M3GAN 2.0 is nearly here, but talks of a spinoff movie are already underway thanks to a recent announcement from Blumhouse Studios. It has already been confirmed that M3GAN 2.0 is not the last film in the M3GAN franchise, and while it will continue on, it isn’t yet known if the story of the тιтular character will be continued alongside it.
Screen Rant’s Liam Crowley at the M3GAN 2.0 red carpet premiere event, Blumhouse Productions CEO Jason Blum was asked about whether or not M3GAN will appear in SOULM8TE, the upcoming M3GAN spinoff. The film will follow a man who buys an android woman after the death of his wife. If M3GAN is anything to go by, things will go horribly wrong.
Blum declined to answer whether or not M3GAN would appear in SOULM8TE, saying that the spinoff is a “distant cousin” of the original two films. According to Blum, “SOULM8TE has a very different feel from the two M3GAN movies,” implying that M3GAN may not fit into the story. However, it is still up in the air whether she will show up. Here is Blum’s full response:
Well, this is a distant cousin. SOULM8TE is an R-rated movie. I can’t say whether M3GAN is in the movie or not, but SOULM8TE has a very different feel from the two M3GAN movies.
What Blum’s Comments Mean For SOULM8TE
Does M3GAN Have A Chance To Appear In The Spinoff?
Based on Jason Blum’s comments, it seems like M3GAN will not play a major role in the story of SOULM8TE. If she was a main character, it would be hard to keep that under wraps. However, that doesn’t destroy the possibility of her appearing entirely.
M3GAN could have a cameo in SOULM8TE, as it is possible that the two androids could come from the same company. Depending on how M3GAN 2.0 ends, she could become an android hunter, with her going after the тιтular robot in the spinoff.
However, her not appearing at all may be a good thing. If SOULM8TE wants to be tonally different, as its darker premise makes it seem, having the comedic girlboss android show up could hurt this tone. Instead, letting SOULM8TE be its own thing would allow the franchise to expand beyond the series’ main character.
Our Take On M3GAN’s Appearance In SOULM8TE
M3GAN Probably Shouldn’t Appear
I think it would be better for M3GAN to not appear in SOULM8TE at all. It would be hard for a cameo not to feel forced, and it would prevent the spinoff from feeling like its own thing, as Blum seems to imply that it is.
However, having M3GAN appear would undoubtedly help SOULM8TE. The spinoff could use M3GAN to market the movie, further tying it into the existence and potential success of M3GAN 2.0.
