The Meg.Talking to ComicBook.com, the filmmaker said he feels “a heavy responsibility” to deliver a great sequel to Jon Turteltaub’s blockbuster shark film, but he plans to honour it as best he can.“A lot of it is respecting The Meg, and trying to make sure it’s a great Meg film,” Wheatley said of the new film. “And as you can see from the movies I’ve made, they’re not necessarily, it’s not … when you go and do Doctor Who, I don’t completely change it because I wanted to do it.

I didn’t want to necessarily make it something completely different that nobody recognised, you know? So there’s that element of back and forth.”He continued: “But it’s an opportunity to do action on such an insanely large scale, that it’s just unbelievable.
