10 Upcoming Horror Movies With INCREDIBLE Plots
9. M3GAN 2.0
One-upping a film as gleefully chaotic as M3GAN is no easy feat, but the impending sequel to the killer AI doll movie is primed to be the epic Terminator 2 to the original's Terminator.
M3GAN 2.0's loony premise takes place two years after the first picture's events, where M3GAN's (Amie Donald/Jenna Davis) AI tech has been stolen by a defense contractor and used to develop a spy robot, Amelia (Ivanna Sakhno).
Amelia then quite predictably goes all Skynet, becoming self-aware and planning to take over the world, at which point humanity arrives at one conclusion - the only person capable of defeating Amelia is M3GAN.
So, original protagonist Gemma (Allison Williams) rebuilds an upgraded M3GAN to do battle with Amelia and, hopefully, save the world from annihilation.
Many great sequels make the original seem positively quaint by comparison, and the end-of-the-world stakes here definitely seem to do that, while amusingly resurrecting M3GAN as a more heroic character working for humanity - at least in theory.
As long as it maintains the wildly campy tone of its predecessor, M3GAN 2.0 should be a damn blast.
