With tons of super dark horror movies in recent years, I had a blast with 2022’s M3GAN , a campy slasher about a killer A.I. doll from both Jason Blum and James Wan .
At the beginning of the year, it was announced that a M3GAN sequel was officially on the way in 2025, but now we’ve learned a spinoff is also on the way from the same producers. While I was hyped already for what the future holds for M3GAN 2.0 , this latest project might actually have me more amped! Let’s talk about it.
It was announced on Thursday that James Wan’s Atomic Monster and Jason Blum’s Blumhouse are teaming up once again to make a movie called SOULM8TE . Per a press release from Blumhouse, the movie will “expand” the M3GAN universe. Oh, and it already has a release date for January 2, 2026.
SOULM8TE is being described as an “erotic thriller” about another A.I. android.
However, this time, rather than it being in the form of a girl meant to be a companion to other children, this movie will take a much more adult approach. SOULM8TE will revolve around a grieving man who has recently lost his wife. In an effort to cope with the loss, he turns to an A.
I. doll of his own, but takes things too far when he tries to fill the hole with the android. The movie will be directed by Kate Dolan, who shared that she views the movie as an “exploration of relationships and loneliness.
