The murderous doll who captivated pop culture in 2023 is back. And this time she’s not alone. Universal has just released the first official trailer for M3GAN 2.0, which sees the title artificial intelligence doll joining the good side, just like the T-800 in Terminator 2! Let’s take a look.
Directed by acclaimed returning filmmaker Gerard Johnstone, the returning cast for M3GAN 2.0 includes Allison Williams, Violet McGraw, Amie Donald, Jenna Davis, Brian Jordan Alvarez, and Jen Van Epps. Aristotle Athari, Timm Sharp, Jemaine Clement, and Ivanna Sakhno join the sequel as new characters.
Plot Synopsis:
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), 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 bitch is about to meet her match.
M3GAN 2.0 opens in theaters on June 27, 2025.
