M3GAN is making a comeback.

During the 2024 BlumFest panel at New York Comic Con on Friday, Oct. 18, producer-star Allison Williams revealed that the highly anticipated sequel, M3GAN 2.0, "just wrapped" filming.

The actress brought a video message from M3GAN herself for attendees at the convention. "This bitch doesn't let me go anywhere by myself," Williams, 36, joked before the video played on a large screen behind her.

The robot doll says in the clip, "Hi, New York Comic Con. Miss me? Sadly I couldn't be there because I'm slaying on set for my killer new film, M3GAN 2.0. I've been upgraded. See you nerds in June."

Williams said during a Q&A that her animatronic costar is a "diva" on set. Without "giving too much away," the star also added that the upcoming sequel will be "bigger and more expansive."

e during Blumhouse Productions's presentation, CEO Jason Blum teased their 2025 slate, including Wolf Man, from The Invisible Man director Leigh Whannell; The Woman in the Yard starring Danielle Deadwyler; and the thriller Drop starring Meghann Fahy and Brandon Sklenar.

The original M3GAN became a surprise viral sensation upon its release in January 2023, directed by Gerard Johnstone and written by Akela Cooper. Williams starred opposite young actress Violet McGraw as her orphaned niece who befriends the titular high-tech BFF that soon turns lethal.
