After the success M3GAN saw at the box office when it was released in theaters, Blumhouse is expanding the universe of the dangerous android with a new spinoff. According to Deadline, Lily Sullivan has been cast as the lead of SOULM8TE. The upcoming story will be centered around a man who acquires an android to deal with the loss of his wife. But instead of finding a new partner in the machine, the android will quickly turn into a threat to everyone around her. The upcoming spin-off is being described as “more risqué” than the original installment.
Lily Sullivan was recently acclaimed for her performance as Beth Bixler in Evil Dead Rise. The horror story written and directed by Lee Cronin gave Sullivan the opportunity to step into the shoes of a terrifying role, making it easy to see why Blumhouse thought she’d be the perfect choice to lead the cast of SOULM8TE. Before diving deep into the horror genre in recent years, Lily Sullivan appeared in titles such as Sucker and Jungle. The performer’s body language on the screen proved to be effective at shocking audiences in Evil Dead Rise, and time will tell how Sullivan will make her role in SOULM8TE memorable and different from what was seen in M3GAN.
SOULM8TE will be directed by Kate Dolan. The filmmaker previously worked on You Are Not My Mother. As the title of the horror story suggests, the movie focused on a young woman as she fights with her grandmother after her mother goes missing. However, when the titular character returns, she’s very different from the person she used to be before her disappearance. Dolan will also rewrite the script for SOULM8TE, after a first draft was delivered to the studio by Rafael Jordan.
M3GAN 2.0 (2025)
Following the success of the first film, M3GAN 2.0 continues the story of the artificial intelligence doll, M3GAN. Scheduled for release on June 27, 2025, this sequel is expected to delve deeper into the sinister and unpredictable nature of M3GAN as she becomes more autonomous and potentially more dangerous.
