The roaming band of M3GANs is back on the streets of
Universal Studios
theme park.
A group of identically dressed characters has been making multiple appearances daily in what appears to be a corporate promotion for
“M3GAN 2.0,”
a
Universal Pictures
release set for theaters on June 27. Of course, it’s a sequel to 2022’s “M3GAN,” a scifi horror flick.
In the films, M3GAN is a human-like artficial-intellegence doll who develops a violent streak. The original film made more than $180 million at the box office worldwide.

In the park, the M3GANs are more docile. They travel in a pack of six, but arrive individually, silently interacting with
Universal Orlando
guests as the
Robyn song “Fembot” plays
. Eventually they gather, flash mob style, at the intersection of the park’s Hollywood and Vine streets for a dance number to
Britney Spears’ “Oops, I Did It Again.”
In most cases, the sextet — dressed in tan jumpers and white tights — then breaks into two groups of three M3GANs for photo opportunities as
“Lethal Woman” (by Dove Cameron)
plays.
A standing photo backdrop touting “M3GAN 2.0” also is nearby. “Universal, miss me?” it reads.
Times for the group appearances have not appeared on Universal’s published show schedules, although folks are gathering at the bottom of the hour in anticipation.
The multiple M3GAN concept first appeared at Universal during 2023’s
Halloween Horror Nights
. The park recently started making announcements regarding 2025’s HHN, but “M3GAN” has not been among the details shared.
A spinoff called “SOULM8TE” is scheduled to debut in January.
