When Is “Meg 2: The Trench” Coming To Disney+?

The simple answer is that it won’t be.    This is because the film is distributed worldwide by Warner Bros. Pictures.   So this means the film will be going to Max first in the United States, and because Warner Brothers Discovery doesn’t have a global streaming service like Netflix or Disney+, Warner Brothers films appear on alternative streaming services in different countries.
