Currently on Digital and coming to 4K Ultra HD and Bluray from writer/director Gerard Johnstone and Universal Pictures Home Entertainment is the return of M3GAN 2.0.
It has been a few years as Gemma (Allison Williams) has now become a writer and spends her time advocating for AI regulation while working with cybersecurity expert Christian (Aristotle Athari). Cady (Violet McGraw) is growing up quickly and is following a bit in her aunt’s footsteps studying computer science. Their life is a bit more normal than previously when Gemma learns that the military and a Col. Sattler (Timm Sharp) have an android named Amelia (Ivanna Sakhno) that has gone a bit rogue.
Gemma is worried for Cady and attempts to find ways of protecting her from anything that comes into their home. What she didn’t count on was that M3gan (Amie Donald) is in her home as well and it is her presence in their smart house that warns of what is to come. Offering to help, she convinces Gemma to find her a ‘body’ to help gain access to the information they need. Hacking into the system, M3gan gets them all home, including Gemma, Cole (Brian Jordan Alvarez) and Tess (Jen Van Epps) and shows them a way to create a, well, super M3gan that can take on Amelia.
Secrets are coming out left and right as Gemma and Cady try to keep up with what is actually happening and how to stop it. When Cady is taken, the one thing Gemma knows is very true – M3gan will do whatever is necessary to keep Cady safe and that means no one or nothing will get in her way – no one or nothing.
Williams as Gemma has tried to bring a stable home together after the last run in with M3gan. Writing a book and speaking out for accountability in AI creation and use, having to return to a bad time just wasn’t on her bingo card. Her character of Gemma is smart, a bit of a wisecrack when necessary and trying to be a good role model for Cady and M3gan can test all of that. McGraw as Cady is in her teenage eye-rolling heavy-sigh I-know-best era which always drives me a bit crazy. McGraw does give her character a tough exterior while pretty much being a softie in the middle.
Athari as Christian was Gemma to be a part of the work they are doing and isn’t happy when Gemma rather be on her own. Athari gives us a slick and smart character that really doesn’t know what he’s getting into. Sharp as Sattler is gunning for Gemma without actually understanding what he is doing but then again, you can’t tell a government guy anything.
Donald as M3gan is just stunning as this character. She has all the right moves and with the help of Davis’ voice, they make a perfect good/bad bot. Alvarez as Cole is the bumbling dude who works with Gemma but carries a few chips on his shoulder. Van Epps as Tess also works with Cole and Gemma and is the calmer of the two focused only on stopping Amelia.
Shout out to Jenna Davis as the stunning voice of M3gan. Her humor and horror is unmistakable in that voice and we love it! Also, Jemaine Clement as Alton Appleton showing corruption has its price.

M3GAN 2.0, especially the unrated version, will give fans a little more than they expected. The little robot turns into a bit of a John Wick in dancing shoes and a humor setting that is really good. The action and fight scenes are set in some pretty cool settings and nothing gets in the way of it all. The cast reuniting for the film makes it so much more fun to watch and definitely should be on the Saturday night cozy couch double feature.
We are definitely M3GAN fans and M3GAN 2.0 turned out to be even more fun than the first film that came out in 2022. Don’t keep up waiting for a follow up!
In the end – she can never be erased!
