With Jason Statham once again in the forefront of the fight against ancient sea monsters, there is increasing conjecture that The Meg 3 may be in development. Fans have been anxiously awaiting word on whether the franchise will venture farther into shark-infested seas after the success of The Meg (2018) and its follow-up Meg 2: The Trench (2023).

While there’s no official plot confirmation, rumors suggest that the third installment could explore the Mariana Trench’s hidden ecosystem even further, introducing an even deadlier species of Megalodon—or perhaps something even bigger. With the previous films hinting at the possibility of other prehistoric creatures lurking in the depths, The Meg 3 could expand on the idea of an undiscovered underwater world filled with ancient threats.

Some theories even suggest that The Meg 3 might not be confined to the ocean. Could a megalodon—or another prehistoric creature—somehow make its way to the surface, causing chaos on a massive scale?
