Five Nights at Freddy’sstar Josh Hutcherson has confirmed that the horror movie will be getting a sequel.
While the film didn’t fare so well with critics, audiences showed up for the video game adaptation, launching it to an impressive worldwide box office gross of over $289 million.
“I know they’re in the process right now of nailing down the story, and they want to get going as soon as possible,” Hutcherson toldVariety. “Obviously, the fans are amazing and die hard. For me to be a part of it was so cool and phenomenal.
“We hoped it would connect with audiences,” he added. “But I don’t think that anybody, even on our side of things, expected it to really connect the way that it did. I’m dying to get back on set. Emma Tammi, our director, was fantastic, and it was such a fun world to play in. I’m excited to see what they are doing next.”
The first film adapted the first video game in the series, thoughit’s unclear what part of the story the sequel might cover. There’s plenty of Five Nights at Freddy’s lore to get stuck into, though, so the possibilities are endless.
“I think we would all feel so fortunate to be able to continue making movies in this universe and with these characters,“director Tammi recentlytold our sister publicationSFX Magazine. “It’ll all depend on how things go with this first one, but should we be lucky enough to make more I would absolutely want to be involved and would feel lucky to be included in those sequels, should they happen.”
