Jason Blum is M3GAN. Or, at least, he’s dressed like the star of his newest horror movie.
At the Los Angeles premiere of Universal Pictures' upcoming filmM3GANat the TCL Theatre in Hollywood on Wednesday night, Blum, 53, donned the doll’s costume from the movie as he appeared alongside four models of the title character.
To look the part, the horror producer wore a blond wig, a khaki-colored dress with a blue and red bow tied around his neck, white tights and a white and grey striped long-sleeved shirt as he matched the four dolls and struck a pose worthy of Blumhouse Production’s newest villain.

“Get ready, world,” Blum wrote in aTwitter postWednesday evening ahead of the premiere, showing off his M3GAN costume. “I’m back.”
The horror producer previously dressed up as the character for Blumhouse’s annual Halloween party in October, according toVanity Fair.
“Those bags are a little scary,” Blum wrote of his appearance in the costume onTwitteron Oct. 27. “I’m kind of like a #M3GAN 2.0. (40 years later)”
