Ask me anything about the future, guys.

2025 seems surprisingly far away for this type of film. Assumed it would be out sometime next year.

AaronWilson · 01-18-2023, 09:05 PM

Well they need time to come up with a good story.

Jennifer Lawrence Fan · 01-18-2023, 10:36 PM

Yes! Figured that was a given. Nearly $100 million in 2 weeks on a $12 million dollar budget.

Well first and foremost it has to be written, and then if they bring back the cast they have to do it when they're available... after they've secured locations and crew and a director. Then post has to be done. Movies aren't that quick.

Plus 2025 is only 2 years away... which I get, I saw a headline earlier and was like wow that's a long way off... because it still feels like we should be in 2020 or something.

What will they call the third one?

I mean, 3 was already in the title of the first one, so I’m not sure.

master gandhi · 01-19-2023, 02:25 AM

Maybe there could be multiple M3GANs, so that’s the title. M3GANs.

Oh, MIIIGAN.

Okay, I’m done…for now.

The R3v3ng3 of M3GAN

No, but honestly, they’ll probably continue the upgrade theme with M3GAN 3.0.

unberechenbar · 01-19-2023, 04:45 AM

Feels like a long turnaround, given that other horror franchises can release movies new installments yearly.

Schwartzy · 01-20-2023, 09:56 AM

Needs to be R rated...

sanriel · 01-20-2023, 10:22 AM

Needs to be good.

Queer Icon M3GAN Is Coming Back For a M3GAN 2.0 Sequel

Today I learned M3GAN is apparently a queer icon now. Billy Eichner must be rolling in his movie's grave.
