"I'm storyboarding at the moment," revealed the filmmaker. "It's been going on for four months, five months. It's my happy place, I love storyboarding. So yeah, I'm cutting storyboards and watching animatics, and slowly constructing the movie.
"It's really exciting. It's just action on a massive, massive scale."
As for which characters could be returning, Wheatley went on to share: "I don't think I can say at the moment what's going on, the ins and outs of it. But guaranteed, there will be a megalodon – maybe more than one."
