Who Desires An “Erotic Thriller” M3GAN Spinoff?
Nicely, it is a alternative. Blumhouse is the manufacturing firm behind many latest horror hits each scary and foolish, typically each without delay — like after we received M3GAN. The scheming, boogie-dancing she-bot captured the hearts of the world and gained a deal for an instantaneous sequel (effectively, not IMMEDIATE). Regardless that we don’t have that sequel but, Blumhouse is already considering “spinoff.”
And right here’s the place it will get bizarre. The proposed movie is named Soulm8te (discover the 8), an “erotic thriller” set within the “M3GAN Universe” a few man who, just like the creator of M3GAN, creates a robotic to exchange the position of a liked one. In M3GAN it was somewhat woman’s mother and father; in Soulm8te it’s a spouse. He makes a robotic spouse and, in fact, it goes unsuitable. “In an try to create a very sentient accomplice, he inadvertently turns a innocent lovebot right into a lethal soulmate,” says Blumhouse.
The thought of a killer doll that stabs individuals isn’t going to be sufficient by itself (as a result of you may simply kick it and run, although nobody ever tries that). What sells individuals on demonic dolls is their character. Chucky has an excellent character. Charles Lee Ray is a nasty dude however you’re keen on seeing him rampage round regardless of that. Likewise, the enchantment of M3GAN wasn’t the individuals attempting to get away from M3GAN, however M3GAN herself. She was extra clever than Chucky and at all times gave the impression to be a step forward of her opponents. She will additionally ship her programming into any wifi-connected machine round her, which is each machine, making her a cyber-witch.
So the actual query is, who’s Soulm8te (if that’s her identify)? Should you’re going to make a M3GAN film with out M3GAN in it, the alternative higher be interesting. It’s not the idea itself that works (regardless of how “erotic” they make it). Soulm8te is deliberate for a January 2, 2026 launch. The one everybody’s really ready for, M3GAN 2.0, comes out June 27, 2025.
