The M3gan universe is getting even bigger and creepier.

The world of Blumhouse’s Megan was already unsettling enough with its killer robots designed to become best friends with young children.

Universal is taking the franchise in an even more unnerving direction with Soulm8te — an erotic thriller about a widower who “inadvertently turns a harmless lovebot into a deadly soulmate.” Kate Dolan is attached to direct the film, and it’s due out January 2nd, 2026.
