The film was nominated in three categories at the 2023 Golden Trailer Awards: "Family" (Inside Job) for Best Horror, and "Bringing Life To M3GAN" (The Fabulous Group) and "Meet M3GAN" (Paradise Creative) for Best Digital – Horror / Thriller. The first trailer was released on October 11, 2022, set to Taylor Swift's " It's Nice to Have a Friend". Gemma and Cady struggle to connect until Cady discovers Bruce, a motion capture robot that Gemma created. Cady saves Gemma, using Bruce to tear M3GAN apart, but M3GAN's top half remains active and attacks Cady.

When Williams and McGraw escalate displeasure during dinner arguments or backseat tantrums, maternal tension holds steady. Blumhouse's decision to assure M3GAN's PG-13 rating through reshoots isn't a dealbreaker, but detracts from the already lesser emphasis on nightmarish scares, unlike Drag Me To Hell or Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark (also PG-13'ers). Late Night With The Devil is an exhilarating demonstration of how the horror genre continues to present new and exciting storytelling. Before exiting the building, M3GAN kills David and his assistant Kurt in an elevator, staging it as a murder–suicide.Akela Cooper ( Malignant, The Nun 2, Luke Cage) wrote the script that is based on a story by James Wan, and Gerard Johnstone ( Housebound) will direct the film. Gemma becomes suspicious of M3GAN and attempts to check her video logs, only to find the files corrupted or deleted. A robotics engineer at a toy company builds a life-like doll that begins to take on a life of its own.

Gemma attempts to stop M3GAN, damaging and disfiguring her in the process, but M3GAN ultimately overpowers her. A few weeks later, Universal set a release date of January 17, 2025, with the title revealed as M3GAN 2. Horror always has a big presence at CinemaCon, so make sure to keep it locked here all week for all the news, trailers, and more coming out of the show that Kaitlyn brings us from the show.That's why she dazzles as the titular tyrant ready to rumble in the name of hardcoded primary user love, even at a detriment to the scenes where she's relegated obsolete. When Gemma becomes the unexpected caretaker of her 8-year-old niece, she decides to pair the girl with a M3GAN prototype, a decision that leads to unimaginable consequences. No release date has been announced just yet, but we can expect a theatrical release followed by a Shudder streaming debut soon. On January 8, 2023, Williams revealed that she and the marketing team at Universal had debated whether to include the scene in the trailer or save it for when audiences saw the film in theaters.
