With $180 million in the bank there was little surprise that Universal Pictures and Blumhouse would take their murderous meme-making doll out of the cupboard for a sequel, and judging by the final trailer for M3GAN 2.0, she has been given the mother of all upgrades.
Produced by James Wan for Atomic Monster and Jason Blum for Blumhouse, M3GAN 2.0 brings back writer-director Gerard Johnstone for another round of dolly destruction, as well as returning cast members Allison Williams, Violet McGraw, Jordan Alvarez, Jen Van Epps, Amie Donald, and Jenna Davis. New additions to the cast include Ivanna Sakhno, Aristotle Athari, Timm Sharp, and Jemaine Clement. Check out the trailer below…
“Two years after M3GAN, a marvel of artificial intelligence, went rogue and embarked on a murderous (and impeccably choreographed) 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; Ahsoka, Pacific Rim: Uprising), 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. As their paths collide, the original A.I icon is about to meet her match.”
