M3GAN 2 Dials Down Horror, Amps up Action

If you’ve seen the techno horror movie M3GAN, it’s unlikely that you’ve forgotten the plot, regardless of whether you loved or hated it. For those who didn’t see it, it was all about how a robot called M3GAN, a prototype made by Gemma, gets violently unhinged in her efforts to look after Gemma’s niece Cady. In the end, she is decommisioned, but the creators have decided to bring M3GAN back, since she was such a hit!

Not only is the psycho AI doll back, but she’s got some serious competition. ​

Plot Twist: Meet Amelia

Two years after M3GAN’s (played by Amie Donald and voiced by Jenna Davis) original rampage, Gemma (Allison Williams) is living her best life as a bestselling author and AI regulation advocate. But, as these things go, a defense contractor steals M3GAN’s tech to create Amelia (Ivanna Sakhno), a military-grade robot with a serious attitude problem. Amelia goes rogue, and guess who’s called back into action? That’s right, M3GAN, who demands new upgrades to fight the new menace, which is simply a worse version of herself.

The Trailer: Dancing and Danger

The teaser kicks off with M3GAN busting out her viral dance moves to Chappell Roan’s “Femininomenon.” She winks at the camera and asks, “Miss me?” Well, the answer is – maybe?!

Funnily, the new M3GAN is tweaked into a harmless telly-tubby like body. But when the evil new robot wreaks havoc in town, M3GAN convinces Gemma and others that she can stop Amelia, but only if she is given her old design back… with a few new tweaks. So essentially, this isn’t going to be a creepy horror movie like the first film, but rather a ‘robot vs robot’ action movie.

Directed by Gerard Johnstone, M3GAN 2.0 is set to hit theaters on June 27, 2025. So, clear your schedules, charge your devices, and get ready for a sequel that might be more thrilling than finding an extra fry at the bottom of the bag.​
