It was the combined efforts of 2010's Insidious and 2013's The Conjuring that gave James Wan a huge boost to his career. Even though he isn't directing horror, he still has one foot in it.
You would be right to think that M3GAN may be the start of a new series. It's a good time to make a horror movie based on a toy. In a recent interview with the Hollywood Reporter, the director said that he was still focused on this first film. He doesn't like talking about sequel before the first film is out. I think of a bigger world whenever I make a movie. We can pull from the bigger world if we can tell any other stories.
He and Akela Cooper collaborated on Malignant. Wan said Cooper wasbrave and a writer with a similar talent as him for being "not afraid to just go out there, lean into the absurd and make it work." She can take an idea that is outside of the box and make it human. That was the mission statement for M3GAN, he added, and it seems like the two will be working together for a good while, as Cooper's written next year's sequel to The Nun.
The partnership between Atomic Monster and M3GAN may lead to a merger between the two labels. Though he is hopeful that it will happen, nothing has been written in ink yet. It could lead to a sequel for the 2020 Invisible Man remake. The latter said that he would be more than happy to get that going.
