Williams, who serves as both a producer and the (non-robot) star of the M3GAN films, says she got hooked on the possibilities of horror after playing Rose Armitage in Peele’s first big hit. “After Get Out, and seeing what it’s like to work in this space, it felt addictive,” she told the panel. “You play with archetypes and make new rules.”

Allison Williams revealed what to expect from the slasher sequel at New York Comic Con, and the killer doll herself even made a virtual appearance.
