First Behind-the-Scenes Peek of Five Nights at Freddy’s 2 Movie Features Matthew Lillard on a Staircase – Fans Buzz with Theories

Ever been curious about a sneak peek into the making of the Five Nights at Freddy’s 2 movie? Well, there’s a new snippet out there, but don’t get your hopes up; it’s pretty sparse on details.

Fans of the Five Nights at Freddy’s series often juggle multiple theories about its storyline at any given time. It’s not surprising, given the game’s lore is intentionally vague, leading to a lot of speculation—and who can blame them for trying to unravel the mysteries of the game, even when some theories get a bit wild? These theories naturally spill over to the films, and when a recent set photo leaked, fans couldn’t help but start speculating about what the sequel might entail. Now, Dawko, a YouTuber famed for his Five Nights at Freddy’s gameplay content, has released some official set photos from the second movie, deepening fan intrigue even further.

Over the weekend, during a charity stream—where he was, unsurprisingly, playing Five Nights at Freddy’s—Dawko shared three different photos from the movie set. The first image shows flooring featuring toy Freddy, presumably from the same pizzeria seen in the leaked photos. Another picture reveals a toy called a Faz Talker, again with toy Freddy making an appearance. It seems to be a sort of interactive toy with the phrase “you there?” printed on it.

The last photo, perhaps the most intriguing for fans, captures director Emma Tammi conversing with Elizabeth Lail inside a house. Lail, known for her role as Vanessa in the first movie, is joined by Matthew Lillard, who portrayed the infamous William Afton, the series’ main antagonist. He’s shown overlooking them from a staircase. Those familiar with the first film know the fate of their characters was left somewhat ambiguous, and though they are set to return, this setup suggests it might be a flashback. But true to the spirit of Five Nights fans, they’ll likely piece it together long before the first trailer drops.

If you’re itching to see the full film, patience will be required, as its release is slated for December 5 this year.
