MEG 3: Primal Waters (2025) is an upcoming science fiction action thriller directed by Ben Wheatley, serving as the third installment in the MEG film series. The film continues the saga of Jonas Taylor, portrayed by Jason Statham, as he confronts new prehistoric threats emerging from the depths of the ocean.​

Set several years after the events of Meg 2: The Trench, the story follows Jonas Taylor, now retired and raising his teenage stepdaughter, Meiying Zhang (Shuya Sophia Cai). Enticed by a lucrative offer, Jonas agrees to consult on a reality TV survival show set in the South Pacific. However, the production area has been plagued by mysterious disappearances, hinting at the presence of ancient predators. As Jonas investigates, he discovers that the threats surpass even the formidable Megalodon, introducing new prehistoric creatures like the Kronosaurus and Liopleurodon.​

The film delves into the psychological toll of survival, as Jonas and his team are pushed to their limits in a race to contain these ancient threats before they devastate coastal cities and disrupt the balance of the world’s oceans. Armed with cutting-edge technology and sheer determination, Jonas faces his greatest challenge yet—stopping a force of nature that refuses to be tamed.​

Returning cast members include Cliff Curtis as James “Mac” Mackreides, Wu Jing as Jiuming Zhang, and Page Kennedy as DJ. The film is based on Steve Alten’s novel Meg: Primal Waters, continuing the adaptation of his MEG series.​
While an official release date has not been confirmed, MEG 3: Primal Waters is anticipated to premiere in late 2025 or summer 2026.​
