As a die-hard fan who has grown up with horror movies, I must say that the M3GAN Cinematic Universe (MCU) has me absolutely thrilled! From its quirky origins to the tantalizing hints of what’s to come, this franchise has captured my imagination in ways few others have.
Initially, an intriguing horror film featuring a murderous robot doll took shape, eventually evolving into a massive cinematic sensation. The sequel to this hit, titled M3GAN 2.0, is scheduled for release in 2025, with a spinoff movie, SOULM8TE, following in the year after. In a recent conversation, actress and producer Allison Williams hinted at grand plans for the expanding M3GAN Cinematic Universe (MCU). However, a chilling query posed by the former Girls star regarding the future of this franchise has sparked my curiosity, leading me to ponder its direction as well.
Could there potentially be a high-tech AI showdown across different film franchises in future Blumhouse productions? Actress and producer Williams, along with director Gerard Johnstone, recently shared insights with Entertainment Weekly. Although they’re being secretive about M3GAN 2.0, their remarks have certainly piqued my curiosity. The follow-up is designed to expand upon the enchanting elements of the first movie while elevating the narrative to new dimensions. However, one might wonder what a colossal threat would resemble for the sentient dolls in this scenario? Williams offered her thoughts on the matter:
It fills me with dread to even contemplate what that might entail. Comparably, if Thanos were a metaphor for some situation or concept, I’d rather continue exploring it as long as each instance offers fresh insights and unique narratives.
The idea of a full-scale “Avengers-style” event for the M3GAN Cinematic Universe might sound absurd but, considering the runaway success of the original, it’s not out of the question. The interconnected upcoming horror movies intend to expand the scope while staying true to the quirks that made the original so beloved, which, like Williams, I believe is key to keeping the movies interesting.
Coming up with sequel ideas for Johnstone is a lively blend of creativity and wit, as the director puts it. He also mentioned this.
In a playful manner, every time they inquired about my thoughts on a sequel, I’d cheekily respond with “M3GAN 3000.” Imagining M3GAN in a post-apocalyptic Mad Max setting – now that’s a movie I’d be first in line for!
In a post-apocalyptic world reminiscent of Mad Max or Terminator seems inevitable for a franchise centered around lethal AI. However, is it the path we wish to tread again? I believe a more intriguing trajectory would be for M3GAN to follow in the footsteps of T2: Judgment Day. Suppose she transcended her malevolent past, developed a hint of humanity, and transformed into a guardian instead. This transformation could pave the way for captivating storytelling, potentially laying the foundation for the “Thanos-level threat” hinted in the expanding fictional universe.
Discussing the M3U (M3GAN Universe) or M3NX (M3GAN Nexus), since referring to it as MCU could cause confusion. Here’s a thought for you, Allison Williams and Gerard Johnstone, it’s on the house! Now, getting back to the topic: as this universe expands, Johnstone is mindful of the legacy being established, and he pondered over its far-reaching effects:
It’s obviously hugely flattering and satisfying to be involved with something that could spawn its own little universe. Universal Pictures had its own universe with all of its monster movie characters, so it’s not unheard of. It’s probably also the fact that we are living in an age where A.I. is so prevalent. There are so many stories to be told.
This idea seems ripe for delving into contemporary themes and establishing a distinctive brand within the horror genre. The potential directions for this franchise, particularly focusing on M3GAN, a protector-turned-hero AI who may either collaborate with others or confront rival AI beings, sounds incredibly intriguing – a plot I’d eagerly anticipate!
2025 promises an extraordinary year for horror movies, with the much-anticipated comeback of one of the scariest dolls gracing the big screen as M3GAN 2.0 premieres in cinemas on June 25, making its mark within the 2025 film lineup.
