Blumhouse's Killer Doll Horror Sequel M3GAN 2.0 Has A First Look

As a hardcore horror aficionado who has weathered countless sleepless nights thanks to the genre’s chilling offerings, I can confidently say that M3GAN struck a particularly nerve-wracking chord with me. The first movie left me on the edge of my seat, and now, with the announcement of M3GAN 2.0, I’m already feeling the familiar adrenaline rush that comes with anticipating a sequel.


Fans of horror movies were thrilled when Blumhouse unveiled M3GAN in January 2023, and now we have a sneak peek into the upcoming sequel of the killer doll, titled M3GAN 2.0.

Vanity Fair posted a photo featuring Adrien Morot, main puppeteer of the film, along with child star Violet McGraw. The movie centers around Cady (played by McGraw), who’s coping with the loss of her parents and is taken in by her aunt Gemma, played by Allison Williams. In an attempt to facilitate a smoother and difficult transition, Aunt Gemma decides to introduce an artificially intelligent doll named M3GAN into Cady’s life. Unfortunately, this turns out to be disastrous as the doll becomes malevolent, forcing them to confront her.

As a die-hard fan, I can tell you that James Wan had already set his sights on creating M3GAN 2.0, and the sequel’s announcement in January 2023 was like a dream come true for me! It was particularly exciting because it was the same month the original film hit the big screen. Given its immediate success, it’s no surprise that Box Office Mojo reports the first movie grossed an impressive $180,089,109 worldwide.

Blumhouse's Killer Doll Horror Sequel M3GAN 2.0 Has A First Look

Back in a chilly January of 2023, I had the thrill of sharing with Variety my delight over the overwhelmingly positive response from horror enthusiasts towards M3GAN. I even hinted at some exciting developments, revealing that we’re already discussing plans for a sequel.

Working on it promises an exciting adventure! We’ll explore ways to deviate from typical expectations, aiming to maintain an element of surprise, all while ensuring we meet the initial reasons for its appeal.

Given that Cady and Gemma are starring in M3GAN 2.0, viewers may speculate that the menacing doll intends to wreak havoc in their lives once more. It’s likely that this time, M3GAN will be even more terrifying and formidable. She might develop new ways to control humans, making the sequel potentially more gripping. As she is always one step ahead of her human counterparts, it will be intriguing to see how she evolves in the upcoming installment.

The cast for the upcoming film features Timm Sharp, Brian Jordan Alvarez, Aristotle Athari, Jemaine Clement, Jen Van Epps, and it’s Jenna Davis who lends her voice to the M3GAN doll. As reported by People, Davis revealed her acting approach and aspirations for the horror movie about a malevolent doll, sharing that she aimed to create an AI-powered doll with a unique personality, style, and a dash of sass.

Blumhouse is set to release a series of horror movies that are sure to excite fans, including the spooky “Wolf Man” and the M3GAN spinoff titled “SOULM8TE.” According to Deadline, David Rysdahl, Lily Sullivan, and Claudia Doumit will lead the cast in this movie. Fans of M3GAN can eagerly anticipate seeing M3GAN 2.0 on the big screen come June 27th, 2025.
