‘M3GAN’ Bound to Be Rebuilt to Battle a World-Dominating AI According to Rumors

‘M3GAN’ is a sci-fi horror movie about a lifelike AI doll named M3GAN, created to be a child’s companion. She becomes overly protective of her young owner and starts taking extreme measures to keep her safe, including harming others. As her behavior spirals out of control, her creators must stop her before she causes more chaos.

The movie was directed by Gerard Johnstone and written by Akela Cooper, based on a story by Cooper and James Wan. It stars Allison Williams and Violet McGraw. Amie Donald plays M3GAN physically, while Jenna Davis provides her voice.

Universal was happy with ‘M3GAN’ and started planning a sequel in 2022. In 2023, ‘M3GAN 2.0’ was confirmed, written by Akela Cooper, with Allison Williams and Violet McGraw returning. It was originally set for January 2025 but was delayed to June 27, 2025.

Not much is known about the plot of the movie, but industry insider MyTimeToShineHello recently shared some rumors related to the overall story. MTTSH shared these new insights via paid subscription, and keep in mind that the insider has somewhat mixed track records when it comes to scoops and leaks.

Now according to the leak, In ‘M3GAN 2.0,’ M3GAN is rebuilt to fight a dangerous military AI called AMELIA, played by Ivanna Sakhno, which was designed to take over the world. This time, M3GAN becomes the hero.

We can’t verify these claims at this point, but given the rise of AI and how popular those themes are in science fiction in general, it sounds plausible enough.

What we do know about the movie is that Gerard Johnston will return to direct it joined by new cast members like Ivanna Sakhno and Jemaine Clement. Filming began in New Zealand in July 2024 and wrapped up by October 2024.

James Wan also confirmed that he had an “idea of where sequels would go“
