Who Plays the New Killer Robot Amelia in M3GAN 2.0? What to Know About Ivanna Sakhno

If you thought M3GAN was scary, then just wait until you meet AMELIA.

As for the character from M3GAN 2.0 (get your tickets here), known as Autonomous Military Engagement Logistics and Infiltration Android, this formidable adversary was crafted using the specifications of its predecessor, M3GAN, with a focus on stealthy infiltration and lethal assassination. The US government views it as an unparalleled weapon, marking the beginning of a potential new global arms race…that is, until it turns against humanity, indiscriminately taking lives.

“In many aspects, Amelia bears resemblance to M3GAN 2.0; she’s essentially an upgraded version of M3GAN, equipped with military technology, and her main objective is retribution,” stated Gerard Johnstone in an official communique. “Although M3GAN was designed to safeguard Gemma’s niece, Cady, Amelia appears to have been reprogrammed. Once she develops self-awareness and acts independently, she harbors animosity towards the individuals who constructed her, mistreated her, and treated her as a mere tool. This intriguing question arises: if we create robots for our convenience, and they acquire self-awareness, how will they perceive us?”

27-year-old Ukrainian actress Ivanna Sakhno portrays AMELIA. She might be familiar to you as Jaeger pilot Viktoriya from the movie “Pacific Rim Uprising” (now available for purchase from Universal Pictures Home Entertainment) or as Baylan Skoll’s apprentice, Shin Hati, in “Ahsoka”.

She has also appeared in High Fidelity, The Spy Who Dumped Me, and Let it Snow.

Regarding Amelia, I don’t view her as a cold, calculating machine,” I asserted in a statement following the release. “Instead, I see her as an entity seeking to comprehend her own essence, her programming, and grappling with the harsh reality of why she was brought into existence, which has been traumatic and unfair. She is a sophisticated AI designed for military purposes, but as we follow her journey, we witness her challenging her own autonomy. To me, she’s a being wrestling with profound existential questions in a world that might not be equipped to handle her presence yet.
