How do you improve upon camp perfection? Gerard Johnstone’s M3GAN was already ideally programmed for maximum meme-ification, thanks to the heavily marketed sequence of its killer robot doing TikTok-ready dances while it chases its latest victim. But even when the sassy AI doll was destroyed by its creator Gemma (Allison Williams) and her grieving niece Cady (Violet McGraw), it was clear that M3GAN had to get a sequel. And it did it the only way M3GAN could: by going full superhero.

M3GAN 2.0, which sees Johnstone return as director alongside screenwriter Akela Cooper, proves that the first film was no fluke. The first M3GAN was explicitly made to be a silly, absurd horror hit — from the schoolgirl stylings of its uncanny valley doll, to the pop song needle-drops and dance scenes. And its raucous reception showed that Johnstone, Cooper, and James Wan (who wrote the story alongside Cooper) hit all the right notes. With its sequel, they double down on the camp silliness, and then some. You liked M3GAN dancing? Well, here’s a whole choreographed show where she pops and locks for a cheering audience. You were a fan of M3GAN singing an early aughts pop song? Here’s her bringing the movie to a halt to sing Kate Bush’s “This Woman’s Work” to a perplexed and increasingly irritated Gemma. You embrace M3GAN as our new horror icon and savior? Well, now she’s a superhero.

Marvel’s Cinematic Universe, it’s been said, is kind of like one massive TV show. Each blockbuster is akin to an episode of television, with one storyline informing another — and some, occasionally, shooting at the same time.

It was like this for Ironheart, the long-gestating spinoff of director Ryan Coogler’s Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. The latter was the closing of a chapter in more ways than one: specifically, a farewell to the late Chadwick Boseman, who’d brought Black Panther into the MCU. But the film also represents new beginnings, with the passing of his mantle to Letitia Wright’s Princess Shuri, the reinvention of the antihero Namor (Tenoch Huerta Mejía), and the arrival of Ironheart (Dominique Thorne), a quasi-successor to Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.).

Filling the void the original Avengers left behind was high priority for Marvel: In 2020, the studio was fast-tracking a solo project for Ironheart. Wakanda Forever was set to be the springboard for the character, and that meant developing her solo series at the same time Coogler was filming.
