James Wan already knows what could happen in a meetM3GAN sequel.
The new year is here, which means the very first premiere Friday of 2023 is upon us with the arrival of Blumhouse Productions and Atomic Monster’s M3GAN. From the first trailer drop – nay, the first mention of producer James Wan’s involvement – fans have been anxiously anticipating the new AI horror’s debut. Whether M3GAN will be a new genre icon is still yet to be determined, but the camp is undeniable, and according to Wan, she may already be looking at her very own sequel.
From the same writer of 2021’s runaway success Malignant, Akela Cooper, M3GAN is a sci-fi horror that stars Allison Williams as Gemma, a roboticist responsible for the design of a brand-new AI doll intended to be a child’s companion. When Gemma’s sister and brother-in-law are killed in a tragic accident, her niece Cady is put in the engineer’s care.
Ahead of the movie’s release, Collider’s Alyse Wax was able to speak to cast and crew members of M3GAN, including director Gerard Johnstone and Wan. During her interview with Johnstone, when asked what might be his next project, the filmmaker said, “Oh, well, there's talk of a sequel, but we'll have to wait and see.
“What I will say to that is, in any of my movies, whether it's The Conjuring Universe, or Saw, or Malignant, or M3GAN here, we like to think of a bigger world. For me, it's about creating the world, and knowing who the characters are, where the story could potentially go, and then building this bigger world, and then going into that and going, “Okay, I'm telling this particular story, but I know other stuff that's going on.
M3GAN pirouettes into theaters on January 6, 2023. For more from Wan, here's what he told us about The Conjuring 4 and his partnership with Blumhouse.
