The Bloop is a 2024 science fiction action film directed by Steven Caple Jr. and produced by Zack Snyder and Jerry Bruckheimer from a screenplay by Steven Spielberg. It is the second installment in the Sea Monsters Universe and a follow-up/prequel to The Serpent. In addition to Salma Hayek returning from that film as Sofia Herrera, it stars Christian Serratos as the younger Sofia with Dylan O'Brien, Tom Holland, Millie Bobby Brown, Tika Sumpter, David Strathairn, and Christopher Judge. In the film, a pregnant Sofia is forced to team up with her abusive ex-husband and his more reasonable superior to investigate the presence of a sea monster terrorizing the North Atlantic. The Bloop opened in theaters on July 31st, 2024; the film was very well-received by critics and audiences, who praised the action sequences and the performances of Serratos and Hayek. However, it was a box-office disappointment, grossing only $472 million worldwide, failing to break-even of its $178 million budget. Another follow-up entitled Bukavac was released the following year, while a proper sequel to The Serpent entitled The Terrors of the Lusca is in development
