Freddy Fazbear and his maniacal gang of animatronic pals are back to play and slay and they\u2019re bringing with them Freddy Carter Blumhouse\/Universal\u2019s Five Nights at Freddy\u2019s 2.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto     \">\n\tThe Masters of the Air thespian\u2019s casting was confirmed today in a clip shown during the pic\u2019s Hall H San Diego <a href=\"https:\/\/deadline.com\/tag\/comic-con\/\" id=\"auto-tag_comic-con_1\" data-tag=\"comic-con\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Comic-Con<\/a> presentation.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto     \">\n\tFans have speculated that Carter will play Jeremy Fitzgerald, who is the former security guard from the second game. In the clip, Carter\u2019s character, an eerie security guard dude, gives a tour to young teens of the spooky animatronic characters in the pizza place.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto     \">\n\tThe sequel follows the aftermath of William Afton (Lillard) being exposed as a serial killer, which left him spring-locked and mangled inside the Bonnie suit. Mike (Hutcherson) and Vanessa (Lail), are now on the hunt for more cursed animatronics. <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto     \">\n\tCarter joins the previously announced cast of Josh Hutcherson, Piper Rubio, Elizabeth Lail, Theodus Crane, Wayne Knight, McKenna Grace, with Skeet Ulrich and Matthew Lillard. The pic\u2019s original director Emma Tammi is also back. The videogame\u2019s architect Scott Cawthon is adapting his own game for the big screen. <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto     \">\n\tLillard wasn\u2019t here in San Diego but beamed in via video and encouraged everyone to go see the movie in  a theater (the movie is going full theatrical unlike the 2023 original which was day-and-date on Peacock and theaters). \u201cIf you go see it, they\u2019ll make a third one!\u201d beamed Lillard who then introduced his former Scream colleague Ulrich to the stage. <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto     \">\n\t\u201cI\u2019m happy to be a part of a family that\u2019s really voracious,\u201d Ulrich said. While his part still remains a mystery, the actor teased that his character is \u201csomebody who has a deep emotional tie to what\u2019s going on.\u201d Online speculation has theorized that he\u2019s robotics expert Henry Emily, one of the co-founders of Freddy Fazbear\u2019s Pizza; a former friend and business partner to Lilard\u2019s Afton. If that\u2019s the case, it\u2019s a tongue in cheek nod to the pair\u2019s reuniting since starring in Scream.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto     \">\n\tProducer Jason Blum said that despite their excitement for the first film before it came out, they didn\u2019t crack development on part 2 until they knew the original was a success. It was becoming one of the most successful day-and-date movies of all time with a staggering $291 million worldwide gross next to Dune ($410.7M WW) and Godzilla vs Kong ($470M WW). Five Nights at Freddy\u2019s was the highest-grossing horror film of 2023. It also scored Peacock viewing records at the time.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto     \">\n\t\u201cThat\u2019s bad luck,\u201d said Blum. \u201cI really encourage the creative partners no matter how confident we are about the first movie to start thinking of a second movie before the first one comes out; or else the first movie suffers.\u201d <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto     \">\n\tA fan asked if there would be a Five Night\u2019s at Freddy\u2019s Security Breach movie. Blum answered by expressing his hope for a threequel. <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto     \">\n\tJason Blum and Cawthon are producers on the film. Tammi, Beatriz Sequeira, Christopher Warner, Russell Binder and Marc Mostman are Executive Producers.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto     \">\n\tCarter recently appeared in the Buccaneer\/Paramount+ series The Doll Factory. He broke out in the role of Kaz Brekker in the Netflix \/ 21 Laps hit Shadow and Bone over two seasons. Freddy made his professional screen debut in the international hit series Free Rein. The actor is repped by by Conway Van Gelder Grant, Authentic Talent and Literary Management and Ziffren Brittenham LLP.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto     \">\n\t The movie hits theaters on Dec. 5. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Ready for round two?
