The MPAA has given the previously announced M3GAN spin-off movie, SOULM8TE, an official MPAA rating for strong violence, gore, sexual content, graphic nudity, and language. The film, which still has no release date, was previously removed from Universal Pictures' release schedule and given its initial January 2026 release date to a monkey horror movie. The movie was announced in June 2024 as a new film set within the M3gan universe and stars Lily Sullivan as an AI bot acquired by a recently widowed man to cope with the loss of his wife.
