Following her breakthrough role as the dark Force user pupil Shin Hati in Lucasfilm’s “Star Wars” series “Ahsoka,” actress Ivanna Sakhno has secured her next major role. The actress has secured a leading role in “M3GAN 2.0,” the follow-up to the critically acclaimed film from Atomic Monster and Blumhouse, according to Deadline.
Although there is currently no word on who her character is or how she fits into that universe, Sakhno will star alongside Allison Williams and Violet McGraw, who will both be reprising their roles as Gemma and Cady, respectively.
Akela Cooper, who wrote the first film, and Gerard Johnstone, who directed it, developed the story for the follow-up. Producers James Wan, Jason Blum, and Williams are serving as joining this sequel.
As of right now, plot details are being kept under wraps for the sequel, but if you’ve seen the first film, you’d know that it ends on an ominous note, suggesting that the technologically advanced AI robot M3GAN is still alive in some form. How exactly she will be resurrected is a secret that we will have to wait and see unveiled.
“M3GAN 2.0” is scheduled to be released on May 16, 2025. [Deadline]
