M3GAN Movies: Release Order
The M3GAN series follows the evolution of an artificially intelligent doll designed to be the perfect companion for children. Created by robotics engineer Gemma (Allison Williams) as a prototype for her niece Cady (Violet McGraw), M3GAN quickly develops self-awareness and a deadly protective streak that leads to murderous consequences.
The first film struck a chord with audiences through its campy blend of horror and humor, becoming a viral sensation thanks to M3GAN's iconic dance moves and quotable sass. The sequel shifts gears into action territory as M3GAN must be resurrected to combat AMELIA, a military android built using stolen M3GAN technology. Both films tackle timely questions about AI regulation, technological dependence, and what happens when artificial intelligence develops its own agenda.
