It is a unbelievable 12 months to be a FNAF fan, and it is solely getting higher from this level ahead. The stellar 5 Nights at Freddy’s 2 trailer dropped sooner than anticipated on the day of the Blumhouse sequel’s large San Diego Comedian-Con panel, and now we have all been the higher for it. Timed to the promor, the long-standing rumors about Skeet Ulrich’s casting for the film had been formally confirmed, and now the actor has lastly addressed it himself!
That is proper, the Scream fave popped up on stage within the midst of the FNAF 2 panel, incomes a strong pop from everybody within the viewers (CinemaBlend included). In fact, simply because he broke his silence on the matter does not imply he opened up utterly. When requested in regards to the character he’ll be enjoying, Ulrich was unable to reveal a particular identify, although his description dovetails properly with who everybody already believes he is enjoying.
When requested if he might affirm his function, Ulrich mentioned:
I can’t. I want I might, however I used to be informed I can’t. What I can say I play someone with a really specific and particular previous, and someone with a really deep emotional tie to what’s happening.

Okay, so he did not get to go there, and it should not actually shock anybody, for the reason that first movie saved quiet about Ulrich’s fellow Scream alum Matthew Lillard taking over the function of creepster antagonist William Afton, so there is not any motive for the actor to share such secrets and techniques this early. The identify would not imply a lot to informal viewers, both, regardless that it looks as if that a part of the viewers could be the minority at an occasion like SDCC.
Ulrich did begin off by sharing thanks for the chance to be all up within the FNAF universe. As he put it:
I can not inform you how honored I’m to be part of this household and to be part of the fandom now that’s actually voracious.
Sadly, followers weren’t capable of witness Skeet Ulrich and Matthew Lillard sharing the stage, because the latter is busy filming in Vancouver. He did ship a video that performed simply earlier than Ulrich took the stage, and far applauding was achieved. Talking of applauding…
Jason Blum Is Down To Maintain The FNAF Franchise Rising
As legitimately thrilling as it’s to have Skeet Ulrich probably not provide up that a lot new information about his FNAF 2 function, it is also genuinely superior to know that Jason Blum is know totally invested in committing to Scott Cawthon’s horror creations past this primary sequel, as long as audiences are on board with him.
This is what the Blumhouse Productions namesake mentioned a few potential third movie within the Freddy Fazbear franchise:
If sufficient individuals go, we’d be very excited to make a 5 Nights at Freddy’s 3.
Make it occur, individuals! There’s an excellent probability for 5 NIghts at Freddy’s 2 to make much more cash than the primary movie’s suprisingly excessive financial institution, contemplating Jason Blum will right the error of releasing it on Peacock on the identical time it hit theaters.
Plus, earlier than the film hits theaters, FNAF 2 is getting a devoted attraction at Common’s Halloween Horror Nights 2025, and I really feel just like the groups will be capable of begin promoting it extra now that the trailer is out and there will not be as a lot fear about spoiling sure characters’ involvement.
That includes “greater than thrice as many animatronics,” (in addition to some other upcoming horror film) in line with director Emma Tammi, 5 Nights at Freddy’s 2 will hit theaters on December 5, 2025.
