M3GAN 2.0 Final Trailer Makes No Promises Other Than A Killer Sequel
The murderous doll who captivated pop culture in 2023 is back. And this time she’s not alone.
Gerard Johnstone’s M3gan was a work of insanity. That film is more than just escapist killer doll thrills nowadays following its box office success and sequel prospects which have since brought us full bore with M3gan 2.0, hitting theaters June 27.
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.
James Wan and Jason Blum are back at the producers’ wheel for this second plating of action-horror sci-fi deliverables. The final trailer is online as of Monday and you know what? Killer robot-on-killer robot violence and humans piloting combat mech outfits by said killer robots sells for me. Take a look!
