Surprising Twist: Li Bingbing's Absence from The Meg 2 Leaves Fans Baffled!
Li Bingbing's absence in The Meg 2 sparks curiosity Fans wonder why Suyin Zhang, her notable character, won't return for the sequel Delve into the reasons behind Li Bingbing's exclusion in this highly anticipated film
Li Bingbing did not reprise her role as Suyin Zhang in The Meg 2. However, is there a specific reason for her absence?
In the original Meg film, Jason Statham portrayed Jonas Taylor, a diver who abandoned his life at sea after being forced to abandon two of his crew members during a megalodon attack. He later joins forces with Li Bingbing's character, Suyin Zhang, a researcher at Mana One, for a new mission.
In the sequel, Taylor is assigned the role of leading an audacious research team on a pioneering dive into the unfathomable depths of the ocean. However, their expedition takes an unexpected turn as a malicious mining operation jeopardizes their mission, thrusting them into a perilous struggle for survival against colossal sharks and other formidable creatures.
Despite the anticipation of Jonas and Suyin becoming a couple after the events of the initial film, Bingbing will not be reprising her role in The Meg 2. Why?
Why isn’t Li Bingbing in The Meg 2?
Li Bingbing's departure from The Meg 2 has not been officially confirmed, but it appears that her busy schedule is to blame. Following the release of The Meg in 2018, the actress has only appeared in one film, Ordinary Hero, which was released in 2022. Additionally, she serves as a United Nations Goodwill Ambassador for China and is the founder of L.O.V.E., a charitable organization focused on advocating for an environmentally friendly and low-carbon lifestyle.
The trajectory of Bingbing's environmental activism may have taken a different course had she chosen to prioritize her acting career, particularly in films like Meg 2, where the narrative revolves around the conflict between humans and nature.
The movie has yet to address her absence in detail, but we can anticipate some mention of her whereabouts since her character's daughter Meiying (portrayed by Shuya Sophia Cai) will make a comeback in the sequel. It is possible that she may be deceased, or maybe she is away on a research expedition and Jonas has been entrusted with Meiying's care temporarily. Perhaps, there is even a possibility of her making an unexpected return in The Meg 3.
