While the Five Nights at Freddy’s movie didn’t exactly sweep the critics off their feet, it certainly made waves at the box office last year. Now, Josh Hutcherson has stepped up to give us a juicy update on the sequel.
In a chat with Variety, the actor spilled the beans on the sequel’s status, revealing that things are chugging along nicely.
Everyone involved is eager to kick things into gear and get the sequel rolling as soon as possible.
According to Hutcherson, “They’re currently ironing out the details of the story and are itching to explore sooner rather than later.” It sounds like Freddy and the gang are gearing up for another thrilling ride!
It’s incredible to see how dedicated and passionate the fans are. Being part of that experience was truly amazing and unforgettable. We all hoped the film would resonate with audiences, but the level of connection it achieved was beyond anything we anticipated.
“I’m eagerly awaiting the chance to return to set. Working with Emma Tammi, our director, was an absolute pleasure, and goinginto the world of the film was a blast. I can’t wait to see what they have in store next.”
The actor also shared a heartwarming tidbit about receiving a message from his former Hunger Games co-star Jennifer Lawrence after the film’s release, coinciding with the debut of Lawrence’s own project, No Hard Feelings.
He reminisced, “Jen texted me when Freddy’s came out. She was like, ‘My movie’s #1 on Netflix, and yours is #1 at the box office! Let’s go!’ I was like, ‘I love you!'”
Meanwhile, Hutcherson’s latest venture, the wild-sounding Jason Statham action flick The Beekeeper, is currently lighting up the big screen in cinemas.
