Five Nights at Freddy’s 2 Trailer Debuts at Comic-Con

The first trailer for Five Nights at Freddy’s 2 debuted at San Diego Comic-Con, unveiling a sequel set one year after the original that greatly expands the animatronic cast—including Mangle and the Marionette—and brings back returning stars Josh Hutcherson, Piper Rubio, Elizabeth Lail, and Matthew Lillard alongside newcomers Mckenna Grace and Skeet Ulrich. The story follows Mike and Abby as they confront new terrors after Abby secretly reunites with Freddy, delving deeper into the haunted pizzeria’s origins. Jim Henson’s Creature Shop promises enhanced practical effects, while the film features more direct nods to the games, like the Freddy mask gameplay mechanic. Written by game creator Scott Cawthon and directed by Emma Tammi, the movie is scheduled for a straight theatrical release on December 5, 2025. The sequel aims to build on the first film’s nearly $300 million box office run and address previous mixed reviews. With expanded lore and practical scares, the film targets both longtime fans and newcomers.
