Matthew Lillard Teases a More Intense ‘Five Nights at Freddy’s 2’

by

The game titled Five Nights at Freddy’s initially garnered moderate success in the independent horror genre. However, it eventually gained a devoted following and earned recognition as a standout title within its category, contributing significantly to its growing popularity.

Initially, the game spawned a franchise, and in 2023, a chilling supernatural horror film hit theaters. Produced on a budget of only $20 million, this movie astoundingly grossed an impressive $297.1 million at the box office, leading to work on a follow-up starting right away.

The sequel to “Five Nights at Freddy’s 2” is slated for release in December, and one of its prominent actors, Matthew Lillard, has hinted at a larger movie project. If you’re curious about his comments, make sure to check out our upcoming report.

During his latest interview with the press, Lillard hinted at a larger film project, but emphasized that it wouldn’t follow the typical formula of big-budget movies. Although the production cost is increased, it’s not extravagant by any means.

Lillard commented that the storytelling has significantly improved, yet the budget hasn’t skyrocketed. He referenced expensive blockbusters like $250 million, $300 million, and even $500 million films, wondering aloud about the Avengers’ cost, but emphasized we’re far from that. Instead, he likened our project to a small, independent horror movie.

Additionally, he hinted at a more thrilling narrative with increased shock moments and traditional horror elements. “However, I believe that the film has taken the lessons from its initial release, and Scott, being an exceptional storyteller, has tuned into the audience’s feedback. This is something he excels at, given his deep understanding of the community,” he further explained.

I believe he’s crafted a script that might include more shocking moments and increased action. Whether it does or not, I can’t confirm. However, I strongly feel that the upcoming film will captivate fans, and there’s a lot of anticipation building up for its release in December.

Five Nights at Freddy’s 2 will be released on December 5, 2025.
