It’s more M3GAN, more problems in the latest M3GAN trailer
The new teaser for the Allison Williams-led horror flick finds the chicest AI in town slaying once more, with newfound access to a butterfly-doored sports car
Aux News Women
A new teaser for M3GAN is here, and yet again cements the reality of our viciously fashionable AI heroine: she’s a bitch, she’s a lover, she’s a child, and (most importantly) she’s a mother. Audiences have seen M3GAN at her fitted-out, dance-floor-ready best— now, it’s time for a deeper dive into the many ways M3GAN will get her plastic hands dirty.
In the new trailer for the Allison Williams-led horror flick, released on Tuesday, M3GAN is just as dedicated to protecting Cady (Violet McGraw) from harm— but this time, she has a few more tools up her sleeve. Whether zipping away in an orange sports car or setting her murderous sights on Cady’s bully Dylan, M3GAN girlbosses through her existence like a regular self-made mogul.
Naturally, what exactly M3GAN is (doll? human? dancer?) starts to draw a rift between the orphaned Cady and her aunt Gemma. “You don’t get to say that!” Cady angrily responds when Gemma gently points out the AI is “not a person.” The only person who likes this qualification less than Cady is M3GAN—she makes sure to let Gemma know this by threatening her in their dimly-lit living room while dramatically tickling the ivories of a never-before-seen piano. This is just what cinema is supposed to be, I’m afraid!
If there’s one thing this new M3GAN trailer knows, it’s that if it’s not broke, don’t fix it. After M3GAN’s unhinged hallway dance break helped boost the first trailer’s virality back in October, the new teaser includes an expanded version of the scene (with a brand new backbeat for our heroine to menacingly move it to).
M3GAN lands in theaters on an appropriately chaotic date of January 6, 2023. No matter who your best friend is at the moment, it might be high time to let them know a blonde, dead-eyed replacement is only a month away.

Yes, please. I’ve been on a horror/thriller kick for the last two months and this looks like fun.
M3GAN is Ava from Wish
First time I saw the title of this movie, I thought it was a third The Meg movie but with a female shark.I’m very off.
I legit keep thinking it has something to do with Morgan.
Just keep your voice down; don’t give them any ideas!

They should do a crossover with M3GAN and the little girl from The Orphan, and then one with her vs the vampire girl from Let the Right One in
I just watched the original Let the Right one in. I thought the remake was pretty good but that was superlative.
Wasn’t the little girl from the Orphan an adult little person or dwarf?
Throw in some Mia Goth in her little Laura Ingles bonnet.
Man, I was so convinced that “chicest” was some sort of Zoomer neologism that I looked it up on Urban Dictionary.
“Most chic”But then again I thought first that it was just the latest in neo-AVClub’s cavalcade of typos.
Nah, it’s a pretty old word. Metallica had a song about destroying the chicest back in the 80s.
To clarify: I understand that it’s the superlative of “chic”; I just hadn’t seen “chicest” written before and it looks word.
Word!
NONE MORE CHIC
“What’s wrong with being chic-xy?”
Le freak, c’est chic!
That’s how I imagine clearing your throat would be spelled.
This movie looks hysterical, and the only thing that will keep me from seeing it as soon as I’m able to is if all the reviews say it’s actually extremely boring. Then I’ll put it off for a bit.
Do you think you’ll have a sandwich at some point during that time?
I don’t think about sandwiches that way
Just who the god damn hell spells it Cady?
It’s short for Cadeline.
And hello, Lindsay Lohan in Mean Girls.
That’s how Lohan’s character in Mean Girls is spelled. There’s even a plot point about it.
Cady, that’s who. Cady…did.
Elizabeth Cady Stanton for one. Do you think this is a misspelling of Katie? I think it’s an entirely different name. (not one I approve of, mind you).
out of curiosity, was the human,dancer line a really dorky “the killers” joke? because i appreciated it if it was.
I reckon so. That line has always stayed with me because it’s like … are those the only two options?
This kind of reminds me of that Aubrey Plaza movie from a few years back. She gets her kid this red head robot doll for his birthday and it goes crazy and starts killing people.
You a literally talking about the reboot of Childs Play as if it’s some random movie and a reboot of the most famous killer doll.
I know not everybody has heard of even the most famous franchises, but dude…
‘Member the one where Freddie Prinze’s kid and Vampire Girl had a very nice summer vacation?
Yes, I actually really liked the live-action Scooby Doo movies.
Ok, my suspension of disbelief broke when M3GAN sent that woman flying with a pressure washer as if it were a fire hose.
Give us Chucky vs. M3GAN!
Double Toasted’s reaction to the new Megan trailer lol

I don’t understand. Is this a second movie, or a third? M3Gan suggests a third, which weirds me out for a different reason, but all the information I can extract from this ad lib is that she’s BACK and ready to kill.
Sounds like an interest premise and style to sustain a good 42-45 minutes. Any more than that, and it’s too much.
Oh just realized it’s another nepo-baby. Old reliable: when you look up an actor, their parents are famous.
I wouldn’t let that weird looking thing near my child.
(I don’t have kids)
I think it would help if there’s a scene in which someone tells M3gan to “smile” more… or maybe not.
“ it might be high time to let them know a blonde, dead-eyed replacement is only a month away.”
You mean AM3ER HE@RD?
Maybe if the living room were better lit you could see the piano.
Ah, yes, the perfect January movie. Totally terrible, but probably stupid fun.
A lot of people are going to finish this article thinking it’s a sequel.
“an appropriately chaotic date of January 6, 2023″ – what the fuck does this mean
Honestly I am finding myself interested in this movie. Looks like a standard crazy robot movie and all but heck… if it’s done with style then that can be fun.
Yeah there’s real potential I think in intentionally using the uncanny valley, and if the physical work is as good as in Malignant it’ll be a heck of a time.
Ahhh… Malignant. One of those movies where it goes so far off the rails it lays new rails to go off of. I kinda loved it.
