OVERVIEW
Filming for M3GAN 2.0 has begun, featuring both new and returning cast members, including Jen Van Epps and Brian Jordan Alvarez.
M3GAN 2.0’s narrative is yet unknown, however the conclusion of the first movie suggests that further advancements in AI systems may be made.
Maintaining plot continuity while setting itself apart from other AI-centric movies like AfrAId requires M3GAN 2.0 to innovate.
M3GAN 2.0 confirms the return of several cast members as well as the commencement of filming. When Blumhouse’s horror movie M3GAN was released in early 2023, it was almost immediately successful. From its humorous AI robot dance to its impromptu songs, M3GAN struck a chord with both reviewers and viewers by striking a balance between humor and terror. Less than a month after the original movie’s announcement, an M3GAN sequel was officially confirmed due to the film’s immense success.
Filming on M3GAN 2.0 has started, according to Deadline, and a number of the cast members have been confirmed. Stars Brian Jordan Alvarez and Jen Van Epps, who will play Cole and Tess again, respectively, are among the cast members. Aristotle Athari, Jemaine Clement, and Timm Sharp are among the new cast members in the sequel. It is unknown yet what precise roles these three new cast members will play.
What Can We Expect From M3GAN 2.0?
The Final Left Possibilities of M3GAN Are Open
Along with the previously announced cast members of M3GAN 2.0—Allison Williams, Violent McGraw, and Jenna Davis—these casting announcements round out the group. Ivanna Sakhno, star of Ahsoka, was also previously revealed as an addition to the film. Gerard Johnstone, who previously stepped in to helm the first M3GAN film, will be directing the production. Akela Cooper, a screenwriter for M3GAN, wrote the script. All all, M3GAN 2.0 is reuniting a large number of the original film’s core cast members, lending vital talent to the production.
The M3GAN 2.0 storyline has not yet been confirmed, even with the news that filming has begun. However, M3GAN’s finale raises some questions about potential plot points for the follow-up. Even though the original doll was defeated in the first movie, the epilogue suggests that “Elsie,” the M3GAN universe’s equivalent of Siri and Alexa, may have been contaminated. Though it’s unclear exactly how the robot accomplished it, these few seconds suggest that M3GAN 2.0 may enhance the capabilities of the AI system.
M3GAN 2.0 will need to proceed cautiously with this specific story point since it could intersect with the impending 2024 movie AfrAId. Similar to M3GAN’s Elsie, AfrAId presents AIA, an assistant system that functions as an eerie replica of reality and resembles Alexa. According to the AfrAId teaser, AIA has started to have too much influence over the lives of the major people and has even taken on a monstrous appearance. M3GAN 2.0 must accomplish something different from its predecessor while still providing a logical sequel to set itself apart from other AI-focused movies such as AfrAId.
