While the Five Nights at Freddy's movie followed the first game pretty faithfully, centering security guard Mike, whose new job winds up being a real nightmare, upcoming sequel Five Nights at Freddy's 2 is set to deviate from the source material a bunch. While the protagonist catches a bit of a break in the second game, as the franchise goes back in time, Josh Hutcherson's lead won't be putting his feet up on the big screen.
"At the start of Freddy's 2, Mike's in a better place. I think that he's trying to provide a nice, stable life for Abby. I think that he's a bit more grounded than he was in the first movie," says Hutcherson to GamesRadar+, immediately dashing our hopes of Mike being able to live a normal life. "Unfortunately, Freddy's has a way of roping us all back into some madness. So the enjoyment, feeling of safety, things getting better, is a very short, short-lived sensation for Mike."
