Rumor: M3GAN Will Be Rebuilt to Face Off Against a World-Dominating AI!

As a seasoned gamer and tech enthusiast with a soft spot for sci-fi and horror movies, I’m absolutely thrilled about the upcoming sequel to M3GAN! The original movie was a chilling blend of AI gone rogue and heartwarming companionship, and I can’t wait to see how they’re going to top it.

M3GAN is a science fiction horror film that revolves around an advanced AI doll designed as a friend for a young girl. However, the doll displays excessive protectionism and ends up injuring others to safeguard her charge. As her behavior escalates into potentially harmful acts, those responsible for her creation are left with no choice but to deactivate her before she causes any further damage.

The film was helmed by director Gerard Johnstone, with screenplay penned by Akela Cooper. The story was developed jointly by Cooper and James Wan. Lead roles are played by Allison Williams and Violet McGraw, while Amie Donald performs M3GAN on-screen, and Jenna Davis lends her voice to the character.

Universal found themselves pleased with the success of ‘M3GAN’ and announced plans for a sequel in 2022. In the following year, ‘M3GAN 2.0’ was officially greenlit, with Akela Cooper penning the script and original cast members Allison Williams and Violet McGraw reprising their roles. The release date for this highly-anticipated film was then shifted from January 2025 to June 27, 2025.

Information on the plot of M3GAN 2.0 is scarce, but there have been whispers circulating in the industry by a source known as MyTimeToShineHello. These rumors about the storyline were divulged through a premium subscription, though it’s worth noting that this insider has an inconsistent history with accurate leaks and scoops.

Based on the leak’s information, in M3GAN 2.0, robot M3GAN is refashioned to confront a menacing military AI called AMELIA, portrayed by Ivanna Sakhno, which aims to dominate the globe. In this iteration, M3GAN assumes the heroic role.

It’s not yet verified, but given the growing prevalence of AI and its frequent appearance in science fiction, it appears plausible.

It’s confirmed that Gerard Johnston is coming back as the director for this project, joined by fresh faces such as Ivanna Sakhno and Jemaine Clement. Principal photography kicked off in New Zealand during July 2024, wrapping up by October 2024.

James Wan also mentioned that he has an “idea of where sequels would go.”
