The spooky and unsettling movie M3gan is getting a sequel, and its story will dig further into the world of artificial intelligence. Producer James Wan told Empire Magazine that it’s still early days for the M3gan sequel, but he said “M3gan is coming back in a big way.”
“The first film came just at the right time [when concerns about AI were mounting], and we’re definitely leaning into that on the next one. We’re exploring the AI universe even further,” he said, as reported by Collider.
M3gan is about a super-advanced mechanical doll that comes to life and kills people. It’s a story that’s been told many times over, dating back decades, but with the proliferation of artificial intelligence these days, the idea of a robot rising up and killing us is maybe more concerning.
