Though the plot details have yet to be revealed, the sequel will most likely follow the events and characters of the second game, but we wouldn’t mind seeing Josh Hutcherson’s Mike make a comeback (as well as a Markiplier cameo. MatPat simply wasn’t enough). The first film grossed $297.2 million against a budget of $20 million and became a huge streaming hit, breaking records for both Peacock and Blumhouse.
Lillard plays the franchise’s true villain, William Afton, a sadistic child murderer who poses as Mike’s career counselor in the first film. If the sequel launches an all-out film franchise, we could be seeing Lillard reprise the role for many more movies to come.
