In spite of multiple returning favorites, not everyone is back for Meg 2: The Trench. Here's a rundown of every character missing from the sequel.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT 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 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.
The Meg's 2023 follow-up, Meg 2: The Trench follows the story of Alten's 1999 sequel known The Trench, and follows Jonas and the research team as they discover not one, but three more Megs in the depths of the ocean. Meg 2 is as heavy on shark-based terror and action as its predecessor, with new characters joining Jonas to battle the Megs, including Chinese martial arts star Wu Jing as Jiuming Zhang, as well as a few returning favorites from the first movie.
3 Lori Jonas Taylor's family history plays into the story of The Meg, with his ex-wife Lori appearing in the movie. Lori is a deep sea explorer who co-pilots the submersible Mana One, which explores the Mariana Trench as part of the Manz's research program. Despite the Meg's devastating attacks upon Mana One in which numerous members of its crew are killed, Lori survives the vicious man-eating attacks of the giant shark.
2 Jaxx Another of Jonas's close allies against the Meg is Jaxx , an engineer working aboard the Manz. Jaxx has one of the closest and most memorable escapes from the Meg in the movie, being badly wounded and nearly eaten by the colossal shark. She only survived due to the efforts of Dr. Heller , who saved her life, albeit at the cost of his own.
1 5 The Meg Characters Who Died Who Aren't In Meg 2 Aside from the characters who do survive to the ending of The Meg, the film would also see the Meg chow down on a substantial portion of the cast, precluding them from returning for Meg 2. One of the prehistoric shark's victims was the aforementioned Dr. Heller, an old colleague of Jonas' who dies a hero's death in the film.
