New Photos Shared for the Killer A.I. Doll Thriller M3GAN 2.0
We’ve got two new photos to share with you from Blumhouse and Atomic Monster's M3GAN 2.0 and they feature the return of the killer A.I. doll and Violet McGraw as Cady working on some robotic electronics.
There are still no story details for the sequel, but director Gerard Johnstone “honed in on Gemma as a reluctant parent, the Frankenstein’s monster element, and the real-world parallels around A.I.”
Johnstone explained to EW: “It was really important that the sequel is a response to what people really loved about the first movie, but also this evolving conversation and fear that we're having about how A.I. is changing us and changing our children and changing society. In a way, M3GAN is a personification of all of those fears.”
Johnstone went on to confirms the bot is still very much obsessed with Cady, and says that M3GAN will also get some new looks. “She's a living doll, and part of the fun of having a doll is being able to play dress-up.
“We had a couple of looks in the first film, but I wanted 10 different looks for M3GAN. For the sequel, I felt like here's a chance to do that.”
Producer James Wan previously teased the return of the killer robot doll in the sequel, saying: "It's early yet, but M3GAN is coming back in a big way.
“The first film came just at the right time [when concerns about AI were mounting], and we're definitely leaning into that on the next one. We're exploring the AI universe even further."
Allison Williams is also set to return to star in the film, and they will be joined by Ahsoka star Ivanna Sakhno. Williams is also set to star in the spinoff film, SOULM8TE.
M3GAN 2.0 is currently scheduled for release on June 27, 2025.
