M3gan

**Model Three Generative Android**, known as **M3GAN** or **Megan** for short, is the titular main antagonist of the 2023 sci-fi/horror film of the same name and will return in some titular capacity in its upcoming 2025 sequel *M3GAN 2*.*0.*

She is an android created by the roboticist Gemma, Cady's aunt. M3GAN was originally programmed to protect her cousin Cady after the deaths of her parents, but eventually it begins to go rogue to the point of killing people - thereby setting the events of the film into motion.

The character was physically portrayed by Amie Donald, while her robotic voice was provided by Jenna Davis.

## Appearance

M3GAN appears as a young human girl with blonde hair and a pair of cold, robotic eyes with grey irises. She is usually seen wearing a long-sleeved green shirt with a striped pattern on its sleeves, and a brown coat with a blue tie.

***M3GAN*** (stylized as ***MΞGAN***) is an American science fiction horror film directed by Gerard Johnstone from a screenplay by Akela Cooper and a story by Cooper and James Wan. It stars Allison Williams, Violet McGraw, Ronny Chieng, and Brian Jordan Alvarez, with Amie Donald as the title character. It is produced by Jason Blum and James Wan under their Blumhouse Productions and Atomic Monster Productions banners, respectively, alongside Divide/Conquer. The film is about an android that turns sentient and violent.

*M3GAN* was released in the United States on January 6, 2023, by Universal Pictures.

In the mountains of Colorado, couple Ava and Ryan and their daughter Cady are involved in a car accident while heading on a ski trip. Cady is the sole survivor of the crash and is sent to live with her aunt Gemma, who is a roboticist at Funki, a technologically advanced toy company in Seattle.

Gemma is currently working on developing M3GAN (short for Model 3 Generative Android), a life-like artificial intelligence doll designed to be a loyal companion to the child it is programmed for and be an ally to their caretakers. After a test run for Gemma's boss, David Lin, goes haywire, he forces her to abandon the project and focus on remodeling another popular toy the company sells to maximize profits. Both Gemma and Cady struggle to adapt to their new situation; Gemma has a difficult time stepping into parenthood, with work being her biggest priority, and Cady struggles to cope with the loss of her parents. To ensure that Cady is supervised while she remains dedicated to her work, Gemma decides to continue working on M3GAN. After completing the doll, Gemma asks Cady to partake in M3GAN's demonstration to David, during which she meets and is formally paired with her. Their interactions and Cady’s immediate love for M3GAN convince David that the doll will be a valuable investment and skyrocket the company to success.

After bringing M3GAN home, she essentially becomes a part of the family and teaches Cady life lessons, being an overall fun companion. Gemma is pleased because Cady seems to be much happier, and she can continue to focus on her work. However, Gemma's co-workers Tess and Cole, as well as Cady’s therapist Lydia, begin to have some serious concerns about the parental role that M3GAN has taken on in Cady’s life; Lydia in particular worries that Cady is creating too strong emotional attachments to M3GAN that will be extremely difficult to break later on. Being designed to progress and adapt to her surroundings, M3GAN begins to operate more independently, and becomes harder for Gemma to manage with the parental controls she installed. With M3GAN’s primary goal being to protect Cady emotionally and physically, she begins to target what she deems a threat to Cady - M3GAN first kills their neighbor Celia’s dog after it attacked Cady, and later kills Celia when she accuses Gemma of the incident. She also kills Cady’s bully Brandon by chasing him onto a road and into the path of a speeding car.

Gemma starts to become suspicious after seeing that M3GAN has deliberately erased the data files containing footage of her victims' deaths. While directly asking her whether or not she did something, M3GAN vaguely insinuates that she did. In a panic, Gemma turns M3GAN off and takes her to consult with Tess and Cole. Cady starts suffering severe anxiety from being separated from M3GAN and becomes hostile to those around her. Gemma talks with Cady and convinces her that she does not need M3GAN and that the doll is just a distraction from her feelings rather than a solution to them. She also apologizes for her absence and promises to be more of a parental figure for her.

After discussing it with Tess and Cole, Gemma decides to get rid of M3GAN, as she is ultimately unpredictable due to her rapid progression and independence. However, she fails to convince David, as he can win over many investors for M3GAN's production and launches a worldwide campaign preceding her release to the public. Meanwhile, Tess and Cole attempt to shut down M3GAN but she attacks them both and blows up their lab. After escaping the room, M3GAN kills both David and his assistant Kurt, then steals a car and makes her way back to Gemma’s house.

M3GAN confronts Gemma about being a terrible parental figure and offers to care for Cady to let her remain dedicated to her work. Gemma attempts to shut her down again, but M3GAN overpowers her and the two end up fighting. Cady uses a robot that Gemma created in college to tear M3GAN apart. However, M3GAN'S head and arms remain active, and she attempts to kill Cady in retaliation. Gemma exposes M3GAN's interior and goes for her processing chip when M3GAN begins to choke her, until Cady stabs the chip with a screwdriver.

With M3GAN seemingly dead, Gemma and Cady go outside as the police arrive with Tess and Cole. As they leave the house, the camera of Gemma's smart home device turns to watch them, implying the M3GAN uploaded herself into it to survive.
