Matthew Lillard is keeping very busy in the genre sphere. Not only does the actor have a role in Mike Flanagan’s upcoming Life of Chuck and is gearing up to release horror-themed Macabre Spirits, but the actor also confirmed to Forbes that he’ll return for Five Nights at Freddy’s 2. Five Nights at Freddy’s 2 […]
Lillard played Five Nights at Freddy’s antagonist, William Afton, who received a rather grim comeuppance at the story’s close. But Five Nights at Freddy’s fans will know that death doesn’t mean much when it comes to the games’ dense lore, and the film ends with the origin of Springtrap, one of the games’ most prominent villains. Also back handling the animatronics is Jim Henson’s Creature Shop, confirmed by producer Jason Blum with a behind-the-scenes photo.
Released in theaters and available for streaming on Peacock on the same day, the Emma Tammi-directed Five Nights at Freddy’s was Blumhouse’s highest-grossing movie of all time. In other words, it’s no surprise that the sequel was quickly greenlit.
