Is there a M3GAN 2.0 trailer?
The first teaser trailer for M3GAN 2.0 dropped during the 2025 Grammy Awards. While brief, it confirmed that the original M3GAN will be back, albeit with a slightly fresh look and some upgrades.
On the big screen at the 2024 New York Comic Con, the sassy robot showed up in video form. She told the crowd she’d been “upgraded”, and that she’d see us “nerds in June.”
What do we know about the plot?
The first plot details for M3GAN 2.0 were revealed alongside the sequel’s first teaser trailer at the 2025 Grammy Awards.
M3GAN 2.0 will take place two years after the events of the first film. In this time, Gemma has become an advocate for government oversight of A.I and is also a high-profile author. Her niece Cady, now 14-years-old, is a rebelling teenage struggling to handle Gemma’s extensive rules and restrictions.
After discovering that the government has stolen the technology from M3GAN and created their own AI weapon called Amelia, Gemma is forced to resurrect the original robot to face-off against Amelia after it starts refusing to take orders.
Blumhouse PicturesJason Blum, CEO of Blumhouse Productions, took to the stage at CinemaCon in April 2023 to discuss the project, and while he kept quiet about plot details, he does believe M3GAN has a long life ahead of her.
He told attendants that “hopefully we’ll see many M3GANs… to come.”
