See How ‘M3GAN 2.0’ Built Itself a Bigger, Better M3GAN

For better or worse, M3GAN’s sophomore outing in M3GAN 2.0 brought with it much more action-packed mania than the killer-doll horrors of the original. That, and of course the awkward inconvenience of M3GAN’s body being destroyed in the climax of the first film, meant her return for round two needed a mechanical do-over… including a few upgrades for good measure. Now that M3GAN 2.0 is heading home digitally today, you can see just how the team behind the movie made those upgrades to make the all

Blumhouse Thinks It May Have Overestimated M3GAN’s Versatility

After the smash success of 2022’s M3GAN, it was easy to assume the inevitable sequel would do the same. But M3GAN 2.0 has yet to catch on like its predecessor, so far yielding disappointing box-office returns and putting talk of a trilogy, not to mention a M3GAN cinematic universe beyond next year’s sexbot spin-off, SOULM8TE, in doubt. In a new interview, Blumhouse boss Jason Blum shared his thoughts on the disappointing situation. On The Town podcast (via the Wrap), Blum ticked off the reasons

Could Nubia Be Joining James Gunn’s DCU?

Cynthia Erivo and Michael Bay may be teaming up for a new sci-fi thriller. Somehow, the public domain horror movies have returned. Ivanna Sakhno talks about her hopes for a M3GAN 3.0. Plus, what’s coming on Revival. Spoilers, away! Saturation Point According to Deadline, Universal and Michael Bay’s Platinum Dunes have teamed with Cynthia Ervo’s production company, Edith’s Daughter, on a film adaptation of Adrian Tchaikovsky’s sci-fi/action/thriller, Saturation Point. Adapted for the screen by

M3gan 2.0 is a fun upgrade that’s a little too self-aware

is a reporter focusing on film, TV, and pop culture. Before The Verge, he wrote about comic books, labor, race, and more at io9 and Gizmodo for almost five years. Universal and Blumhouse’s first M3gan feature came out of nowhere with a premise so ridiculous and campy that it was hard not to be at least a little intrigued. Equal parts Child’s Play and Small Wonder, M3gan was undeniably silly with its story about an AI-powered doll who sang Sia’s “Titanium” and danced around as she chopped people

James Wan Knows You’re Dying for Details About That R-Rated ‘M3GAN’ Sexbot Spin-Off

Everyone’s favorite kill-crazy toy not named Chucky is back in theaters June 27, and if M3GAN 2.0 captures audiences like the 2023 original did, a third film seems all but guaranteed. But before a trilogy might happen, another film in M3GAN’s universe will arrive: SOULM8TE, the previously announced R-rated spin-off that will examine the dangers of AI from a more grown-up perspective. In new interviews, producer James Wan and M3GAN star Allison Williams (an executive producer on SOULM8TE) spille

‘M3GAN 2.0’ Is an Antihero Upgrade, But at a Cost

M3GAN 2.0 delivers a bloody slay of a sequel, one that elevates Blumhouse’s sci-fi horror darling and gives its icon an action-packed upgrade–one that works, albeit at the expense of the original’s horror roots. You can’t keep a killer down, or a killer doll for that matter, as the end of the first film teased, as 2.0 opens with M3GAN (voiced by Jenna Davis, and physically portrayed by Amie Donald) having taken refuge in the cloud after he defeat. In the sequel, we discover that while Gemma (Al

M3GAN 2.0 review: The AI camp queen pulls a Terminator 2

M3GAN was an unexpected hit, and for good reason: It was the best killer toy horror film since Child's Play, combining comedy and camp with a meme-worthy android lead. For the sequel, writer/director Gerard Johnstone (working off a story from him and the first film's writer Akela Cooper), have taken a few notes from Terminator 2. This time around, there's an even more evil android on the scene (Amelia, played by Ivanna Sakhno) who wants AI to rule the world. And there's only one somewhat less ev
