How Meg 2 explains Li Bingbing’s absence and what happened to Suyin

Li Bingbing does not return Meg 2: The Trenchleaving fans wondering how Suyin died afterwards Meg. The sequel finds Jason Statham’s Jonas Taylor returning to action and fighting megalodons several years after the events of the original film. Meg 2: The Trench revolves around a core group of characters who are mostly returnees from the first film, as Meiying, Mac and DJ are back together and joined by some new faces. This made Suyin’s omission even more glaring.

Although there are several characters missing in Meg 2, the biggest absence comes with Li Bingbing’s Suyin not appearing in Mega 2. She was alive at the conclusion of the last film and positioned to be a romantic interest for Jason Statham in the future. Suyin’s daughter Meiying returns for the sequel, which also features Chinese film star Jing Wu as Suyin’s brother Juiming. Instead of letting questions circulate about why Suyin isn’t in the film, Mega 2 directly explains why Li Bingbing’s character does not appear.

Meg 2: The Trench reveals that Suyin died years after Meg’s story

The character’s fate made Li Bingbing’s return impossible

It is confirmed in Meg 2: The Trench that Suyin died later Megis ending. The revelation comes during a 10th anniversary party for the Oceanic Institute that Juiming organizes with Jonas and Meiying among those present.

Why Meg 2 Killed Li Bingbing’s Character Off-Screen

Actress Suyin may have retired

It’s a little confusing because Mega 2 kills Li Bingbing’s Suyin off-screen instead of finding another way to explain his absence. This eliminates any chance of her returning in a potential sequel, and Suyin’s death is barely discussed by Jonas or Meiying to help flesh out their stories. The best explanation is that Bingbing may have quietly stepped back from the action to pursue other interests. If she retired from acting, Suyin’s death in Meg 2: The Trench makes a little more sense. The film was released in 2023 and she has no acting credits as of 2022.
