Overview
- Universal and Blumhouse released a new trailer and poster that set the story one year later as Abby’s return to the pizzeria triggers a hunt for hidden origins.
- The footage showcases Springtrap, toy and withered versions of the core animatronics, and fan-favorite inclusions such as Balloon Boy, signaling a darker, more expansive creature lineup.
- Director Emma Tammi returns with a script from series creator Scott Cawthon, with Jason Blum and Cawthon producing.
- Josh Hutcherson, Elizabeth Lail, Piper Rubio, Matthew Lillard and Theodus Crane reprise their roles, joined by Skeet Ulrich, Mckenna Grace, Wayne Knight and Freddy Carter, plus voices from Megan Fox, MatPat and Kellen Goff.
- Coverage notes the trailer’s first look at Ulrich’s character, which many outlets suggest may be Henry Emily, as marketing ramps up following the first film’s near-$300 million global haul.
