Concept art for M3GAN unveils a series of horrifying design concepts for the movie's eponymous killer doll, enhancing her terror-inducing presence. In the film, Gemma (Allison Williams) develops a lifelike AI doll named M3GAN, intended to serve as a child's companion. Initially possessing an uncannily doll-like appearance, M3GAN ultimately transforms into a menacing slasher villain, lending the film a campy element. Yet, Jared Krichevsky's Twitter post showcases concept art that delves into even more chilling imaginings for the malevolent doll.
Could M3GAN Get A New Design In M3GAN 2.0?
The images reveal that M3GAN is being developed in a significantly more nefarious laboratory setting. Additionally, the artwork showcases two distinct variations of M3GAN, one of which portrays her with sleek, ebony hair. The intriguing possibility arises that M3GAN 2.0 could draw inspiration from these creative designs.
Gemma's goal while designing the M3GAN doll was to foster a deep connection between the doll and the child it is paired with. Just like Barbie or Cabbage Patch Kids dolls, it would be logical to have multiple designs for M3GAN, as seen in the original version. By introducing M3GAN 2.0, the sequel could explore the use of concept art, such as Krichevsky's, to create a distinct and individualized feel.
A more terrifying design for M3GAN has the potential to create a darker and more chilling sequel, M3GAN 2.0. In light of the growing prominence of artificial intelligence, M3GAN 2.0 could take advantage of this idea and focus more on AI, departing from the campy, PG-13 style of the original while still maintaining its core themes. Given the success of M3GAN at the box office, it would make sense for M3GAN 2.0 to maintain a similar look and feel. However, if the franchise continues to thrive and expand, there is a possibility of a future M3GAN film with a darker tone. The concept art for M3GAN serves as evidence of the potential scariness that the franchise could explore in M3GAN 2.0 or in an undisclosed future installment.
