In a thrilling announcement at New York Comic Con 2025, Blumhouse has confirmed that actress Megan Fox will lend her voice to the iconic animatronic character Toy Chica in the highly anticipated sequel, Five Nights at Freddy’s 2. This major casting news, which also revealed a new movie poster, has ignited the fan community, eager to see how the next chapter in the terrifying pizzeria saga unfolds when it hits theaters on December 5, 2025.
The world of jump scares and haunted animatronics is about to get a new voice. During their panel at New York Comic Con 2025, Blumhouse officially unveiled that Megan Fox, known for her roles in action and horror, will join the cast of Five Nights at Freddy’s 2 as the voice of Toy Chica. The announcement was met with immense excitement, signaling the continued expansion of the beloved video game franchise into a cinematic universe.
This casting reveal was a highlight of Blumhouse’s presence at NYCC 2025, a confirmation eagerly awaited by fans since the immense success of the first film. The news was shared by Blumhouse and later confirmed by UPI, marking a significant step in the sequel’s production.
The Voice Behind the Terror: Megan Fox as Toy Chica
Megan Fox is no stranger to fan-favorite franchises, having starred in the Transformers and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles films, as well as the cult classic horror-comedy Jennifer’s Body. Her addition to the Five Nights at Freddy’s universe brings a recognizable name to one of its most menacing characters.
Toy Chica, for those unfamiliar with the game lore, is a distinctive and chilling antagonist. As described in IGN’s guide to the Five Nights at Freddy’s 2 game, she is a “yellow chicken with an orange beak and feet, with a bib saying ‘Lets Party!’ and pink hot pants.” Her blue eyes, which turn black, and her disappearing beak when she leaves the stage, add to her unsettling presence. Players of the game will remember the need to “put on the mask to make her go away” when she appears in the Right Air Vent. Fox’s voice will undoubtedly bring a new layer of dread to this iconic character.
Expanding the Animatronic Ensemble: New and Returning Stars
Fox joins an already impressive cast for the sequel, including notable figures from both the gaming and film communities. MatPat, a popular content creator known for his theories on the Five Nights at Freddy’s games, will voice Toy Bonnie. Kellen Goff, a seasoned voice actor who has portrayed other versions of Freddy in the games, will take on the role of Toy Freddy in the film.
The sequel will also see the return of several key actors from the original film, including:
- Josh Hutcherson
- Matthew Lillard
- Elizabeth Lail
- Piper Rubio
- Skeet Ulrich
- Wayne Knight
- Mckenna Grace
- Teo Briones
Hutcherson, who played the night security guard in the first installment, will reprise his role, navigating the terrifying animatronics of Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza once more. The blend of new and returning talent promises to deepen the film’s eerie atmosphere and expand its narrative scope.
A Legacy of Fear: The ‘Five Nights at Freddy’s’ Phenomenon
The Five Nights at Freddy’s franchise began as a series of survival horror video games created by Scott Cawthon. It quickly gained immense popularity for its unique gameplay mechanics, suspenseful atmosphere, and spine-chilling lore, becoming a global cultural phenomenon.
The first film adaptation, released in October 2023, was a phenomenal success for Blumhouse and Universal. It grossed an astounding $297 million worldwide, becoming Blumhouse’s highest-grossing film ever, even while streaming simultaneously on Peacock. The film series aims to capture the essence of the games, expanding the unsettling universe and introducing new terrifying scenarios to both loyal gamers and new moviegoers. The sequel’s tagline, “Anyone can survive five nights. This time, there will be no second chances,” hints at an even more intense and unforgiving horror experience.
Emma Tammi Returns to Direct, A New Chapter Unfolds on December 5th

Her return ensures continuity in the vision and tone that resonated with audiences. The highly anticipated sequel is scheduled to open in theaters on December 5, 2025. This release date positions the film to once again captivate audiences during the holiday season, promising to deepen the horror lore established in its predecessor and elevate the overall cinematic experience.
