M3GAN Star Allison Williams Parodies The Film On Saturday Night … – Looper

Season 48, Episode 10 of the long-running sketch comedy series “Saturday Night Live” saw Aubrey Plaza host and star in a playful homage to “M3GAN.” The sketch, a fictional trailer for the “M3GAN” sequel, “M3GAN 2.0,” chooses to address how the character became a gay icon for many. We see “M3GAN,” played by Plaza, having fun with a group of men at a gay bar until Allison Williams stops the party, trying to urge the partiers that the doll is dangerous. But after the bar’s patrons compliment Williams for her appearance in the HBO series “Girls,” she drops her concerns and gleefully joins in the fun. The sketch acts as a perfect send-up to the film, with the inclusion of the “Get Out” star only adding to its credibility. 

While the ‘SNL” sketch was made purely for laughs, we wouldn’t be surprised if some of these idea may find their way in the announced “M3GAN” sequel. Along with the fact that the sequel’s current title is “M3GAN 2.0,” the idea of the character being a new icon for the LGBTQIA+ community is one that hasn’t been lost on the film’s creative team, who are proud to see such reception (via Comic Book Resources). And if we can take the appearance of Aubrey Plaza, who also starred in the 2019 remake of “Child’s Play,” with any weight, then hopefully a duel between “M3GAN” and Chucky also isn’t too unfathomable either.
