M3GAN prepares for battle and plays nice in M3GAN 2.0 clip (2025)

The sci-fi thrillerM3GAN(read our reviewHERE, get a copyHERE) wassuch a financial success when it reached theatres in January of 2023, it didn’t even take Universal Pictures and production companies Blumhouse and Atomic Monster two weeks to announce that they’d be re-teaming for a sequel.M3GAN 2.0is set to reach theatres onJune 27th – and with that date speeding up on us, a clip has arrived online. You can check it out at the bottom of this article.

Based on a story crafted by producer James Wan,M3GANwas directed by Gerard Johnstone (Housebound) from a screenplay by Akela Cooper (Malignant). Johnstone is working from a Cooper script again for the sequel. The first film has the following synopsis:She’s more than just a toy. She’s part of the family.From the most prolific minds in horror — James Wan, the filmmaker behind the Saw, Insidious and The Conjuring franchises, and Blumhouse, the producer of the Halloween films, The Black Phone and The Invisible Man — comes a fresh new face in terror.M3GAN is a marvel of artificial intelligence, a life-like doll programmed to be a child’s greatest companion and a parent’s greatest ally. Designed by brilliant toy-company roboticist Gemma, M3GAN can listen and watch and learn as she becomes friend and teacher, playmate and protector, for the child she is bonded to. When Gemma suddenly becomes the caretaker of her orphaned 8-year-old niece, Cady, Gemma’s unsure and unprepared to be a parent. Under intense pressure at work, Gemma decides to pair her M3GAN prototype with Cady in an attempt to resolve both problems — a decision that will have unimaginable consequences.

Allison Williams andM3GANco-star Violet McGraw came back for the follow-up (reprising the roles of roboticist Gemma and her niece Kady), as did Brian JordanAlvarezand Jen Van Epps (as Gemma’s associates Cole and Tess). This time, they’re joined in the cast by Ivanna Sakhno (Ahsoka), who has a major part in the sequel, Jemaine Clement (What We Do in the Shadows), Timm Sharp (Blunt Talk), and Aristotle Athari (Saturday Night Live). Amie Donald and Jenna Davis bring M3GAN herself to life.

The trailer forM3GAN 2.0shows us that, this time around (as described by JoBlo’s own Chris Bumbray), “M3GAN has to fight a new AI called Amelia. M3GAN is kind of the hero BUT she also wants to kill Allison WillIams’s character. M3GAN is first revived in a Teletubby, but Amelia is hunting Cady and M3GAN still wants to protect her. They upgrade her body to make her taller, faster and stronger. Lots of action in it. Seems more like an action flick than the last one with tons of camp humor.” Johnstone has described the sequel as an action comedy with horror DNA.

The action comedy element is clear in the M3GAN 2.0 clip below, which shows M3GAN preparing for her battle – and then taking a moment to play nice with a character she tried to kill in the previous movie.
