Megan Fox steps into the fright-filled world of ‘Five Nights at Freddy’s 2’—but not quite how you’d expect. The actress joins the highly anticipated horror sequel as the voice of the notorious Toy Chica, one of the animatronic nightmares that fans both adore and fear. And here’s where it gets intriguing: the film is set to terrify audiences in theaters on December 5, 2025, marking yet another eerie chapter in the Freddy Fazbear saga.
Set inside the haunted, Chuck E. Cheese-style pizzeria known as Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza, the sequel promises more dark secrets, spine-chilling animatronics, and unanswered mysteries from the first film. In this follow-up, Emma Tammi is once again in the director’s chair, a move likely to satisfy fans who loved the original’s moody tension and clever adaptation of the popular video game franchise.
Alongside Fox, the voice cast is expanding in exciting new directions. YouTube star MatPat lends his voice to the mischievous Toy Bonnie, while Kellen Goff—famous for his range in video game voice acting—takes on the role of Toy Freddy. Returning from the first film is Josh Hutcherson, reprising his role as the beleaguered night security guard who barely survived the deadly animatronic onslaught. Also confirmed are Matthew Lillard, Elizabeth Lail, and Piper Rubio, who all return to face a new round of terror.
But here’s the part that’s sparking debate among horror fans: the studio hasn’t yet revealed who exactly will survive or how the sequel connects to the original’s events. Instead, they teased a cryptic tagline—“Anyone can survive five nights. This time, there will be no second chances.” That’s a chilling promise suggesting this chapter might be even darker, deadlier, and more final than before.
The first Five Nights at Freddy’s film, which hit theaters and Peacock simultaneously in October 2023, was a box office juggernaut. Grossing an astonishing $297 million worldwide, it became Blumhouse’s highest-grossing movie ever—proving once again that horror, especially when fueled by nostalgia and internet fandom, is one of Hollywood’s most powerful genres.
The sequel’s casting announcement dropped during Jason Blum’s BlumFest panel at New York Comic Con, a fitting stage for such shocking news. Blum used the opportunity to showcase Blumhouse’s upcoming horror slate, including Black Phone 2, the eerie video game Sleep Awake, and of course, Five Nights at Freddy’s 2, which instantly became the event’s most talked-about reveal.
Meanwhile, Megan Fox has been keeping busy outside the haunted halls of Freddy Fazbear’s. She recently starred opposite Michele Morrone in Millennium Media’s sci-fi thriller Subservience and showed off her comedic side in Amazon’s ensemble series Overcompensating. Fans will also remember her scene-stealing turns in the dark rom-com Till Death, the vampire flick Night Teeth, the offbeat indie Big Gold Brick, and the action-packed The Expendables 4.
But here’s the question that has horror fans fiercely divided: Can Megan Fox’s instantly recognizable voice truly capture Toy Chica’s eerie, playful menace—or will it feel too glamorous for the grimy world of Freddy’s? Will Blumhouse strike gold again, or might the sequel’s hype cast too long a shadow over its scares?
Sound off below: does this casting thrill you or leave you skeptical about where the Five Nights at Freddy’s movie universe is headed?
