The cast of the upcoming M3GAN sequel, M3GAN 2.0, is growing, with Deadline reporting that Ivanna Sakhno is set to join the cast of the film.
Sakhno, who broke out after her portrayal of Shin Hati in the Star Wars series Ahsoka, is set to join the cast of the highly anticipated sequel. Currently, her role in the project is unknown, although Deadline does describe it as a “major part” in the movie.
Allison Williams and Violet McGraw are both reprising their roles in M3GAN 2.0, though further plot details remain under wraps at this time. Akela Cooper, who wrote the original film, is once again writing the script, while James Wan is producing the movie.
M3GAN was a smash hit when it released in 2023
M3GAN was released in United States theaters in January 2023. Directed by Gerard Johnstone and written by Akela Cooper, the movie starred Williams, McGraw, Ronny Chieng, Jenna Davis, and Amie Donald.
“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,” the synopsis reads. “Designed by brilliant toy-company roboticist Gemma (Williams), M3GAN can listen and watch and learn as she becomes friend and teacher, playmate and protector, for the child she is bonded to. When Gemma suddenly becomes the caretaker of her orphaned 8-year-old niece, Cady (McGraw), 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.”
M3GAN was a huge hit at the global box office, bringing in $181 million off of a budget of approximately $12 million.
