Universal Pictures has debuted the first teaser trailer for the M3GAN 2.0, Gerard Johnstone’s sequel to his hit 2023 horror which reunites the director with Allison Williams and Violet McGraw as they reprise their roles as Gemma and her niece Cady.
Alongside Williams and McGraw, Brian Jordan Alvarez and Jen Van Epps also return to the roles of Gemma’s loyal tech teammates Cole and Tess, with franchise newcomers Ivanna Sakhno, Aristotle Athari, Timm Sharp, and Jemaine Clement joining the cast. Check out the teaser 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 bitch is about to meet her match.
M3GAN 2.0 arrives in cinemas on June 27th.
