Hollywood action hero Jason Statham comes face to face with three deep sea-dwelling sharks along with a giant creature with a bunch of tentacles in the Meg 2: The Trench official trailer, released by Universal Pictures on Tuesday early morning.

The two-minute-51-second-long trailer begins with a demonstration of the food chain during the era of dinosaurs, giving us a glimpse of the brutal nature of sharks. The clip goes on to show a trio of sharks attacking a beach full of tourists. We see how Statham tries to take on the fearsome trio and strives hard to keep himself away from their jaws.
