Meg 3: Primal Waters

Meg 3: Primal Waters is a 2025 science fiction action shark-horror film directed by returning director Ben Wheatley based on Steve Alten's 2004 novel Meg: Primal Waters, but it also takes some inspiration from the previous book, The Trench.

Synopsis
Taking place a couple years after the events of Meg 2: The Trench, former rescue diver Jonas Taylor (Jason Statham) is now in retirement, raising his ever-growing, and rebellious teenage stepdaughter Meiying Zhang (Shuya Sophia Cai). Experiencing a midlife crisis, Jonas takes on a contract of being the consultant for a reality-TV show being set in the South Pacific Ocean. However, what isn't known is that the area has been recently plagued by a series of vessels gone missing, and once again, Jonas is forced out of retirement in order to deal with the threat of Megalodons... and a new prehistoric threat, which exceeds the Megalodon in age...
