Universal has removed the M3GAN spinoff *Soulm8te* from its 2026 release schedule, citing the underwhelming performance of *M3GAN 2.0*, which earned $39.1 million globally. The film, directed by Kate Dolan and starring Claudia Doumit and Lily Sullivan, centers on a man who creates an AI android to replace his deceased wife, only to awaken a deadly entity. Though not officially canceled, *Soulm8te* is now being shopped to other studios and streaming platforms, with no new release date or distributor confirmed.
