Superman and Mr. Terrific are standing on a sidewalk looking at the wall of a large building. There’s a huge vertical crack running up the side, and it’s apparent that this building was split by the rift and later rejoined when Mr. Terrific reversed the rift. However, one side of the cracked wall sticks out several inches farther than the other side. Mr. Terrific notices that Superman is kind of bothered and asks him what’s wrong. Superman points out that the wall is a little off. Annoyed, Mr. Terrific says “What do you want me to do? Do you want me to take it apart and put it back together?!” Superman says “No, it’s just…” An annoyed Mr. Terrific walks off, and Superman apologizes, saying he didn’t mean to bum him out and he shouldn’t have brought it up. Then Superman turns and says to himself, “Darn it, I can be such a jerk sometimes.”

Rating: PG-13

Release Date: 6/27/2025

What did you think of this film?

Two years after M3GAN, a marvel of artificial intelligence, went rogue and embarked on a murderous (and impeccably choreographed) rampage and was subsequently destroyed, M3GAN’s creator Gemma (Allison Williams) has become a high-profile author and advocate for government oversight of A.I. Meanwhile, Gemma’s niece Cady (Violet McGraw), now 14, has become a teenager, rebelling against Gemma’s overprotective rules.

Unbeknownst to them, the underlying tech for M3GAN has been stolen and misused by a powerful defense contractor to create a military-grade weapon known as Amelia (Ivanna Sakhno), the ultimate killer infiltration spy. But as Amelia’s self-awareness increases, she becomes decidedly less interested in taking orders from humans. Or in keeping them around.

With the future of human existence on the line, Gemma realizes that the only option is to resurrect M3GAN (Amie Donald, voiced by Jenna Davis) and give her a few upgrades, making her faster, stronger, and more lethal. As their paths collide, the original A.I bitch is about to meet her match.
