Trailer: The New Anti-Hero ‘MEGAN 2.0’

0

Universal Pictures just dropped the sequel trailer to the 2023 hit M3GAN!!! The ‘M3GAN 2.0’ trailer looks like fun as it is seem they have complete embraced the humor and popularity of homicidal doll Megan.

This time around Megan has a sinister arch rival Amelia. A military-grade weapon who is on a rampage against humanity. And all hope falls on Megan who is currently trapped in a small Teletubby robot body.

Here is the synopsis: “Two years after M3GAN, a marvel of artificial intelligence, went rogue and embarked on a murderous (and impeccably choreographed) rampage and was subsequently destroyed, M3GAN’s creator Gemma (Allison Williams) has become a high-profile author and advocate for government oversight of A.I. Meanwhile, Gemma’s niece Cady (Violet McGraw), now 14, has become a teenager, rebelling against Gemma’s overprotective rules.

Unbeknownst to them, the underlying tech for M3GAN has been stolen and misused by a powerful defense contractor to create a military-grade weapon known as Amelia (Ivanna Sakhno; Ahsoka, Pacific Rim: Uprising), the ultimate killer infiltration spy. But as Amelia’s self-awareness increases, she becomes decidedly less interested in taking orders from humans. Or in keeping them around.

With the future of human existence on the line, Gemma realizes that the only option is to resurrect M3GAN (Amie Donald, voiced by Jenna Davis) and give her a few upgrades, making her faster, stronger, and more lethal. As their paths collide, the original A.I bitch is about to meet her match.”

My first reaction after seeing the trailer is: WOW! Blumhouse is attempt to flipping the script by taking a villain of the story and making the killer a anti-hero just like in ’Don’t Breathe 2’. An attempt that failed. But this time it is not an old blind man but a young and vibrant killer robot that connected well with mainstream viewers. The trailer is very “CLEAN CUT” and at times feels like I’m watching a combination of “Spy Kids” meets “Power Rangers”. I’ll give it a chance because I did like the first one.

M3GAN 2.0 is “Slaying” on June 27, 2025.
