Why is Li Bingbing not in The Meg 2? ›

There Is No Confirmed Reason For Li Bingbing's Meg 2 Absence

However, there has been no official reason for the Li Bingbing Meg 2 absence. The only statement that has come to light is that she left for undisclosed reasons and had to be recast.

My Rating: PG-13 for intense action violence including bloody images, frightening scenes, brief strong language, and some sexual jokes. This title has: Too much violence.

Director Ben Wheatley, while expressing hope for a sequel, Warner Bros. has yet to greenlight The Meg 3. If the go-ahead is given, the release could mirror the timeline between The Meg 2's filming and release, potentially hitting screens as early as 2026.

Meg 2: The Trench

But Suyin had died sometime in 2021. Although the exact cause of her death was never stated; but it is possible that; she had died from illness or perhaps one of her dives had gone wrong. After her passing, Jonas and her brother, Jiuming assume custody of Meiying, looking after her in Suyin's absence.

Jiuming creates a bomb out of fertilizer and takes over Driscoll's helicopter with Mac. The octopus takes down the helicopter and Jiuming injures it with his bomb, attracting Haiqi, who kills the octopus. Jonas uses one of the helicopter's rotors to fatally impale the biggest Meg.

Meiying Zhang is a supporting character in the thriller/sci-fi film The Meg and the tritagonist in its 2023 sequel Meg 2: The Trench. She is the daughter of Suyin, the niece of Jiuming, granddaughter of Dr. Zhang, and the step-daughter of Jonas.

After the Trench is breached, Jonas' team has to walk on the ocean floor to find an escape pod and get back to the surface. Unfortunately, Curtis' helmet is hit. Sadly, it cracks in a race away from predators down below. This sets the stage for who dies in Meg 2.

The Meg was a female megalodon and the titular antagonist of the 2018 science fiction film, The Meg.

Jiuming tells Jonas that he has proven Haiqi would never hurt him, but Jonas argues that she didn't hurt him because the dolphins distracted her. In the end, they know that Haiqi may be pregnant and that she is now free at the ocean. They will plan to bring her back one day.

How did Meg end? ›

Jonas manages to wound the beast with his submersible and stabs it in the eye; its blood attracts a shiver of modern sharks that devour the dying meg. As Jonas reunites with the rest of the crew, a passing meg is heard, suggesting that more than two escaped the trench.

It is no surprise there is little scientific accuracy in the film, beyond the fact that megalodon is alive and well. Perhaps most bizarrely, the deep trench is now inhabited by a species of what was once an air-breathing reptile.

The moments of humor before this flip seem unintentional, such as when a character explains with grave intonation that Jonas (Jason Statham) actually can swim without a pressurized suit underwater at the bottom of a 25,000-foot trench, as long as he controls the air pressure in his sinuses — that's just Statham logic.

In one scene, Jonas blows the "air out of his sinuses" to allow him to swim in the pressurized depths of the ocean without a suit or oxygen of any kind... And it works! Of course it does.

Jaxx is ultimately taken to safety after surviving the Meg's attacks, but like many of The Meg's supporting cast, it seems one close encounter with a monstrous shark was enough for her.

Due to Lori's injury; she remains hospitalized in the medical quarters of Mana One for almost a week and does not participate in subsequent missions to locate and destroy the Meg; until the end of the film.

Haiqi is a partially domesticated female Megalodon featured in the film, Meg 2: The Trench. She is the pet meg of Jiuming Zhang and serves as an anti-hero; by playing a pivotal role in the film; defeating a prehistoric Kraken.
