M3GAN 2.0 Plot: New Android Threat Emerges
Universal gave the green light to two new stories from this AI-gone-wrong universe after the film’s strong performance. The first is M3GAN 2.0, which continues the saga two years after the original. This time, the threat is Amelia, a military-grade android built using M3GAN’s own tech. She turns against her creators, putting Gemma in her sights once again. M3GAN, now in a harmless form, offers to help stop Amelia, but only if she gets upgraded.
According to Collider, familiar faces are returning for the sequel, like Violet McGraw as Cady, Brian Jordan Alvarez as Cole, and Jen Van Epps as Tess, while Gerard Johnstone is back in the director’s seat. Ivanna Sakhno plays the new rogue android, bringing a fresh twist to the AI horror.
In addition to the sequel, there’s also a spin-off called SOULM8TE, which is set for release in January 2026. This one revolves around a man who turns to an AI doll after losing his wife. The film, directed by Kate Dolan, stars Lily Sullivan, David Rysdahl, and Claudia Doumit.
