Who would have thought that if you put an unexpectedly killer AI in an American Girl doll, there might be some drawbacks and unexpected consequences? That, more or less, is the plot of M3GAN, which is about a roboticist who becomes the caretaker of her orphaned niece, and sees an opportunity. Things do not go well.
M3GAN is directed by Gerard Johnstone (Housebound), and written by Akela Cooper (Malignant, The Nun 2). The film’s cast includes 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) and Stephane Garneau-Monten (Straight Forward).
