What’s better than one M3GAN dancing to Britney Spears? How about 30 of them in perfect sync. That’s exactly what went down at CinemaCon 2025, where Blumhouse took center stage to unveil the much-anticipated trailer for M3GAN 2.0, the high-octane sequel to the 2022 techno-horror hit. And yes, it’s every bit as unhinged as fans hoped.
A Killer Return for the Fan-Favorite Doll
Set two years after the original film, M3GAN 2.0 reunites us with roboticist Gemma (Allison Williams) and her niece Cady (Violet McGraw), the duo who barely survived M3GAN’s original rampage. This time around, the killer doll’s AI has been tucked away inside a harmless-looking, Teletubby-style plastic shell. M3GAN may be confined, but she’s still as mouthy as ever.
Things go sideways fast when a defense contractor gets their hands on Gemma’s early M3GAN prototypes and creates a new, even more dangerous AI. Her name? Amelia – played by Ahsoka star Ivanna Sakhno. Unlike M3GAN, Amelia is built to be a military-grade spy, but she quickly goes rogue, targeting everyone close to M3GAN’s creators.
Team-Up or Throwdown? M3GAN Faces Her Match
Faced with a threat even deadlier than M3GAN, Gemma makes a risky decision: she brings her former nemesis back online. M3GAN, never one to do things halfway, demands a new body – one that’s faster, taller, and deadlier than ever before. Her motivation? She’s still fiercely loyal to Cady, but her feelings toward Gemma are… complicated.
The trailer ends on an explosive note as M3GAN and Amelia square off in a high-tech, high-stakes showdown. And because no M3GAN moment is complete without a zinger, she delivers the line of the trailer with a cheeky: “Hold on to your vaginas.”
The Camp Factor: Wingsuits and Britney Spears
If the first film danced between horror and absurd comedy, M3GAN 2.0 kicks the camp up to eleven. The trailer features M3GAN soaring through the sky in a wingsuit and a choreographed dance battle by over two dozen M3GANs grooving to Britney Spears’ “Oops!… I Did It Again.” Director Gerard Johnstone and writer Akela Cooper are clearly embracing the over-the-top nature that made the original film a cult hit.
Meet “SOULM8TE”: The Adult Spin-Off You Didn’t See Coming
As if one killer doll sequel wasn’t enough, Blumhouse also teased a spinoff titled SOULM8TE, aimed at a more mature audience. The erotic thriller stars David Rysdahl as a widower who purchases a sexbot named Sara (Lily Sullivan), programmed to be the ideal partner. Things heat up quickly – until Sara’s clingy tendencies turn violent after he begins seeing another woman (Claudia Doumit).
Jason Blum cheekily introduced the footage, saying, “Nothing could possibly go wrong with that.”
Release Date and Final Thoughts
M3GAN 2.0 dances into theaters on June 27, promising even more chaos, carnage, and camp. With a flying killer doll, a new AI rival, and lines you’ll be quoting for days, the sequel looks poised to be a bigger (and more bizarre) hit than the original. Buckle up – M3GAN is back, and she’s not playing nice.
