The titular character of the upcoming horror movie, ‘M3gan,’ is proving that she’s more than a toy – she’s part of the family – in the feature’s newly released second official trailer. Universal Pictures<\/a> unveiled earlier today the latest trailer for the sci-fi thriller, which the studio will distribute in theaters on January 6, 2023.<\/p>\n

‘M3gan’ follows the exploits of the titular artificial intelligence, which is a life-like doll that’s programmed to be a child’s greatest companion and a parent’s greatest ally. Designed by brilliant toy company roboticist Gemma (‘Get Ou<\/a>t’s Allison Williams), M3gan can listen, watch and learn as she becomes friend, teacher and protector for the child she is bonded to.<\/p>\n

When Gemma suddenly becomes the caretaker of her orphaned 8-year-old niece, Cady (Violet McGraw, ‘The Haunting of Hill House’), Gemma’s unsure and unprepared to be a parent. Under intense pressure at work, Gemma decides to pair her M3gan prototype with Cady in an attempt to resolve both problems \u2014 a decision that will have unimaginable consequences.<\/p>\n

The film was produced by Jason Blum<\/a> and James Wan (‘The Conjuring’ franchise, ‘Malignant’), and executive produced by Williams. ‘M3gan’ was directed by award-winning filmmaker Gerard Johnstone (‘Housebound’). The drama was written by Akela Cooper (‘Malignant,’ ‘The Nun 2’), who created the story with Wan.<\/p>\n

‘M3gan’ also stars Ronny Chieng (‘Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings’), Brian Jordan Alvarez (‘Will & Grace’), Jen Van Epps (‘Cowboy Bebop’), Lori Dungey (‘The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring,’ extended edition) and Stephane Garneau-Monten (‘Straight Forward’).<\/p>\n
