Every The Meg Character Missing From Meg 2 The Trench

A number of characters from 2018’s The Meg don’t return for Meg 2: The Trench. Based on Steve Alten’s 1997 novel Meg: A Novel of Deep Terror, The Meg centers on aquatic expert Jonas Taylor (Jason Statham) and a team of marine biologists exploring the Mariana Trench. To their surprise, they encounter a pre-history deep sea predator known as a Megalodon, or Meg, a species of whale-sized sharks believed to have long been extinct. With a combination of state-of-the-art effects, a tongue-in-cheek tone, and Jason Statham’s action hero chops, The Meg emerged as a massive hit in the summer of 2018.
