Blumhouse made horror fans very happy whenM3GANwas released in January 2023, and nowthere is a first look atthe killer doll sequelM3GAN 2.0.
Vanity Fairshared an image of the M3GAN doll withAdrien Morot, the lead puppeteer of the movie,and starViolet McGraw. The original movie followsCady (McGraw), a young girl who is grieving the loss of her parents and whose aunt Gemma (Allison Williams) takes her in. Gemma thinks that she can ease this painful and challenging transition with an artificially intelligent doll named M3GAN. Of course, this is a terrible idea as the doll is evil, and they have to fight her.
James Wan knew he wanted to makeM3GAN 2.0andthe sequel was announced in January 2023. Since that was the same month that the original was released in movie theaters, it was clearly a big hit. According toBox Office Mojo,the first movie grossed $180,089,109 worldwide.
In an interview withVarietyin January 2023,Williams shared that she was happy that horror fans have responded so well toM3GAN. She also talked about the sequel and said:
“It’s gonna be really fun if we get to work on it, to figure out how we can zig and zag that around the expectations of what it would be and attempt to keep things surprising while also delivering on the reasons that people want more in the first place.”
Since Cady and Gemma are appearing inM3GAN 2.0, fans can guess thatthe killer doll is trying to ruin their lives once again. Perhaps, this time around,M3GAN will be even scarierand more threatening. She might figure out how to manipulate humans even more than she already did, which would definitely make the sequel bigger and better. She already is one step ahead of the humans in her life, and it will be cool to see what she’s like in the sequel.
Although specific plot details are unknown, the cast includes Timm Sharp, Brian Jordan Alvarez, Aristotle Athari, Jemaine Clement, and Jen Van Epps.Jenna Davis is the voice of the M3GAN doll.According toPeople, Davis shared her acting process and her hopes forthe horror movie evil dollwith some tricks up her sleeve: “I wanted to verify she was an AI with personality, flare and sass.”
