Now, it’s classified into the extinct Otodontidae family, which diverged from the great white’s ancestors during the Early Cretaceous.

Originally, it was considered a member of the Lamnidae family, making it a close relative of the great white shark. Its temporal range spans from the Early Miocene to the Pliocene epochs. The Megalodon lived approximately 23 to 3.6 million years ago, though some experts claim the species had a “shorter” presence on the planet. Based on its fearsome teeth, we can easily infer it was one of the largest and most powerful predators to have ever lived. Despite some well-preserved sets of teeth and vertebrae, nobody has a clue about Otodus megalodon’s proportions and body shape.

Jonathan Amos (Baby Driver, Paddington 2) is handling the editing. Production design was led by Chris Lowe (The Gray Man, No Time to Die).

Meg 2: The Trench is directed by Ben Wheatley (In the Earth, Free Fire), from a screenplay by Jon Hoeber & Erich Hoeber (The Meg, Transformers: Rise of the Beasts) and Dean Georgaris (The Meg, Lara Croft: Tomb Raider – The Cradle of Life). Jason Statham (Fast X) and Wu Jing ( The Wandering Earth) headline an ensemble cast that includes The Meg veterans Sophia Cai, Page Kennedy, and Cliff Curtis, alongside Sergio Peris-Mencheta (Rambo: Last Blood), Skyler Samuels (The Gifted), and Sienna Guillory (High-Rise). The sizable – and surprisingly cheerful – first trailer for Meg 2: The Trench debuted on May 9, 2023. The titular trench is likely made up, but there are super deep sea trenches in real life, the most famous and deepest of which is the Mariana trench in the Pacific Ocean. The actual synopsis has Jonas Taylor (Jason Statham) leading “a daring research team on an exploratory dive into the deepest depths of the ocean.” Things seemingly go fine until “a malevolent mining operation threatens their mission.” Of course, it all leads to colossal Megs and other creatures from the Trench making it to the surface and eating lots of people.

That idea could be recovered for a third movie though. For example, there’s no megalodon offspring held in captivity for crowds from all over the world to see.
