 What is going on guys welcome back to the channel critical overlord here We're gonna be talking about Megan 2.0 in this video here again today We're gonna be going over what could be happening in Megan 2.0 as pertains to some comments that James Juan gave to Empire magazine a while back while also touching on some recent comments that came out from the McGraw sisters courtesy of Conversation they had with discussing film which I'll kick off before I dive into These rumored details of what could be going on in Megan 2.0 So Megan 2.0 apparently is going to be shooting very soon according to Violet McGraw and her sister Madeline Who we know starred in the black phone last year both sisters spoke with discussing film recently and Violet expressed excitement over reuniting with the cast and crew while confirming that she a hundred percent will be returning as Katie in the upcoming sequel to Blumhouse's hit horror film from last year Which will also once again be pinned by Akilah Cooper now during that same exchange With discussing film Madeline stated She's a little she's a little down because her sister Violet is leaving to begin filming Megan 2.0 soon So that's how we know Productions about to start soon not only that but this conversation with the McGraw sisters is kind of echoing Ryan Turek Who previously spoke with collider to confirm that Megan 2.0 is underway? They haven't started shooting or anything like that But they're aiming towards that January release date that was set which we know Megan 2.0 It's supposed to arrive in January of 2025 now the McGraw sisters days after what Ryan Turek had to say Madeline Has come out stating that her sister is gonna be leaving to start shooting that soon So I would guess that filming for Megan 2.0 if I were to guess Would begin in mid to late February at the earliest maybe March James Wan we know also told Empire a few months ago that it's early But Megan is coming back in a big way and again, we might have an idea of what that big way is He says the first film came just at the right time when concerns about AI were mounting and we're definitely leaning into that on The next one. We're exploring the AI universe even further Well, like I mentioned, we may have an idea of how Megan 2.0 will lean into and explore the AI universe even further Now everything new that I mentioned going forward is rumored unconfirmed and alleged until Blumhouse, Akilah Cooper Universal Pictures other crew or major reputable outlets say otherwise to confirm it So we know a hundred percent that in the original film Katie's parents passed in the car crash Her aunt Gemma adopts her and Gemma's new Android creation Megan became Katie's new BFF until the body started dropping Gemma's or Gemma also, I think worked for this company. Definitely a toy company. I think they were named funky and Megan was supposed to be funky's new hit that scared off other kid toy competitors that were in the same market as them You had Kurt who was one of the funky employees pulling a dentist nejri if you will by stealing Megan's database for his Agenda against funky We are shown Kurt taking Megan files and he's copying them over to his own personal folder Now unfortunately for Kurt he didn't make it out of Megan alive But his agenda against funky might have the ending of Megan teases that LC Gemma's Alexa like device has been infiltrated by Megan after her body is destroyed at the end of the film a clear sequel beta attempt but Allegedly Kurt's little scheme is very relevant in this sequel This is an assumption I'm making because everything else again is just rumored details going forward as It pertains to what I want to talk about and a lot of this stuff Outside of the specifics of what I'm gonna get into are gonna be me speculate on how this stuff came to be now again This isn't confirmed But Megan 2.0 is rumored to be introducing a new doll named Amelia Amelia shares the same code as Megan which means That they have Gemma's influence in the mix and thus would have to imply that Kurt Successfully sent off those files to competitors and said competitors have launched their own doll called Amelia Now of course, it's possible that Gemma is the one responsible for the creation of Amelia And then this is also from funky But given the implications that we had in Megan I would have to assume that Amelia exists because Kurt successfully got the details necessary Over to a competitor and this is the competitors doll now in fact Amelia could also just simply be part of a line of dolls from this competitor And this is just one that happens to be named Amelia kind of like how the good guy dolls all have their own different names But the doll a hundred percent allegedly shares the same codes as Megan and is rumored to attempt to corrupt a revived Megan into joining their side. So what is it with Amelia? What is her goal? So Megan might not even be the villain in this next film and we could be in a versus situation. However Other rumored details indicate that Amelia is seeking out Megan because it wants the original source Which is Megan to act as its mother Now I would assume Amelia is nothing more than a prototype similar to Megan being a prototype But we'll just have to wait and see but that is an interesting development if There is a new doll It's seeking out the original source material to act as its mother because it viewed itself as the child of Megan So in a way, we could be entering seed of Chucky territory for the Megan franchise It's not even a franchise. We just could be entering seed of Chucky territory within the Megan universe Already in the sequel because again, there's rumored to be a new doll that's going to be introduced and this doll is named Amelia and Megan and Amelia are rumored to have some sort of confrontation at some point during this film because Amelia has sought out Megan Since they shared the same source code and wants Megan to perform its duties as Amelia's mother Also, I would have to assume that Amelia probably doesn't like Katie and her aunt Gemma because of their treatment towards Megan Amelia's whole existence is what I do not know about. I don't know how Amelia came to exist I don't know if it's because of Kurt and him successfully getting those files over to a competitor or if it's Gemma who created Amelia I also of course don't know how Megan is revived since her body was destroyed But Megan a hundred percent seems to be revived in the upcoming sequel There's a new doll named Amelia who I would have to assume came from Kurt Shifting off or sending off those documents to competitors and this is their creation I would love to see how this all unfold But what do you guys think about a new doll being introduced in Megan 2.0? Do you think this is a appropriate way to expand on the AI concerns? Why or why not? How do you think this would even be used to commentate further because I was also looking at these Rumored details going maybe It's saying it wants to be Katie's mother, but that's not what It seems is a safe assumption the safer assumption means for me anyway with with them having the same source code Is that it wants Megan to operate as its mother? We'll just have to wait and see how this all comes together Let me know just think about this down in the comment section below if you haven't already course make sure you subscribe Turn on post notifications that you never miss a video in the description.
