Skeet Ulrich Finally Broke His Silence On Five Nights At Freddy’s 2 Role, And I’m Just As Excited By What Jason Blum Teased

by

2021 is turning out to be an amazing year for FNAF enthusiasts, with things only looking up from here. The highly anticipated trailer for Five Nights at Freddy’s 2 was released ahead of schedule on the day of the Blumhouse sequel’s major San Diego Comic-Con panel, and we’ve all benefited greatly from it. Coinciding with this announcement, longstanding rumors about Skeet Ulrich’s role in the movie were finally confirmed, and now the actor himself has spoken up on the matter!

In the heat of the FNAF 2 panel, the beloved figure from Scream made an appearance, causing a collective cheer from the audience, including TopMob. Yet, even though he spoke up about the topic, he didn’t reveal all his secrets. When questioned about his character, Ulrich remained cryptic, not revealing the exact name, but hinting at a connection with who fans already suspect him to be playing.

When asked if he could confirm his role, Ulrich said:

I’m unable, but I’ve been informed that I can’t. However, I portray a character who has an exceptional and precise background, and a profound emotional attachment to the events unfolding.

Essentially, since the first movie didn’t reveal Matthew Lillard as William Afton in the role of the antagonist, it’s understandable that the actor wouldn’t spill the beans about his character this early. Besides, the name might not ring a bell for casual viewers, even though they may be a minority at an event like SDCC.

Initially, Ulrich expressed gratitude for being part of the FNAF universe, as he phrased it:

As a humbled newcomer, I feel incredibly privileged to join this esteemed film community and immerse myself in a fanbase that’s insatiably passionate about their shared love for cinema.

Regrettably, due to Matthew Lillard being occupied with filming in Vancouver, fans missed out on seeing him share the stage with Skeet Ulrich. However, Lillard managed to send a video that was played before Ulrich took over, which received a warm round of applause from the audience. Now, let’s talk about applause…

Jason Blum Is Down To Keep The FNAF Franchise Growing

It’s truly thrilling that Skeet Ulrich doesn’t reveal much about his role in FNAF 2, but equally fascinating to learn that Jason Blum is fully committed to expanding Scott Cawthon’s horror universe beyond this first sequel, provided the audience supports him.

According to what was stated by the person associated with Blumhouse Productions, there’s a possibility for a third movie in the Freddy Fazbear series.

If enough people go, we’d be very excited to make a Five Nights at Freddy’s 3.

Let’s bring it home, everyone! There’s a strong possibility that Five Nights at Freddy’s 2 might earn even more revenue than the initial film’s unexpectedly large box office collection. This is due to Jason Blum rectifying the error by not simultaneously releasing it on Peacock and in theaters.

Moreover, prior to its theater release, the game FNAF 2 will have a dedicated attraction at Universal’s Halloween Horror Nights 2025. I believe that with the trailer now out, the teams will find it easier to promote this event, as there will be less concern about revealing characters’ roles prematurely.

Director Emma Tammi reveals that Five Nights at Freddy’s 2, boasting “over three times as many mechanical monsters,” is set to terrify audiences in movie theaters on December 5, 2025.
