To surprise Williams,Drew Barrymorecompletely transformed herself into M3GAN the killer doll, complete with the horrifying look and “malfunctioning” technology. A sneak peek clip of the interview has been released featuring Barrymore going all out with the gimmick, embracing what it takes to become M3GAN from running on all fours to doing the iconic dance. You can view the clip below, viaDrewon Twitter.
“How did you know that this movie would be such a hit? It just broke $100 million at the box office,” Barrymore says, in character as M3GAN.
Playing along, Williams responds, “Obviously, M3GAN, we never know how these things are gonna go, but you’re able to hope for a certain outcome, and I’m gonna be self-deprecating and say it’s about you. If people really loved M3GAN, and they got her, that’s why.”
Barrymore isn’t the first person to cosplay as M3GAN. One of the film’s producer, Jason Blum, did so for Halloween last year months beforeM3GANpremiered in theaters. Blum clearly had high hopes for the movie’s future at that time, referring to himself as M3GAN 2.0 - which just so happens to be the title of the upcoming sequel, as has since been revealed.
