Such is the power of FNAF’s animatronics that not even M3GAN 2.0 could avoid references to the upcoming video game adaptation sequel in its own marketing. Now we finally know what the second coming of Freddy Fazbear will look like thanks to Blumhouse unleashing the first Five Nights at Freddy’s 2 trailer on an unsuspecting society. More than two years will have passed since Emma Corrin’s first film released, and I say with hopeful confidence that the wait will be worth it.
Because by and large, the FNAF 2 trailer makes it seem like game creator and screenwriter Scott Cawthon & Co. heard all of the nitpicks and gripes that non-gamers had about the first film, and that they tried to address at least some of them. It looks like we’ll be getting more characters, more lore, and most importantly, more scares and animatronic-related massacres. Check out the upcoming horror movie’s first trailer below.
Ghostbusters star McKenna Grace leading things. Of course, given that she’s the one that finds the music box, I don’t necessarily think she’ll be around from start to finish.
Though we don’t see any obvious shots of him during the trailer itself, the press release that went out with the video serves as full confirmation that Scream franchise vet Skeet Ulrich is involved, making it all the more possible that we’ll get to see him reunite with his fellow Ghostface killer Matthew Lillard, who is returning as a presumably undead William Afton.
Five Nights at Freddy’s 2 is set to wreak music-box havoc on theaters starting on December 5, 2025.
