Violet McGraw is reprising her role as Cady in the upcoming horror film M3GAN 2.0 and we caught up with the young actress to learn more about her ahead of the theatrical release.
The 14-year-old actress has also been seen in movies like Black Widow and Ready Player One, as well as the series The Haunting of Hill House.
Megan 2.0 takes place two years after the events in the first movie. In the sequel, Cady convinces her aunt Gemma (Allison Williams) to rebuild M3GAN with advanced upgrade to fight off a military robot called AMELIA, who attempts an AI takeover.
Fall’s my favorite season. The leaves changing, the smell of pumpkin spice candles—it’s just cozy. Halloween’s the best part. I love watching horror movies, planning costumes, and getting into the spooky spirit.
I have dyslexia. Found out in second grade when reading was tough. Worked with a specialist to figure out ways to make it easier. It’s just part of who I am, and I’ve learned to handle it.
Soccer’s my thing. I play striker or wing for my club team. My coach is awesome, and my teammates are like family. Being on the field, chasing the ball—it’s where I feel alive.
Sephora’s where I spend way too much time. I’m into brow gel, lip liner with gloss for a simple look, and cheek stains for a natural glow. It’s fun playing around with makeup. My vanity looks like store. I kinda have OCD when it comes to being organized.
My siblings keep things lively. I have 3. Jack, my older brother, makes cool Lego stop-motion videos on his J.B.P. Stop Motion channel. Aidan and Maddy, my twin siblings, are as soccer-obsessed as me. We’re always watching Premier League games together. They are all like my best friends.

I’m half Italian. I’m learning Italian at school to connect with my roots. It’s challenging but cool, and I’m hoping to use it someday when I visit Italy.
Sushi’s my go-to food. I didn’t always love it, but now I can’t get enough. Whether it’s a California roll or something fancier, I’m happy with chopsticks in hand.
I’m a huge Taylor Swift fan. Been one since I was seven. My mom surprised me with a trip to Toronto to see her perform while my sister was there filming The Black Phone 2. I sang and danced the whole time—best night of my life.
Ice cream’s my weakness. I’m picky—it’s gotta be the good stuff. Vanilla’s my favorite, but I’m down for pretty much any flavor if it’s creamy and delicious.
I was born on Earth day, April 22nd. It’s cool to share a birthday with a day about celebrating the planet. Feels like a little nod to loving nature and living big.
