M3GAN 2.0’s Confirmed Time Jump Shows the Series’ Timeline Doesn’t Make Sense

by

In the next installment, titled “M3GAN 2.0,” we’ll see the return of the menacing android that captivated audiences in the popular Blumhouse film, this time facing a new danger that only M3GAN (played by Amie Donald) can counteract. It’s exciting for fans to reconnect with their beloved murderous machine, but there’s an apparent contradiction in the sequel. Universal Pictures has set the timeline as just two years since the events of the original film, yet this doesn’t align with the age of one of the main characters. In the first movie, Cady (played by Violet McGraw) was a child when she interacted with M3GAN, but in “M3GAN 2.0,” she will be portrayed as a teenager.

In contrast to a child growing older by two years, as a twelve-year-old becoming a fourteen-year-old wouldn’t be the case for M3GAN in the franchise. Instead, an eight-year-old will age to fourteen over the course of two years. This discrepancy in Cady’s age between the first and second films might leave viewers perplexed if they recall details from the initial installment of the franchise. Could this be a plot oversight by Blumhouse or Universal Pictures? Or perhaps M3GAN 2.0 will unveil something unusual about Cady once it hits the big screen, sparking more questions among viewers. The upcoming sequel holds many answers that fans are eagerly waiting to discover.

In the next installment, we can expect the appearance of Cady’s aunt, Gemma (Allison Williams), who was alarmed when M3GAN transformed into a lethal robot in the previous storyline. However, the dynamic between them has shifted in the sequel as M3GAN remains committed to safeguarding Cady. The tight-knit family will encounter a new challenge with the arrival of Amelia (Ivanna Sakhno from Ahsoka), who aims to disrupt their peaceful existence. This upcoming android is more formidable than M3GAN, as its thirst for violence and control has taken over. In the film, we’ll witness a thrilling battle between the two robots on the big screen. As M3GAN tackles her new adversary, Gemma and Cady will strive to navigate their way out of this perilous situation safely.

In a return to the director’s chair, Gerard Johnstone pens and guides the narrative for “M3GAN 2.0”. Having made his mark following the initial “M3GAN” film, this project has provided Johnstone with consistent work in the entertainment industry. Blumhouse Production was particularly enthusiastic about the concept of a killer robot, leading to the success of the first movie. With “M3GAN” becoming an international box office sensation, the sequel “M3GAN 2.0” is now being developed by Blumhouse at a faster pace. The upcoming release coincides with the bustling summer movie season, in contrast to the January launch of the original franchise installment. Viewers can expect an intense confrontation between M3GAN and Amelia in this sequel. The storyline may also delve into the mystery surrounding Cady’s age amidst the action-packed scenes.

M3GAN 2.0 will premiere in theaters on June 27.
