The Five Nights at Freddy’s 2 Movie will begin filming on 27 October<\/strong>, according to Matthew Lillard in an interview by ComicBook.com<\/a>. Lillard will once again take on the role of William Afton – aka Springtrap – in the sequel. The first movie was filmed in New Orleans, Louisiana, and it seems quite likely that the sequel will be, too.<\/p>\n

In addition to the news about filming starting soon, fans have gotten some sneak peeks at the movie’s animatronics in some X\/Twitter posts from Scott Cawthon. Fans have a lot to get excited about, given the number of recent sneak peeks surrounding the FNAF 2 movie. <\/p>\n
