Meg 2: The Trench

Five years after the events of the first film, Jonas Taylor has been involved in fighting environmental crimes while helping Mana One explore the Mariana Trench, where the Megalodon had been found. Following the death of Jonas' wife Suyin Zhang, he has been raising her teenage daughter Meiying alongside her uncle, Suying's brother, Jiuming Zhang, who acquired his father's company with financial backing from wealthy industrialist Hillary Driscoll. Mana One has been studying an 80 ft female Meg called Haiqi who was discovered as a pup and trained by Jiuming in a reserve in Hainan. Jonas and Jiuming lead a routine submersible exploration to the Trench, where they encounter two much larger Megs, a massive alpha male and a beta male, who mate with Haiqi. The team stumbles across an illegal oceanic mining operation captained by mercenary Montes, who has a vendetta against Jonas for his imprisonment some time before. Montes' crew was hired by the corrupt Driscoll to use Mana One's access to the Trench to mine rare-earth minerals that could earn them billions. As the crew surfaces, they discover that the rupture from earlier has caused several Trench creatures, including the three Megs, lizard-like creatures known as Snappers and a giant octopus to escape to the surface. The group escapes to a nearby resort, Fun Island, but Driscoll, Montes, and the mercenaries arrive to kill Jonas' crew. As the Megs and octopus attack, Jonas kills the beta Meg and knocks Montes into the mouth of the alpha Meg to be eaten when Montes attacks him. The team celebrates their survival, realizing the possibility that Haiqi is pregnant.
