Gerard Johnstone's bringing his cursed doll back to the big screen this year in M3GAN 2.0, a sequel to his 2022 film M3GAN, starring Amie Donald as the titular doll, with Jenna Davis responsible for the voice.
Made on $12 million, M3GAN went on to gross over $180 million and received rave reviews from critics who gave it a 93% rating on the review aggregate site Rotten Tomatoes.
M3GAN became a viral sensation for a dance she did in the film and stole the hearts of audiences who fell in love with the tale of a robotics engineer who gifts her new invention, M3GAN, to her niece, Cady, in hopes it'll be a helpful companion through her grief.

Violet McGraw plays Cady, with Allison Williams as her aunt, Gemma, and they are joined by co-stars Ronny Chieng, Brian Jordan Alvarez, Jen Van Epps, Stephane Garneau-Monten, and Lori Dungey.
Now, M3GAN returns in M3GAN 2.0, a project revealed to be in the works shortly after the success of the first film.
Universal Pictures has now unveiled the first teaser for the film, which sees a familiar face back with her signature dance to the tune of Chappell Roan's "Femininomenon".
What Is M3GAN 2.0 About?
With the release of the teaser comes new details about the film from Universal, who have dropped an in detail description of what's to come in the upcoming film:
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; Ahsoka, Pacific Rim: Uprising), 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.
Who Is in M3GAN 2.0?
Amie Donald and Jenna Davis partner once more to become M3GAN, with Violet McGraw and Allison Williams set to return, as well as Brian Jordan Alvarez and Jen Van Epps.
Aristotle Athari, Timm Sharp, Ivanna Sakhno, and Jemaine Clement – newcomers to the M3GAN universe – also join the cast.
When Is M3GAN 2.0 Out?
M3GAN 2.0 hits theaters on June 27, 2025.
