Good news horror fans, we only have a few more weeks until we get to see our favorite murderous doll back on the big screen. But Universal Pictures has given us one last treat to tie us over until then, in the shape of a brand new and final M3GAN 2.0 trailer.
The new trailer, which you can watch below, opens with M3GAN attempting to apologise for her behaviour in the first movie, but old habits die hard as in the next frame the doll is back to her murderous self. But, she's playing for the good guys this time, and she knows how much Gemma needs her as an even bigger threat is looming: Russian murder bot Amelia, who is practically the female terminator. "Amelia is stronger than you can imagine," warns M3GAN, "and she's coming after anyone who can stop her. Including you, Gemma."
The clip also includes some new footage, which shows M3GAN stealing a pop star's identity, Cady getting kidnapped by Amelia, and Gemma hopping into a robot suit controlled by M3GAN. Not only this, but the new trailer provides some rather hilarious one-liners and meme-able scenes that we are sure will take social media by storm.
Written and directed by Gerard Johnstone, M3GAN 2.0 takes place two years after M3GAN went rogue in the 2022 movie and had to be destroyed by her creator, Gemma (Allison Williams). Fast forward to the sequel, Gemma is a highly successful author and advocate for government oversight of A.I, while raising her angsty teenage niece Cady (Violet McGraw).
But the pair's life is about to be turned upside down, as the tech for M3GAN has been stolen and used to create a military-grade weapon called Amelia (Ivanna Sakhno). When Amelia decides to rebel against the humans who created her tech, including Gemma, the roboticist "realizes that the only option is to resurrect M3GAN and give her a few upgrades, making her faster, stronger, and more lethal,' reads the official synopsis. 'As their paths collide, the original A.I icon is about to meet her match.'
M3GAN 2.0 welcomes back original cast members Brian Jordan Alvarez and Jen Van Epps, and adds Aristotle Athari, Timm Sharp, and Jemaine Clement.
M3GAN 2.0 will slay theaters from June 27. For more, check out our list of the best horror movies, or keep up with upcoming horror movies heading your way.

Andrew Schulz, ‘Podcast Bro,' Might Be America's Foremost Political Journalist
The comedian Andrew Schulz has risen to arena-headliner status on the strength of his irreverent, defiantly anti-woke standup. His material is a high-energy blend of gleeful raunch and precise observation, all peppered with ethnic jokes, slurs and smack talk. (Which, as much as such a thing is possible, generally comes across as good-hearted or, at least, not meanspirited.) But provocation is not the only trick in his bag. In Schulz's most recent special, 'Life,' which came out on Netflix this year, the 41-year-old moved into more vulnerable and narratively driven territory. It's about his and his wife's experience with I.V.F. (told in highly un-family-friendly language). Despite all his success with standup, Schulz has perhaps become even better known for his podcasting. His shows 'Flagrant,' co-hosted by Akaash Singh, and 'Brilliant Idiots,' co-hosted by Charlamagne tha God, are appointment listening for millions, not just for humor but for political discussion too. That relatively newfound breadth and Schulz's ready embrace of disparate subject matter — from politics to sports to theology to culture writ large — has led to him becoming a star of the so-called online manosphere. Although that term, or 'podcast bro,' or any other potentially reductive label one might apply, would most likely frustrate the entertainingly pugnacious Schulz. But whatever you want to call him or his corner of the online world, it's influential. Donald Trump went on 'Flagrant' last fall ahead of the presidential election, and progressive politicians like Bernie Sanders and Pete Buttigieg have been guests on the show this year. For me, that raised questions about what Schulz's bigger goals are, and what responsibilities might come with his growing influence. Subscribe: Apple Podcasts | Spotify | YouTube | Amazon | iHeart | NYT Audio App In the last four or five years, you've really blown up. What has shifted in the culture to enable you to come to prominence? When I started posting stuff on the internet, specifically standup, things changed for me. I was trying to get an HBO special or, back in the day, Netflix is just coming to prominence, or Comedy Central. I was trying to get anything, and I couldn't get any motion with standup. So out of desperation, I filmed my own special, pitched it to everybody, nobody wanted it, and I was like, I'm going to put this online. At the time there was a sensitivity, especially in corporate America, about edginess and jokes. So my gamble was maybe if I put this out on YouTube, there will be an audience that likes this type of comedy. I put it out, and a weird thing happened: Everybody only watched 20 minutes. So I put out a 20-minute version of it, and the next weekend, I sold out a comedy club. The next weekend I sold out another one. I was like, Whoa, there's really something over here on the internet, and I can be my authentic self with comedy despite what the cultural sensitivity of the time is. You obviously have clear ideas about what works with audiences. Does that create a temptation to pander? If you actually are trying to create something authentic, you're going to make less money, but you maintain your integrity. Oftentimes what happens is you'll have an opinion that's maybe a little different, and you'll be rebuked for that opinion for years, and then people will start to come around. Then the same people that rebuked you will start echoing those sentiments with no accountability. We had Bernie on the pod, who I love. Want all of The Times? Subscribe.

In its third season, ‘The Gilded Age' is as staid and sudsy as ever
'The Gilded Age,' by virtue of its focus on moneyed late-19th-century decorum, is the current HBO drama that hews most closely to network broadcast standards. Indeed, the show was originally tipped for NBC before it got a Bertha Russell-approved status glow-up to the premium cable streamer. But while it eschews the brutality of HBO's reputation-burnishing series such as 'The Sopranos' or 'Game of Thrones,' it induces similar ethical cartwheels in the viewer. We're invited to cheer the victories of an amoral robber baron and his Machiavellian wife, whose campaign to conquer the old-money battlements of 1880s New York forms the overarching narrative of the series.

Jay Ellis Considers Colson Whitehead His Literary GOAT
So far this year, Jay Ellis has played a basketball coach in the Netflix comedy 'Running Point' and a record-setting M.V.P. in the action movie 'Freaky Tales.' This summer, he's swapping free throws for freestyles as he steps into the role of a hip-hop star in the Off Broadway play 'Duke & Roya,' at the Lucille Lortel Theater. The drama finds him stumbling into a cross-cultural romance with life-threatening consequences. 'At first glance,' he said, 'there's no reason why you think these two people would ever hit it off.' He added: 'We're in a world where everyone yells, no one listens. Everybody really just wants connection, to be seen, to be understood, and I just loved the idea that these two characters do.' Ellis, 43, temporarily relocated his family of four to New York from their home in Los Angeles. One particular aspect of the local culture suits him well. 'I absolutely love pizza,' he said, name-dropping his latest find, Fini. 'My daughter took a bite and was like, 'Why don't we have pizza like this in L.A., Daddy?'' Want all of The Times? Subscribe.
