Do you want to see Five Nights at Freddy’s 3?
Well hold your horses, because the second one isn’t even in theaters yet. However, Matthew Lillard, who plays William Afton in FNAF movies, says that if enough of us support FNAF 2, then FNAF 3 is all but guaranteed.
“Here’s the best news. You want to know the best news,” Lillard teases during a New York Comic Con 2025 panel. “This movie comes out in December. If it’s a hit, or should I say, when it’s a hit, they will make the third film.”
This caused the audience to cheer. Now that he had them in the palm of his hand, Lillard gave them the call to action.
“It is up to you to get the third film. But here’s the best part about the third film. Does anyone know what happens in the third game? Mano a mano.”
If that doesn’t get butts in the seats for Five Nights at Freddy’s 2, I don’t know what will. Well FNAF fans, you heard Mr. Afton. Don’t wait until this one is on streaming or DVD, otherwise we might not see FNAF 3.
Five Night’s at Freddy’s 2 hits theaters on December 5.
The Five Nights at Freddy's phenomenon is lasting longer than five nights. Get up to speed, with how to play all the FNAF games in order, why Five Nights at Freddy's is the ideal starter kit for a kid wanting to get into horror, details on the characters and lore, getting to know the FNAF movie animatronics, how the movie fits in the canon of the games, and how Chuck E. Cheese is responding.
