The Return of M3GAN: What to Expect from M3GAN 2.0

The Exciting Return of M3GAN and Cady

M3GAN 2.0 will see the return of a young star from the original movie, who revealed her excitement over coming back for the sci-fi horror sequel. The original film focused on the titular android, designed to be a robotic companion for children. However, it soon takes its programming to protect a young girl named Cady too seriously, resulting in a spree of murders throughout the film. Speaking with DiscussingFilm, star Violet McGraw confirmed she will be reprising her role as Cady when M3GAN 2.0 gets released. The actor expressed her excitement about returning, but indicated she doesn't know where the story will be going in the sequel. McGraw's return indicates other stars are likely to come back, including Allison Williams' Gemma, as well as Amie Donald and Jenna Davis as the likeness and voice of M3GAN, respectively. Akela Cooper is already confirmed to be writing the sequel, while Gerard Johnstone is in talks to come back as the director as well.

The ending of M3GAN saw the titular doll destroyed by Gemma and Cady, seemingly putting an end to the killer doll's rampage. However, the very final moments of the film indicate she may still be alive somewhere in their house, having taken over one of their home devices. If this is the case, then the sequel could explore the idea of AI using more than just the lifelike doll featured in the original. Producer James Wan previously teased the movie will have more to do with AI, possibly expanding ideas about reliance on technology explored in the first film.
