Alison Williams Talks M3GAN 2.0

M3GAN 2.0 recently got teased a bit at Blumhouse's New York Comic Con panel where the star Alison Williams spoke to the crowd about the upcoming sequel which has just finished filming, and had this to say.
M3GAN 2.0 is bigger and more expansive than the original, as the team felt they could have a little bit more fun with the follow-up after they learned a lot with the first movie.

When M3GAN rolls on to set — and I mean it, sometimes she is rolled onto set — the vibe shifts in the room, and it gets way spookier. 

The creepiest parts are just M3GAN in repose — wherever she's being held, walking past that tent, the M3GAN tent. ... If you look at it for too long, you're like, that's going to move, I'm going to keep walking.

We were like, I hope people get her.. She's a very specific vibe. ... When the trailer came out and people got her energy and the memes started showing up, we were just so psyched, because we were like, OK, she's in good hands. People understand.

M3GAN 2.0 Release Date Has Been Pushed Back

M3GAN 2.0 won't be coming releasing on January 17, 2025, anymore, as a new release date has been set. Universal pictures have pushed the movie 27th June, 2025.

Filming is set to begin soon on the sequel, with director Gerard Johnstone, screenwriter Akela Cooper, and cast members Violet McGraw (Cady) and Allison Williams (Aunt Gemma) all returning to deliver some more AI doll mayhem.

Plot details for  M3GAN 2.0 haven't been revealed yet, but we do know the AI doll M3GAN will be back, and her intense desire to protect her owner will once again lead to some chaos and murder. And don't forget, you can actually buy a life size replica of M3GAN if you want to....

In a 2023 interview, Violet McGraw had this to say about it.
I love that people are loving it. I think that it’s really funny, like I love Cady so much and I love that some people are calling her their favorite character and it makes me so grateful to be a part of such an amazing iconic film. 
But it was just really amazing. I was in shock when I like heard how fast M3GAN 2.0 was coming. I’m like, ‘Oh, already? Okay.’ But I’m so excited to work with that whole crew again. But I’m so glad people loved the film so much.

M3GAN was released in 2023 and performed well at the box office, grossing $181 million on a $12 million budget. No doubt they will be hoping for more of the same for the upcoming sequel.
