Josh Hutcherson, the star of Five Nights at Freddy’s, recently shared some exciting details about the upcoming sequel to the Freddy-themed movie. According to him, the new movie is going to be “much bigger” and “scarier” than the first installment. In an interview with Esquire, Hutcherson mentioned that the second movie will have “higher stakes” and will introduce “more” and “different” animatronics, expanding the Freddy universe in a significant way.
He expressed his enthusiasm for the project, highlighting the challenge of balancing the expansion of the Freddy world while keeping the characters relatable and grounded.
