International Posters For 'MEG 2: THE TRENCH' Tease Sequel's New Prehistoric Creatures
Meg 2: The Trench will be swimming to theaters on August 4, 2023, and the recent trailer for Meg 2: The Trench revealed that Jason Statham will be facing off against more than just a trio of giant sharks, and these international posters spotlight those new prehistoric threats.
The footage featured Jason Statham's rescue diver turned giant fish-killer Jonas Taylor and his crew facing multiple Megs, but it also hinted at some new prehistoric threats, and they're spotlighted here.
One of the new beasts is clearly a giant octopus or squid, and while the other creature is mostly obscured, it's believed to be a Kronosaurus.
