The Meg 3 (2025) promises to be the biggest, most action-packed installment yet in the Meg franchise, continuing the thrilling saga of humanity’s battle against the terrifying prehistoric megalodon sharks. Directed by Ben Wheatley, the third film dives even deeper into the mysterious and treacherous depths of the ocean, bringing back fan-favorite Jonas Taylor (Jason Statham) and introducing new characters as they face even deadlier threats from the abyss.
The trailer begins with an eerie calm over the ocean’s surface, a contrast to the terrifying events that are about to unfold. A research vessel is shown in the middle of the Pacific, sending a submersible to explore the Mariana Trench once again. As the camera dives deeper into the dark waters, tension builds with haunting music and ominous sounds of underwater creatures.
A voiceover from Jonas Taylor warns: “We thought we’d seen the worst of them… but we were wrong.”
Suddenly, the calm is shattered by a massive splash, and the screen cuts to a group of terrified scientists frantically yelling over their radios. Quick flashes of massive dorsal fins cutting through the water, violent underwater explosions, and a glimpse of a megalodon’s massive jaws follow in rapid succession. This time, there’s more than one.
The trailer reveals that new, even larger and more aggressive megalodons have been discovered, and they aren’t alone. The team soon learns that there are several of these ancient predators, each one more terrifying and intelligent than the last. Jonas, who has retired from his underwater exploits, is called back into action as a global emergency unfolds, with coastal cities and shipping lanes at risk of becoming feeding grounds.
The stakes are higher than ever, as the team must work to stop these super-predators before they reach populated shores. But with the oceans holding even darker secrets, the megalodons may not be the only prehistoric creatures threatening humanity.
As the trailer intensifies, it showcases epic underwater chases, massive megalodon attacks on ships and submarines, and incredible special effects. New high-tech underwater weaponry is revealed, but even the most advanced tools seem powerless against the unstoppable forces of nature.
One dramatic scene shows Jason Statham’s character going head-to-head with a megalodon in a daring underwater battle, using his expertise in a desperate attempt to outsmart the massive beast. Explosions, crashes, and near-misses build up to a climactic shot of several megalodons closing in on a sinking ship, ready to strike.
The teaser ends with a chilling image of the largest megalodon yet, its silhouette emerging from the deep, its size dwarfing even the biggest naval vessels. The title The Meg 3 appears on screen, followed by the ominous tagline: “The hunt has just begun.”
Set to be one of the most visually spectacular films of 2025, The Meg 3 will feature an even bigger budget than its predecessor, rumored to be around $150 million, allowing for larger action sequences, cutting-edge CGI, and breathtaking underwater cinematography. Audiences can expect jaw-dropping scenes, pulse-pounding suspense, and a showdown of epic proportions as humans face the most fearsome predators to ever roam the ocean.
With Jason Statham reprising his role as Jonas Taylor, along with a mix of returning and new characters, The Meg 3 is sure to be a thrilling and action-packed adventure for fans of the series and lovers of giant monster films alike. Prepare for a deep-sea battle like never before when The Meg 3 crashes into theaters in 2025.
