Here’s everything that happens at the end of the new horror comedy film, M3GAN, as well as how its final moments set up a potential sequel.
Warning: this article contains spoilers for M3GAN (2023).
The new horror comedy M3GAN follows basically the same trajectory as every other movie about a deranged killer robot. In this case, the robot in question is M3GAN (Amie Donald), a lifelike doll created by Gemma (Allison Williams) to be the most advanced and accommodating toy in history.
What can go wrong? For anyone who’s seen or even heard of the Child’s Play movies, you know the answer: everything.
Gemma creates M3GAN partly out of her own ambition and partly so that she doesn’t have to take on as active of a role in raising her orphaned niece, Cady (Violet McGraw). Unsurprisingly, it isn’t long before M3GAN begins to take her purpose of protecting Cady so seriously that she’s killing any animals and people that pose any kind of threat to her human companion.
Once Gemma begins to suspect M3GAN, she safely manages to shut the doll down and take her back to her lab. Unfortunately, when M3GAN is thoughtlessly hooked back up to the lab’s diagnostic equipment by Gemma’s coworkers, she’s able to wake herself back up and free herself from her constraints.
