The release date of Blumhouse’s M3GAN 2.0 movie has been postponed

Not long after Blumhouse’s killer AI robot horror film M3GAN became a box office success with $180 million at the box office, they immediately greenlit a sequel M3GAN 2.0 and set the release date for January 2025. Well, while they were hoping for that release date, the film was delayed and will now be released on May 16, 2025.

Allison Williams AND Violet McGraw they are ready to resume their roles, with Akela Cooper (Malignant, M3GAN) once again writing the screenplay and James Wan on board to produce.

When previously there was talk of the sequel, the producer James Wan he joked: “It’s still early, but M3GAN is coming back in a big way. The first movie came at just the right time” [when concerns about AI were mounting], and we’ll definitely focus on that for the next one. We are exploring the universe of artificial intelligence even further.”

During a previous interview with the director Gerard Johnstone spoke about the sequel and when asked if he would try to replicate the viral aspects of the first film, he said:

“I think if you do that, you’re setting yourself up to fail, and the audience will feel it a mile away. I think for me, what works in the movie and what I think people respond to is that it’s funny and absurd. and full of many pleasant surprises.”

“And so looking at the sequel, these are my role models that I’m just trying to follow, how can we continue to be funny, absurd, surprising, but at the same time make sure that we continue to belong?” of cultural conversation, I guess. Other than dance, we’re not too heavy-handed about it, but there are themes about co-parenting in the age of artificial intelligence and things like that. So it’s important to have some substance to hang all those dance sequences on.”

The first movie was really a lot of fun and it will be fun to see how they continue that story.
