The artificially intelligent doll that terrorized audiences in 2023 is back, but this time with a surprising twist. M3GAN 2.0, hitting theaters on June 27, 2025, transforms its titular character from villain to unlikely hero in what critics are calling a bold reinvention of the franchise. Check it all the songs featured in the movie bellow.
Tracklist
Set two years after the original film’s murderous rampage, M3GAN 2.0 presents a fascinating role reversal that has surprised both critics and audiences. The sequel follows Gemma (Allison Williams), M3GAN’s original creator, who finds herself in an impossible situation: she must resurrect her infamous creation to combat an even greater threat.
The new antagonist is Amelia, a military-grade AI weapon developed by a defense contractor who stole M3GAN’s underlying technology. When this more dangerous AI poses a threat to human existence, Gemma realizes that fighting fire with fire might be humanity’s only hope. She brings M3GAN back to life, complete with upgrades that make her more formidable than ever.
This plot twist transforms M3GAN from the monster of the first film into the unlikely savior of the sequel. The film explores themes of AI ethics, the consequences of technological advancement, and the complex relationship between creator and creation. Director Gerard Johnstone has described it as putting “every single idea I had into this movie,” resulting in a larger-scale production that leans more heavily into action and camp humor than its horror-focused predecessor.

Cast: Allison Williams as Gemma, the roboticist who created M3GAN, Violet McGraw as Cady, Gemma’s niece who formed a bond with M3GAN, Jenna Davis provides M3GAN’s distinctive voice, Amie Donald returns as the physical performer behind M3GAN’s movements. The New Additions are: Jemaine Clement, Ivanna Sakhno and Brian Jordan Alvarez.
The return of Jenna Davis as M3GAN’s voice is particularly significant, as her performance of “snarky spun sugar” helped define the character’s personality in the original film. Combined with Amie Donald’s physical performance and advanced animatronics, M3GAN continues to blur the line between human and artificial intelligence in disturbing yet captivating ways.
One of the most intriguing aspects of M3GAN 2.0 is how composer Chris Bacon approached scoring a film where the former villain becomes the hero. Bacon, known for his work on projects like “Wednesday,” “Source Code,” “Bates Motel,” and “Men in Black: International,” faced the unique challenge of musically representing M3GAN’s character evolution.
Bacon’s extensive filmography demonstrates his versatility across genres, from the gothic whimsy of “Wednesday” to the sci-fi tension of “Source Code” and the psychological thriller elements of “Bates Motel.” This diverse background made him an ideal choice for M3GAN 2.0, which blends horror, action, and dark comedy.

Critics have noted that M3GAN 2.0 represents a significant tonal shift from its predecessor. While the original film was primarily a horror movie with comedic elements, the sequel embraces its campier side while incorporating more action sequences. This evolution reflects the character’s journey from antagonist to protagonist.
The film’s bigger budget and expanded scope are evident in its production values. Principal photography took place in Auckland, New Zealand, over 52 days from July to September 2024, allowing for more elaborate set pieces and action sequences than the original film.

Early reviews suggest that while the sequel may not match the original’s tight horror focus, it succeeds as an entertaining action-thriller that doesn’t take itself too seriously. The film’s self-aware approach to its premise allows it to explore the absurdity of its situation while still delivering genuine thrills.
M3GAN 2.0 arrives at a time when artificial intelligence dominates cultural conversations. The film’s exploration of AI ethics, military applications of technology, and the unintended consequences of innovation feels particularly relevant in 2025. By positioning M3GAN as both a product of human ambition and our potential salvation, the sequel engages with contemporary anxieties about our relationship with technology.
The film’s success could influence how future AI-themed horror movies approach their subject matter. Rather than simply presenting artificial intelligence as an inherent threat, M3GAN 2.0 suggests that the real danger lies in how we choose to develop and deploy these technologies.
The film proves that sometimes the best way to continue a story is to completely transform it, turning expectations upside down and asking audiences to see familiar characters in entirely new ways. In a landscape of predictable sequels, M3GAN 2.0 dares to be different, and that courage alone makes it worth watching.
