If any piece of media deserves the moniker of “Femininomenon” it would be 2023 smash hit M3GAN. In case you didn’t remember, the film’s latest trailer works really hard to remind audiences of how much fun they had the first time around. There’s a whole lot going on in this new, less than 3-minute-long clip. The Chappell Roan song plays throughout, as well as Britney Spears’ “Oops, I Did It Again.” There’s a new killer robot introduced. M3GAN grows a few inches and gets a bob-tacular makeover. There’s murder (lots of it), a brand new dance, and frequent use of the word “bitch.” At one point, M3GAN tells her uneasy human allies to “hold on to [their] vaginas.” 

All of the above would probably be pretty fun on its own, but taken together the effect is… a bit overwhelming, to say the least. That’s not to say that the film won’t be as entertaining as the first—we won’t know until we see it—but right now, the trailer raises some concern that M3GAN’s programmers may be trying to play a song with too many fucking beats. 

We’ll see when M3GAN 2.0 sashays into theaters June 27. In the meantime, here’s the official plot description:

Two years after M3GAN, a marvel of artificial intelligence, went rogue and embarked on a murderous (and impeccably choreographed) rampage and was subsequently destroyed, M3GAN’s creator Gemma (Allison Williams) has become a high-profile author and advocate for government oversight of A.I. Meanwhile, Gemma’s niece Cady (Violet McGraw), now 14, has become a teenager, rebelling against Gemma’s overprotective rules.

Unbeknownst to them, the underlying tech for M3GAN has been stolen and misused by a powerful defense contractor to create a military-grade weapon known as Amelia (Ivanna Sakhno), the ultimate killer infiltration spy. But as Amelia’s self-awareness increases, she becomes decidedly less interested in taking orders from humans. Or in keeping them around.

With the future of human existence on the line, Gemma realizes that the only option is to resurrect M3GAN (Amie Donald, voiced by Jenna Davis) and give her a few upgrades, making her faster, stronger, and more lethal. As their paths collide, the original A.I bitch is about to meet her match.
