The story for Soulm8te follows a man (Rysdahl) buying an AI-powered android (Sullivan) to help him deal with the loss of his wife. “In an attempt to create a truly sentient partner, the man inadvertently turns a harmless lovebot into a deadly soulmate,” reads a line from the movie’s description. Deadline broke the news of Doumit joining the cast.
Doumit plays Victoria Neuman on The Boys. She’s also known for portraying Farah in the Call of Duty franchise.

You Are Not My Mother director Kate Dolan has signed on to direct Soulm8te. She re-wrote the script, too, following an earlier draft by Salvage Marines writer Rafael Jordan. Jordan, Wan, and Ingrid Bisu are attributed with coming up with the story.

As for the M3gan sequel, M3gan 2.0 releases on June 27, 2025. As mentioned, the sequel delves further into AI, with Wan saying, “We’re exploring the AI universe even further” with the sequel.
