Jenna Davis on Being the Voice of M3GAN and How She Claps Back at Haters

UNITED STATES, JUL 3 – M3GAN 2.0 shifts from horror to action and philosophy by examining AI weaponization and government misuse, with a rogue AI antagonist challenging creators, critics report.

  • Late last month, M3GAN 2.0 premiered at the end of June, arriving two and a half years after the original horror hit in January 2023.
  • Following the original's viral success, which grossed $180 million from a $12 million budget, Blumhouse quickly greenlit the sequel.
  • In this sequel, genre shifts to action, humor, and heart as AI weapon Amelia goes rogue, prompting Gemma and Cady to intervene.
  • Despite a soft $10 million domestic opening, Blumhouse founder Jason Blum acknowledged overconfidence contributed to the sequel underperforming at the box office.
  • Blumhouse plans a 2026 spinoff and upcoming sequels to 'The Black Phone 2' and 'Five Nights at Freddy’s 2,' indicating ongoing franchise expansion despite modest box office results.
