M3GAN 2.0: AI Doll Returns in Sequel to Combat New AI Threat

M3GAN 2.0 is here to slay in a perfectly on-brand first sequel teaser for the upcoming horror movie

She's Back! Our favorite killer AI robot M3GAN has returned in the first sassy teaser for the upcoming sequel M3GAN 2.0. The short teaser video, which premiered at the Grammys but has since been posted on Twitter by Blumhouse, opens with M3GAN's silhouette posing in front of a pink backdrop while Chappell Roan's song 'Femininomenon' starts to play in the background. After the robot hits her signature dance from the first movie, the video confirms the sequel's release date: "On June 27 this bitch is back." The clip ends with M3GAN's revealed to the camera as she asks, "Miss me?" We sure have missed her. Watch the full teaser below. After the mass of memes the first movie produced, it looks like the sequel is fully embracing M3GAN being an internet icon, and fans are loving it. "YASSS queen she came to slay," replied one user, while another echoed, "M3GAN dancing to Chappell just cementing herself even more of a gay icon!" Although we only get a small look at M3GAN's appearance, the doll's hair looks a little darker and her face appears smoother. This could be part of the upgrade to 2.0, but the creators could still be ironing out some visual effects. The first movie hit screens in 2022, introducing us to the lifelike doll that's programmed to be a child's greatest companion and protector. M3GAN follows roboticist Gemma (Allison Williams) who decides to use her latest creation M3GAN to her own advantage when she unexpectedly becomes the caretaker of her 8-year-old niece (Violet McGraw). But as the child and robot grow closer, Gemma realizes that M3GAN just may be evil. There is no official synopsis for M2GAN 2.0 at this point, but it has been confirmed that stars Williams and McGraw are returning. Newcomers include Ahsoka star Ivanna Sakhno. But that's not all as the M3GAN universe is expanding with upcoming spin-off Soulm8te set to hit screens in 2026, focusing on a romantic AI doll.

Watch the first M3GAN 2.0 trailer for the upcoming sci-fi horror sequel starring Allison Williams, Violet McGraw, Brian Jordan Alvarez, Jen Van Epps, Amie Donald, Jenna Davis, Ivanna Sakhno, Aristotle Athari, Timm Sharp, and Jemaine Clement. The murderous doll is back, and this time she's not alone. Set two years after M3GAN, where a marvel of artificial intelligence went rogue and embarked on a murderous rampage and was subsequently destroyed, M3GAN's creator Gemma (Allison Williams) has become a high-profile author and advocate for government oversight of A.I. Meanwhile, Gemma's niece Cady (Violet McGraw), now 14, has become a teenager, rebelling against Gemma's overprotective rules. Unbeknownst to them, the underlying tech for M3GAN has been stolen and misused by a powerful defense contractor to create a military-grade weapon known as Amelia (Ivanna Sakhno), the ultimate killer infiltration spy. But as Amelia's self-awareness increases, she becomes decidedly less interested in taking orders from humans. Or in keeping them around. With the future of human existence on the line, Gemma realizes that the only option is to resurrect M3GAN (Amie Donald, voiced by Jenna Davis) and give her a few upgrades, making her faster, stronger, and more lethal. M3GAN 2.0 debuts in theaters on June 27, 2025. The movie is directed by Gerard Johnstone. It's written by Akela Cooper. M3GAN 2.0 is produced by James Wan, Jason Blum and Allison Williams, the film is executive produced by Gerard Johnstone, Adam Hendricks, Greg Gilreath, Michael Clear, Judson Scott and Mark D. Katchur.

The murdering AI dancing doll is back, but this time she's fighting for good? M3GAN 2.0 has just had its first teaser trailer revealed, which doesn't give us much more than less than a minute of the doll walking up to the camera and doing a bit of dancing. Chappell Roan's Femininomenon plays in the background, and we're reminded of the release date for the film, which is the 27th of June. The plot this time revolves around AI going rogue again, except instead of M3GAN herself it's another robot that needs taking down. After M3GAN's tech is stolen to make an AI weapon called Amelia, M3GAN will be resurrected to save humanity. Whether she'll end up helping or hurting it by the end is entirely unknown, though.
