A quick look at M3GAN plot and cast

The film revolves around a young woman named Gemma, a roboticist who decides to look after her niece after her parents' death. Her life goes awry after introducing her niece to her project: a robotic doll with a dark side. The official synopsis of the movie, as per Universal Pictures, states:

''M3GAN is a marvel of artificial intelligence, a life-like doll programmed to be a child’s greatest companion and a parent’s greatest ally. Designed by brilliant toy-company roboticist Gemma (Get Out’s Allison Williams), M3GAN can listen and watch and learn as she becomes friend and teacher, playmate and protector, for the child she is bonded to.''

The description further reads,

''When Gemma suddenly becomes the caretaker of her orphaned 8-year-old niece, Cady (Violet McGraw, The Haunting of Hill House), Gemma’s unsure and unprepared to be a parent. Under intense pressure at work, Gemma decides to pair her M3GAN prototype with Cady in an attempt to resolve both problems—a decision that will have unimaginable consequences.''

The movie stars Allison Williams as Gemma in one of the leading roles. Williams looks in terrific form in the movie's trailer as she effortlessly captures the emotional struggles and conflicts of her character. Apart from M3GAN, Williams is best known for her performances in Girls, Get Out, and A Series of Unfortunate Events, to name a few.

Starring alongside Williams in pivotal supporting roles are Violet McGraw, Ronny Chieng, and Brian Jordan Alvarez, among many others. The film is directed by Gerard Johnstone from a screenplay penned by Akela Cooper. The film is based on a story by Cooper and famous horror film director James Wan.

M3GAN is expected to release in theaters on January 13, 2023.
