M3GAN doesn't have an end-credits scene because the movie tells a standalone story that works independently of any sequel. So, when the credits roll, you can enjoy the adrenaline rush and be happy you watched a great movie.
In the violent climax, the killer doll with a heart of titanium is cut down quite literally by her human family. She's scalped, torn in two, and then ultimately has her robot brain shattered by force.
Universal has confirmed that M3GAN 2.0 will be released on January 17, 2025 — assuming there are no delays. We don't yet have any further information on when the sequel will film. The first movie shot from June to August 2021 ahead of its January 2023 release, so expect a similar timeline for the sequel.
M3GAN Ending Explained | Full Movie Breakdown, Review And Megan 2 Sequel Theories
Is Megan based on a true story?
So, Megan is Missing is not real. It isn't based on one story, but a number of cases involving the disappearance and murder of minors and the use of the internet to groom and abduct children.
A quick summary, with light spoilers: M3gan is a robot doll who can do just about anything (walk, talk, twerk, murder). She's created by Gemma (Allison Williams), a work-obsessed roboticist who suddenly has to care for her orphaned niece Cady.
The film doesn't seem to specify any external influences which led to M3GAN becoming a violent murder doll — instead, it all seems to be a result of her nature as a learning machine with a core directive: Keep Cady safe, no matter what the cost. In M3GAN's eyes, she's just doing what she was programmed to do.
And while M3GAN looks very robotic, she is fully played by a person. Actually, two people. Amie Donald played M3GAN when it came to physical movements, while Jenna Davis did her voice work.
6. M3GAN is played by two actors. M3GAN came to life through a mixture of CGI, puppetry and real actors. Amie Donald performed the movements for M3GAN's body while wearing an animatronic mask, while Jenna Davis voiced the deadly doll.
the character of Megan. was created through a combination of animatronics, puppetry, VFX, and the real child actor. 12 year old New Zealand actress Amy Donald played Megan, while Jenna Davis provided the voice work. Donald used her extensive dance training.
What happens to Megan at the end of Megan is missing?
He then kidnaps her, and the movie ends with 22 minutes of camcorder footage of “Josh” imprisoning Amy, treating her like an animal, brutally raping her, revealing Megan's corpse to her, and finally burying her alive.
It's this learning quality that M3GAN exhibits that helped lead to her dancing moment. “The story is about an A.I. android that learns, and the more time she spends with the little girl, the more human qualities she picks up. Dancing is just one of the things that Cady teaches M3GAN to do,” Wan says.
cautionary tale: Gemma (Allison Williams), a robotics engineer, enlists her orphaned niece, Cady (Violet McGraw), to be a test-subject companion for a robot prototype named M3gan, short for Model 3 Generative Android.
I understand that some kids are more sensitive to other things and that's why common sense made the little things seem big. I said 12+ but really it doesn't matter. If you think you or your kid are mature enough to handle swearing or violence then I say go for it. And it wasn't a bad movie ether!
“There's no question that M3GAN would definitely win. She's much smarter than Chucky,” says Jason Blum, the powerhouse horror producer behind M3GAN and many other Blumhouse Productions. The other big-name producer of the movie, co-writer James Wan of The Conjuring and Malignant fame, was inclined to cut Chucky a break.
“M3GAN 2.0,” a sequel to Atomic Monster and Blumhouse's campy thriller, is officially in the works. Universal has scheduled the movie to debut in theaters on Jan. 17, 2025. Screenwriter Akela Cooper is returning to pen the sequel.
M3GAN is rated PG-13 by the MPAA for violent content and terror, some strong language and a suggestive reference. Violence: There are two fatal car accidents: injuries and a body bag are shown on screen. A dog attacks a child: injuries on her arm are seen and she is bandaged.
In the movie, Gemma, played by Allison Williams, suddenly gains custody of her orphaned niece, Cady, and creates M3gan — a life-like artificially intelligent doll — to serve as Cady's best friend and caretaker.
Which is why M3GAN director Gerard Johnstone crafted M3GAN the robot through a mix of VFX, a life-sized physical prop, the voice of Jenna Davis and the physical movement of child actor, Amie Donald. The result is spine-chilling, and often hilarious.
Its plot follows an artificially intelligent doll, who develops self-awareness and becomes hostile toward anyone who comes between her and her human companion.
It's definitely not real footage, as the director has said over and over again, but the realism doesn't make it any easier (the same way other films of its kind work). Just as TikTok and the wave of videos that sparked after modern audiences found out about Megan Is Missing.
