Feel like it's for one of 2 things if true A. Pretty often shown backstory scenes with a young Afton with a portion of it set in his youth and maybe not long before the pizzeria opens along with a scene or 2 of taking Garret and yellow rabbit scenes Or B. Something like the Garret scenes in the first film but with Afton instead of Mike and it focusing on bits and pieces of Afton's life and people in Afton's life or adult Afton essentially being what the children were in Mike's dream in the first film
This is very exciting, but at the same time, I wanna see MORE of Matthew Lillard! I definitely think we still will, but excited regardless for the movie!
in the OG rated R plot it was explained that they tried having another kid to replace Garret, but it was a girl (Abby) and because of that the dad left and the mom kiIIed herself
As much as I dont want someone else to play afton because I think Mathew realistically could, I trust that they know what their doing. Pretty much my whole mindset for this movie is, "I trust that scott and blumhouse knows what hes doing, so I know whatever cook up its going to be great"
@@monicadelgado5296 exactly thats why they should have him in flashback but i unfortuently think his only role in the movie will be a post credit scene with him as springtrap as a tease for the 3rd movie
This is concerning to me. I hope this is to continue the flashback sequences instead of having Afton be replaced for the majority of the sequel. If you want to explore a younger Afton, have it be Matthew Lillard. If this is only for one or two sequences, then it is fine with me.
A small part of me is a little bummed that this won't be a prequel, like in the games, but after seeing how much they cooked with the lore changes in the first movie, I still have faith in them.
I love how they say “music box” to hide the films title, but then get specific with “Young William”. They could just say “Young engineer” with descriptions for physical traits 😂
Mean, William Afton never had much screen time in the games as well, despite that he was pretty much a corrupt CEO and owner and an evil serial killer who was not only responsible for the events, but was also the cause of it. Which he’s like this kind of serial killer that not only tries to gain trust towards his victims whether through the Spring Bonnie “the Yellow Rabbit” suit or not, but also waits for his chance to strike, especially if it’s in the shadows.
More flashbacks feels right given how heavy Mikes dreams were in the first movie. More than likely a lot of this will be dream sequences, not a huge revelation and delve into william
I'm pretty sure it will probably just be a flashback of william who the younger actor will be playing. They signed on Matt for 3 films so he should be in it.
I'm not saying go crazy with it but since it's set in 2005 I hope we get some more obvious hints like a couple of 2000s song's, some references in 2000s pop culture in the far background something like that.....Because unless you really looked you could hardly tell the 1st film was set in the 2000's, if you don't put a little bit more effort in there's no point other wise
I might audition for the second fnaf movie and even if I don’t get the role I am still gonna be really really excited for the second instalment also I would love to see Jacob Elordi as Young William
TOM CAVANAGH NEEDS TO PLAY YOUNG WILLIAM AFTON Edit: I just realized Tom Cavanagh is older than Matthew Lillard holy shit LOL. He somehow still looks younger with less grey hairs.
@@al3xei87 I feel like Tom Cavanagh would've actually been a better casting than Matthew Lillard. - He's a tall guy similar to the Purple Man sprite from FNAF 2 who can make himself look old and young at the same time. - He has a similar look and smile to Matthew Lillard while maintaining a similar psychopathic energy to Elizabeth Lail. - He's capable of being sophisticated and goofy at the same time. - He previously played a murderer in a yellow suit as the Reverse Flash. - He even looks like his name is "William Afton" at a short glance of his face, moreso than Matthew Lillard. Plus, he would be cheaper and more enthusiastic to work in a goofy and popular Hollywood movie, unlike Matthew Lillard who has much higher standards and is sort of old and jaded from this kind of stuff. Also, I'm pretty sure both of these guys are Canadian.
Here’s my theory: The toy animatronics will only show up in the flashbacks (maybe we’ll see scrapped versions in the present) And the withered animatronics will be withered versions of the fnaf 1 gang and they’ll only show up in the present. The puppet will show up in both past and present, we’ll get to see their backstory in the flashbacks
Wilem would fit more for a Silver Eyes William/Dave Miller interpretation rather than a. Dave has a lot of features than would fit perfectly for Wilem but I don’t really think he would fit for a normal William. William to me is the type of person where, although a bit questionable, a normal and average guy if you see him in public
He's way too cartoony, goofy, and suspicious-looking to play a realistic serial killer from the 80s. Matthew Lillard resembles the purple sprite from FNAF 2 perfectly.
@@johnes2337 ok, William Dafoe is NOT goofy, have you not seen his performance in No Way Home? He's perfect to play the role of a deranged serial killer!
@@ryanenzokana3584 Willem Defoe looks and sounds like a cartoon character in real life.

