M3GAN 2 director teases new looks, big action, and a botload of zeitgeist as campy first trailer drops: "[She] didn't wanna be put in a box, and the film's the same way"

Amie Donald as M3GAN in sci-fi horror M3GAN 2.0.

Everyone's favorite blonde bot returns in the first trailer for M3GAN 2.0 – and she's gotten a serious upgrade. Not only is the titular doll's new body literally stronger, faster, and taller than her previous shell, the sequel looks to be leaning into sci-fi action in a big way, offering up something much more ambitious and bombastic than its domestic horror-style predecessor.

Two years on from trying to kill her creator Gemma (Allison Williams), in the name of protecting her companion Cady (Violet McGraw), M3GAN has been given a new body in the fresh flick, on the promise of protecting her human "pals" from an even more sinister android. Think Terminator 2: Judgment Day meets The Silence of the Lambs, with dance sequences and sassy one-liners thrown in for good measure.
