M3GAN: 2.0 is the latest horror movie from Blumhouse, but getting more sequels depends on one major (but expected) condition. The original M3GAN revolves around an AI companion robot, designed by Gemma (Allison Williams) to protect her niece Cady (Violet McGraw), who famously goes on a murderous tear. The sequel premiered on June 27, 2025, and has audiences divided, earning a 58% on Rotten Tomatoes. Directed once again by Gerard Johnstone, M3GAN 2.0 sees Gemma bringing M3GAN back to defeat a military android, AMELIA, played by Ivanna Sakhno.
During a recent interview with Entertainment Weekly, producer James Wan teased what would need to happen for more M3GAN movies. As Wan explained, should M3GAN 2.0 perform “well enough,” more sequels could eventually be made. Read his comments below:
Listen, fingers crossed. Let’s hope the second one does well enough that we can get more M3GANs.
What James Wan’s Comment Means For M3GAN 2.0
Audiences May Decide If Future Sequels Get Made
How audiences respond to a movie, and how much money it makes, are usually essential factors for sequels. When M3GAN premiered, it garnered praise and became embraced by genre fans. The blend of comedy and horror, and some viral moments, including dancing sequences, contributed to M3GAN‘s commercial success. The first film generated over $180 million globally and earned a 93% Tomatometer score, which signaled that it could grow into a mᴀssive franchise.
As mentioned, M3GAN 2.0 presently holds a 58% score, notably lower than M3GAN. However, audiences have been enjoying M3GAN 2.0, as evidenced by the 85% Popcornmeter, and because the movie is a newer release, tracking that percentage should be key. The comment from Wan also suggests that box office numbers may have a large influence on sequel development, and the financial outcome will reflect how popular M3GAN is, more than two years later.
Our Take On Potential M3GAN Sequels
Where Else Could The Horror Franchise Go?
M3GAN 2.0 is different from the original, and due to its incorporating AMELIA and a lot more action, audiences have seen some parallels to Terminator 2: Judgment Day. Those changes demonstrate how future sequels could employ M3GAN in unique ways, and there are many iconic franchises, including Chucky, that may make for successful, and horrifying, pairings. There is already a spinoff movie, SOULM8TE, on the way, that might continue expanding the world of M3GAN.
Should another film get made, it could potentially explore more genres or even feature elements of SOULM8TE, especially if the spinoff becomes a hit. Time will tell if M3GAN 2.0 gets a sequel, but in the meantime, keeping track of audience reception and box office performance may provide some idea of where the franchise is at.
