They really helped me make M3GAN come to life because they taught me how to be robotic and how to get into character. They taught me everything,” says Donald, who sometimes performed with limited vision due to fogging inside her M3GAN mask. Casting local performer and international competitive dancer Donald, now 12, to physically embody M3GAN turned out to be fortuitous. Although it was her first film role, the actor, who has also since appeared on “Sweet Tooth,” was off book within a week and loved doing her own stunts. “She was just extraordinary,” says Johnstone.

Are we in our own bubble here?’ The bubble burst in a big way when that trailer dropped.” At first, we're in awe and may marvel at the craftsmanship of something super realistic, but it's not long before we become repulsed or fearful at how real something seems while our brain grapples with the idea that it's really not.

Her facial expressions would be muted to create a sense of menace. “We dialed down everything,” Morot said. They placed restrictions on the motors in M3GAN’s face to keep her expressions chilly. Not initially in the script written by Akela Cooper, Johnstone had the idea to integrate a dance moment in the film, tapping into the young actor’s skills. He gave Donald and her dance teacher Kylie Norris a set of guiding concepts for a scene in which she hunts Ronny Chieng’s David down the hallway of his own toy company, and the duo choreographed the moves that later made “M3GAN” go viral on TikTok.Gardner, Chris (December 8, 2022).

The doll aspect, generally, is what makes the killer doll genre or the creepy doll genre creepy, because it’s clearly an inanimate object. It’s a plaything, it’s a doll. But the fact that this plaything could have a life of its own is what makes it scary." a b Rooney, David (January 4, 2023).

We broke our cardinal rule. I felt so bullish that we started entertaining a sequel earlier than we usually do," he told Variety.
