With just over a year still remaining until the movie's arrival, a new release date for Five Nights at Freddy's 2, and while Josh Hutcherson is also confirmed to be returning, no other details have been shared as of now.
As part of the studio's New York Comic Con , Blumhouse has unveiled the first Five Nights at Freddy's 2 poster. The poster is a fairly straightforward image of the sequel's December 5, 2025 release date with a large number 2 above it, though does show an animatronic poking its eye out from behind a curtain, with the design being that of Toy Freddy. Check out the poster below:
What Toy Freddy's Arrival Means For Five Nights At Freddy's 2
More Versions Of Freddy May Be Coming
The seeming confirmation of Toy Freddy's introduction in Five Nights at Freddy's 2 also comes shortly after Hutcherson teased that there were going to be more animatronics brought in for the sequel that would open the franchise's world "in a big way". Given the alternate Freddy was also introduced in the first sequel game, it does fit the overall model of following in the source material's footsteps. However, considering the games find the titular pizza restaurant operational, Toy Freddy's introduction also raises curiosity as to how the movie will expand the world.
9 New Animatronics Five Nights At Freddy's 2 Can Introduce
Five Nights at Freddy's promises a scarier viewing experience and new animatronics, opening the door for many characters from the games to appear.
Though the first movie saw the pizzeria as having been closed for some time, its prior success could indicate there were multiple locations, thus leading to the development of multiple kinds of Freddy. If the sequel does take this path, it would follow up on many of the Easter eggs set up in Five Nights at Freddy's, namely The Puppet, who was teased in the prior movie's mid-credits with a version of the sequel game's song, "My Grandfather's Clock", playing, which was used to prevent him from attacking.
Our Take On Toy Freddy's Arrival
The Animatronic Could Go A Long Way To Fixing The First Movie's Major Issue
Beyond just expanding on the first movie's Easter eggs, Toy Freddy's arrival in Five Nights at Freddy's 2 gives me a lot of hope that the sequel is looking to fix one of the original's biggest complaints, which was its lack of effective jump scares compared to the games. In the 2014 sequel, Toy Freddy was a far more active threat than the original, and was designed to be larger than his companion. By introducing more animatronics like Toy Freddy, who are faster and depicted more horrifically than the first film, Five Nights at Freddy's 2 can properly put the movie franchise on the right track.
