Audiences will doubtless solely see one movie popping up on the 2025 film schedule that mixes animatronics, online game lore, and childhood traumas, and it’s not a M3GAN / Minecraft crossover, as semi-intriguing as that sounds. I’m after all speaking about 5 Nights at Freddy’s 2, the sequel to 2023’s field workplace smash from Blumhouse. The extremely anticipated upcoming horror flick isn’t hitting theaters for some time but, however followers can now savor a set of leaked manufacturing photographs and probably our first massive live-action FNAF 3 rumor.
5 NIghts At Freddy’s 2 Set Photographs Reveal A New (Previous) Location And Extra
5 Nights at Freddy’s 2 has been in manufacturing in South Louisiana and filming since Fall 2024, with Josh Hutcherson teasing a much bigger and scarier film this time round. (Co-star and William Afton portrayer Matthew Lillard stated as a lot to CinemaBlend, additionally.) It is unclear how lengthy we’ll be ready to see an official trailer, however due to some happy-go-lucky photographers, we now have an concept of what a future trailer shall be teasing.
Although the set photographs popped up in varied locations on-line, franchise fanatic @katsterlingfan has curated the vast majority of them, and can also be the supply of the rumor we’ll get to decrease down. Earlier than that, although, let’s run by a handful of probably the most thrilling reveals seen within the new photographs.
- The Freddy Fazbear Pizza location seen within the first movie will return, however in far worse form than it was even when Mike was employed.
- A special FFP location will seem within the sequel with a marquee signal that options not simply Freddy, however all 4 of the primary animatronics modeled because the characters’ extra cutesy Toy iterations. (Toy Freddy was confirmed through the primary poster launched on-line.) This pizzeria additionally seems fairly rundown and deserted, however not utterly.
- Fazfest is sort of positively an official a part of the film! Not solely had been pics captured of lamp posts with Fazfest indicators hooked up, however fliers had been additionally seen promoting a giant costume contest. Stylized cubicles had been additionally seen promoting in-universe merch for Freddy Fazbear and the opposite characters, and I can solely assume the cubicles had been a part of Fazfest.
Different smaller particulars may very well be gleaned by the set photographs as nicely, similar to the primary movie’s restaurant probably having indicators posted on the door directing guests to the newer pizzeria. I additionally love the truth that the colours for the Fazfest lamppost indicators are yellow and purple, which provides a little bit of Mardi Gras aptitude to the fake occasion.
Rumor: FNAF 3 Is Set To Movie Later This Yr For A 2027 Launch
One of many greatest surprises associated to 5 Nights at Freddy’s field workplace success was that Blumhouse and Common weren’t already in energetic growth on a sequel, although not even Jason Blum himself foresaw fairly how massive it might get. However might that timing change for a possible third movie?
In line with this X put up, each filming and launch plans have been tentatively agreed upon behind the scenes. This is how they worded it:
Blumhouse’s ‘FIVE NIGHTS AT FREDDY’S 3’ will reportedly start filming 6 months after the second films launch and they’re a possible 2027 launch. (Possibly late 2027) I have been advised this completely by any person who I belief however, nonetheless, take this with a heavy grain of salt and bear in mind issues can change because it’s in very early pre-production phases.
All in all, the above FNAF 3 rumor is form of meaningless, because it comes full with a grain-of-salt warning in addition to the notion that even when it was appropriate, a number of manufacturing adjustments might utterly change up these expectations and trigger a domino impact that leaves the third 5 Nights film popping out in 2045 or one thing. I am not good at math if there aren’t cupcakes concerned.
If we do take this report as possessed animatronic gospel, although, then that might make for a state of affairs the place Blumhouse and Common are in a position to mirror the moderately rapid-paced manufacturing course of that allowed for annual October releases for the primary seven Noticed movies. I do not assume we’ll be gearing up for FNAF 7 in 2030 or something, however I can simply see the studio churning out these horror flicks for so long as Jim Henson’s Creature Store places their inventive touches on the non-human characters.
For now, we’ll preserve the majority of our pleasure tethered to 5 Nights at Freddy’s 2, which can certainly be hitting theaters on Friday, December 5, 2025.
