Overview
- SOULM8TE received an official R rating for strong violence, gore, sexual content, graphic nudity, and language, according to the MPA.
- The film was removed from its early January 2026 theatrical slot after M3GAN 2.0 underperformed, with reports last year that it was being shopped to other buyers.
- Outlets note the rating could indicate movement toward release, though no new date or confirmed distribution plan has been announced.
- Universal is still listed as the distributor at this time.
- The spinoff follows a grieving man who turns an AI companion into a deadly partner, with Kate Dolan directing and Lily Sullivan, Claudia Doumit, and David Rysdahl starring from a story by James Wan, Ingrid Bisu, and Rafael Jordan.
