During a press junket for the upcoming Pet Sematary reboot, Cinemablend asked producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura about the state of The Meg's sequel. He replied by confirming the film was currently being written:
We’re working on a script. Yeah. So you never know until you get a good script. … I was very thankful that the audience got that we were just trying to have fun, [and] not take ourselves seriously at all.
The Meg was adapted from the popular novel by Steve Alten. As plot details arise concerning the film's sequel, we'll be sure to keep you updated!
