Summary
Dolls with dead eyes and perfect hair and clothing are a dime a dozen in thehorrorgenre. ButBlumhouse’s killer dollM3GANis special, and nowEntertainment Weeklyhas shareda new image of this popular character.
In the photo,the M3GAN doll is wearing a blue coat and has perfectly styled hair, which is her usual look. Her blue eyes look even bigger than usual, and she appears to be plotting something evil.
Jenna Davis is voicing M3GAN once again, andthe sequel, which was announced in 2023, also featuresAllison Williams as Gemma and Violet McGraw as Cady. The other cast members include Jen Van Epps, Jemaine Clement, Brian Jordan Alvarez, Timm Sharp, and Aristotle Athari. As is often the case with a horror movie cast, these actors will likely be victims, although they will no doubt battle M3GAN and try their best to survive.
The M3GAN doll kills a few peoplein the first movie, and since she’s so sneaky, there’s no doubt that the sequel will deliver all the surprises audiences are hoping for. Afterthe ending of the originaland the overwhelmingly positive reaction,it was clear that Blumhouse would continue the franchise. The production company is known for releasing a lot of original horror movies each year, and they have quite a few sequels being developed. Another popular one isThe Black Phone 2, which has cast new actorsrecently.
From Johnstone’s interview withEntertainment Weekly,it sounds like fans can look forward to seeing the evil doll in a few different outfits, which will be fun. This would make M3GAN feel even more real than she already does, which is a terrifying thought. The director said:
“She’s a living doll, and part of the fun of having a doll is being able to play dress-up. We had a couple of looks in the first film, but I wanted 10 different looks for M3GAN. For the sequel, I felt like here’s a chance to do that.”
There’s always a fine line between giving fans what they want in a horror sequel and making sure that it feels distinct. As Williams toldEntertainment Weekly,“the fan service thing is so tempting.” Sometimes a horror sequel has a lot to answer for, likethe upcomingI Know What You Did Last Summerlegacy sequel. In the case of this killer doll,M3GANtold a satisfying story about an innocent doll ruining the lives of everyone around them, and fans can’t wait to see what she does next. The sky could be the limit with this story. Why not make aM3GAN 3.0or even aM3GAN 4.0?
