Meg 2: The Trench has been rated a 12A by the British Board of Film Classification (BBFC), but why is that? The 12A certificate allows children under 12 to watch the film in a cinema if accompanied by an adult.
Meg 2: The Trench is an action-adventure, science fiction movie. The movie contains sustained violence and threat from very large, scary creatures and is therefore not suitable for children under 12. Parental guidance is also recommended for children aged 12-13, due to the high level of violence.
Director Ben Wheatley says his new shark movie is more about “summer thrills” than “gory thrills”. But consider The Meg 2's 12A rating due warning. Legs will kick.
There Is No Confirmed Reason For Li Bingbing's Meg 2 Absence
When an actor departs a project so close to the movie's production there's usually an explanation, whether it's creative differences with the cast and crew or last-minute schedule conflicts.
There is definitely more blood than Jurassic Park but it's a similar pace to the films 4-6. It's pretty funny - doesn't take its self too seriously. The dog does not die. The romance was quite light and bearable for a 9 year old.
I understand that some kids are more sensitive to other things and that's why common sense made the little things seem big. I said 12+ but really it doesn't matter. If you think you or your kid are mature enough to handle swearing or violence then I say go for it.
The producers haven't provided an official reason for McNamee's exclusion from the Meg 2 cast. Lori is never mentioned in the sequel, so her status remains a mystery.

Summary. Several characters from The Meg, including Suyin Zhang, Lori, and Jaxx, do not return for Meg 2: The Trench. Suyin Zhang, played by Li Bingbing, survives The Meg but sits out the events of Meg 2, while her daughter Meiying returns.
It is confirmed in Meg 2: The Trench that Suyin died after The Meg's ending. The revelation comes during a 10th-anniversary party for the Oceanic Institute that Juiming hosts with Jonas and Meiying among those in attendance.

“Meg 2: The Trench” is the sequel to the 2018 movie “The Meg,” in which a team of ocean scientists discover a megalodon, the largest shark that ever lived, thriving at the bottom of the Mariana Trench. Megalodon went extinct over 2.6 million years ago … or so the movie's characters thought.
