Meg 2: The Trench, the upcoming Ben Wheatley-directed sequel to the 2018 Jason Statham-starring sharksploitation blockbuster The Meg, has added three new members to its cast.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Sienna Guillory, the Resident Evil actress last seen in Clifford the Big Red Dog, Skyler Samuels, who starred in Fox’s superhero show The Gifted, and Snowfall actor Sergio Peris-Mencheta have all signed on to the sequel. Additionally, Jason Statham, Cliff Curtis, Shuya Sophia Cai and Page Kennedy are reprising their roles from the first film.
While plot details are being kept under wraps, we do know Peris-Mencheta is set to play one of the film’s antagonists, a hard-edged mercenary, while Guillory is the head of an applied sciences division, and Samuels is an adventure-loving member of Statham’s submarine crew.
Ben Wheatley, who is best known for his stylish thrillers Free Fire and High-Rise, is helming the adventure thriller that is currently shooting in the U.K. Jon and Erich Hoeber wrote the script for the project that is being produced by Gravity Pictures and Di Bonaventura Pictures. Meg 2: The Trench is yet to confirm a release date.
