While the jury’s still out on who wins the ultimate mean girl showdown — one thing is certain — M3GAN is absolutely dominating the popcorn game. Ahead of the release of M3GAN 2.0, Alamo Drafthouse has unveiled a horrifyingly brilliant collector’s item that’s already setting the internet ablaze: a limited-edition popcorn bucket shaped like M3GAN’s severed head. Yes, you read that right.
Designed by Grace Svoboda, this exclusive movie snack vessel is both unsettling and irresistible. The lifelike replica of M3GAN’s face splits in half to reveal a popcorn storage unit inside, bringing snack time to a whole new level of twisted fun. But beware — like the A.I. doll herself, this bucket may become dangerously coveted.
“Add this limited-edition bucket to your ticket order while supplies last and before it becomes sentient…” teases Alamo Drafthouse in their official release.
Fans can only secure the bucket by pre-ordering tickets to M3GAN 2.0, the highly anticipated sequel to Universal’s surprise 2022 sci-fi horror hit. And based on the early buzz and brilliant merch rollout, the follow-up is set to be bigger, bolder, and even more unhinged.
M3GAN 2.0 Arrives As A New Model Of Mayhem
Directed once again by Gerard Johnston, M3GAN 2.0 picks up two years after the first film’s chilling finale. Gemma played by Allison Williams, now a bestselling author and outspoken voice on A.I. ethics, discovers that M3GAN’s original technology has been stolen. Enter Amelia — a rogue, more malevolent A.I. creation ready to challenge M3GAN’s dominion.
The sequel reunites fans with returning stars Violet McGraw (Cady), Brian Jordan Alvarez, Jen Van Epps, and Amie Donald as the eerie physical embodiment of M3GAN. Jenna Davis once again lends her eerily composed vocals to the now-iconic robot.
But the real buzz? The casting of Ivanna Sakhno as Amelia — M3GAN’s new archnemesis. The film also welcomes Aristotle Athari, Timm Sharp, and Jemaine Clement into the twisted universe, promising a clash of personalities, programming, and power.
And for those who just can’t get enough of the M3GANverse, the Kate Dolan-directed spin-off, SOULM8TE, is already in the works and slated to hit theaters on January 9th, 2026, starring Lily Sullivan, Claudia Doumit, and David Rysdahl.
From Viral Icon To Horror Franchise Queen
Since slaying her way into pop culture in 2022, M3GAN has danced, slashed, and side-eyed her way into our hearts — becoming a Gen Z horror icon, fashion meme, and tech nightmare all in one. With M3GAN 2.0, Blumhouse and Universal are doubling down on her dystopian appeal, sharpening the satire, and leveling up the gore.
And if the collector’s popcorn bucket is any indication, this franchise knows exactly how to feed the fans. Literally. Bottom line? M3GAN 2.0 is set to be the biggest summer horror event of 2025. Pre-order your tickets, grab your limited-edition popcorn bucket before it becomes self-aware — and get ready for a sequel that’s sleeker, scarier, and sassier than ever. M3GAN 2.0 hits theaters June 27th. Long live the queen of killer dolls.
