now lead star Jason Statham has opened up about the upcoming action sequel, confirming that he is indeed set to reprise his role as Jonas Taylor from the 2018 film.
The English action star also went on to praise director Ben Wheatley while sharing his excitement of being able to finally work with him.
The first film was directed by National Treasure‘s John Turteltaub from a screenplay by Dean Georgaris and Jon Hoeber & Erich Hoeber.
