Speculation about the role of William Afton and a potential mid-movie reveal arises from the possibility of the secret character being either a human or an animatronic.
Jason Blum is hinting at a significant hidden character for the upcoming Five Nights at Freddy's movie. The film, based on Scott Cawthon's popular horror video game franchise, follows a troubled young man who becomes a night security guard at Freddy Fazzbear's Pizza, a run-down family entertainment restaurant. He soon uncovers a disturbing secret about the animatronics. The cast includes Josh Hutcherson, Elizabeth Lail, Kat Conner Sterling, Piper Rubio, Mary Stuart Masterson, and Matthew Lillard.
During the recent Blumfest panel at New York Comic Con 2023, our website learned that Blum and co-writer/director Emma Tammi provided some insight into the highly anticipated movie. They discussed the Easter eggs and connections to the video games, and Blum revealed that a major mystery character will appear in the adaptation. This character has not been hinted at in the marketing, and Blum gave no hints regarding whether the character is human or an animatronic.
Who Five Nights at Freddy's Secret Character Could Be
Blum and Tammi have been teasing the inclusion of numerous Easter eggs from the games in the lead up to the movie's release. Specifically, Blum has urged viewers to pay attention to the security monitor's in Mike's office. Fans of Cawthon's games have been eagerly analyzing the marketing materials for any potential hints about how the movie will adapt the source material. Tammi hinted that the movie would reference more than just the popular 2014 hit.
If Blum's hint about the monitors is related to a secret character from Five Nights at Freddy's, it is likely to be an animatronic from one of Cawthon's sequels. The movie has already been confirmed to feature the iconic bear and characters such as Bonnie the Rabbit, Foxy the Pirate Fox, Chica, Cupcake, and Springtrap. Subsequent games have introduced various evil animatronics, including Mangle, who is Foxy's counterpart in the immediate sequel, as well as The Puppet, Balloon Boy, Circus Baby, and others.

If the secret character in the Five Nights at Freddy's movie were to be revealed as human, the most probable choice would be William Afton. Afton is the original owner of the restaurant and a notorious serial killer who murdered children, resulting in their souls possessing the animatronics. Initial reports suggested that actor Lillard would portray this character, but later reports claimed he would actually be playing Mike's career counselor, Steve Raglan. Despite this, Tammi exclusively informed our website that the Scream star would be taking on an "iconic role" in his return to horror. This suggests that there may be a surprise reveal halfway through the movie, leading to the arrival of Springtrap when Afton's soul possesses the animatronic.
