I don't think it's going to be a jellyfish, they don't really seem like a "nasty hostile mob", they kinda just float around. And it's not going to be a new squid variant (kids shouting Kraken, sit down) when squids are like the only mob in the ocean.
Hostile dolphin seems kind of weird, but it is true in real life, more people are raped to death by dolphins than eaten by sharks. With that in mind, however, adding hostile dolphins would be nothing short of a rape joke, which wouldn't belong in a game like Minecraft.
Personally, I think/hope that it's either a barracuda or some kind of fictional mob, maybe based on a prehistoric sea reptile (like a mesosaur or icthyosaur, but maybe a little smaller).
Also, ADD FISH AS A MOB! Jeb pls. With this new hostile sea creature, you could make it eat fish.

Timeless Modding is kinda dead but idk what to put here now
Here's hoping it's something that when you're out in the ocean, music slowly starts, then as it gets nearer to you the music intensifies, then it scuttles your boat and you're trapped in the ocean as a giant mouth comes from the depths and eats you whole. only way to avoid it would be to get to land.
The real-life deep underwaters here on earth house some of the freakiest stuff we'll ever see, if Jeb will take any inspiration from there I may need to man myself up whenever I need to go diving in-game.
Since one of the new blocks is a sea lantern maybe it's Angler fish to try to trick players into thinking its a sea lantern. This is might only happen if they spawn naturally.

Ya know, I was thinking Angler fish, too, but I could not recall the name.
"I'm working on a new hostile mob. It lives under water. It's not a shark. It's going to be nasty, but currently doesn't do much."
And this (8 jun):
"The mob I'm working on has a ranged attack and kills squid as well as players. On hard difficulty a full diamond armor is recommended."
"... as well as a Potion of Water Breathing, obviously. Having a helm with the Respiration enchantment helps you see underwater, too."
And this (10 jun):
"Pheeeew... Aaaalmost done with the new water dungeon, items and mob. Last thing to do is to make it generate in old worlds."
As well as this (11 jun):
"The texture of the Sea Lantern block, "
And this (17 jun):
"There will be a 1.8 snapshot tomorrow. Lots of in-development stuff, but it includes the new mob (with sounds!)"
And posted this picture of the mob on instagram (18 jun):
This is how the dungeon looks like:

Or a made-up thing.
Well, that was my first thought gone.

Sorry, my dear, but I don't give a snickerdoodle.
Spoiler alert!

Muhaha.
Behold! The squid cracken!
It's still possible, although I highly doubt it will happen.
