Following the success of the Five Nights at Freddy’s movie, it’s no surprise that a sequel would soon follow. Josh Hutcherson (The Hunger Games), who plays night guard protagonist Mike Schmidt, confirmed in an interview with Variety that Five Nights at Freddy’s 2 is in development.
“I know they’re in the process right now of nailing down the story, and they want to get going as soon as possible,” Hutcherson said. “Obviously, the fans are amazing and die hard. For me to be a part of it was was so cool and phenomenal.”
With the cliffhanger ending of the first movie leaving the door wide open for a wide range of possibilities, this isn’t the last we’ll see of William Afton, the game’s overarching antagonist who last got springlocked.
A Hunger Games reunion also happened via text, with Jennifer Lawrence (The Hunger Games, No Hard Feelings) texting Hutcherson her congratulations. “Jen texted me when “Freddy’s’ came out,” Hutcherson said. “She was like, ‘My movie’s #1 on Netflix, and yours is #1 at the box office! Let’s go!’ I was like, ‘I love you!’”
We’re excited to see where the story goes in Five Nights at Freddy’s 2, so stay tuned for more details.