FNAF 2 will most likely be a prequel. It explains older William not showing up as much, it explains young William afton, and it makes sense since FNAF 2 was a prequel. The movie looks great.
I hope that if Markiplier does the diner scene its a flashback to Afton and Henry Emily creating Fredbares and markiplier just goes "Hello everybody my name is Mark Plier and im server today"
I have 2 theories. One is that Charlie is still the puppet like in the games and William Noticed the puppet acting weird and found out she was possessing the puppet so he wanted to experiment so he saw garret and killed him but I’m not sure what he would posses. Two is the same but garret is the puppet an$ when William found out he wanted to do experiments so he killed the missing childrem
I mean fnaf 2 is a prequel in the games. So having Matthew lillard as William afton during a prequel might be an issue if they don’t want a whole lot of CGI
No offense to those that enjoyed FNAF the movie, but this basically confirms my suspicions with the sequel. They're gonna double down on the lore aspect for kids as opposed to simplify it back to its roots (aka making it about the game mechanics and surviving nights). I guess I didn't need to comment this, but seeing the amount of people still hype for this (probably) lame sequel has me bummed.
Dog what are you on... literally everyone wants it to explore the lore, and btw just so you know the majority of fans are now in there 20s.... fnaf 1 cane out in 2014
Markipliers role in FNAF2 will be him playing a doctor looking after Vanessa and screaming "SHUT UP NURSE!"
😂
yaay
I'M A DOCTOR
Evan peters as a young William would be peak
I would be happy with that choice
Yes! especially because he already played in that serial killer role Dahmer
Didnt he say that he was done playing bad guys ??

Finally one of the biggest mysteries will be solved.
This is very exciting, but at the same time, I wanna see MORE of Matthew Lillard! I definitely think we still will, but excited regardless for the movie!
12:53 They explain That In the Movie She died of Depression Because Garret Got Taken...
Yeah most likely suicide
died of depression
in the OG rated R plot it was explained that they tried having another kid to replace Garret, but it was a girl (Abby) and because of that the dad left and the mom kiIIed herself
@@WrathVirusOfficial that’s not canon and there was no Rated R plot you’re 🧢 🧢 ing
@@SomeGuyThatLikesToDraw it’s not Canon yeah but there was a rated R cut
Bit of a shame really, I honestly wanna see more of Matthew Lillard in the role.
I think we will, Matthew himself said he signed onto a three movie deal, so we may see both Matthew and this young William Afton equally.
hese are just flashbacks he might still appear in the current being almost dead
As much as I dont want someone else to play afton because I think Mathew realistically could, I trust that they know what their doing. Pretty much my whole mindset for this movie is, "I trust that scott and blumhouse knows what hes doing, so I know whatever cook up its going to be great"
Bro this guy is Goated always giving us news for our fav movies 🎥
FINALLY, a BIG mystery will be SLOVED!!!
What about Montana Jordan? The kid who plays Georgie cooper in young Sheldon. He might pull off a young Mathew lillard. Idk.
i could honestly see that
That would be an epic role for him.
It might be difficult with his schedule of the Young Sheldon spinoff tbh
I read that as Micheal Jordan
He might be busy with his new show
This really upset me i wish mettew lillard could still play william afton in flashback😭😭😭
Mettew Lillard is William Afton🟪🔪@@NotSxmityX
What's Matthew Lillard's role in this movie because he said that he had a three picture deal, so that means he is in the second movie, but what role.
@@monicadelgado5296 exactly thats why they should have him in flashback but i unfortuently think his only role in the movie will be a post credit scene with him as springtrap as a tease for the 3rd movie

3c films cameo? As a taxi driver or a minor character?

Today I went on twitter and they said that Willam Afton is not gonna have that much screentime.😢
He barley had any in the first one as well; this is very disappointing if true
It’s gonna be flashbacks to his young days
If anything FNAF 3 is his movie
I think the creators said we'd see more of him
Same as the first movie
Mean, William Afton never had much screen time in the games as well, despite that he was pretty much a corrupt CEO and owner and an evil serial killer who was not only responsible for the events, but was also the cause of it. Which he’s like this kind of serial killer that not only tries to gain trust towards his victims whether through the Spring Bonnie “the Yellow Rabbit” suit or not, but also waits for his chance to strike, especially if it’s in the shadows.
So FNAF 2 is going to become The Godfather part II but with possessed animatronics
that guy in the first scream movie kinda looks like a young william afton

Likely mark will be a victim
@@lightdarksoul2097 no, he will be freddy fazbear, trust me
Louis Tomlinson lowkey could be the perfect role if he were an actor
Markiplier will say this definitely, "welcome my name is markiplier" if he is a diner worker

I'm pretty sure it will probably just be a flashback of william who the younger actor will be playing. They signed on Matt for 3 films so he should be in it.
I do hope that the casting of young William reprises his role as Micheal Afton.
I love how the guy keeps referring to Mike as Josh Hutcherson.

It's not that surprising cuz fnaf 2 is a prequel to the original game so I'm guessing the movie will be doing the same thing
Five years after Freddy’s
Bro imagine if Markiplier plays the employee who gets attacked during the bite of 87'
Markiplier’s catchphrase is “Hello everybody, my name is Markiplier”

Honestly, it makes perfect sense.
Ooh we getting flashbacks? William afton flashbacks?
Just give Matthew Lillard a John Kramer's backward baseball cap??
Aren’t you gonna review Cobra Kai Part 2!!! Also in my opinion I think it was Epic and Darker!
I would be a better William Afton than any of these people they pick!

thenk you for letting me know i really appreciate it

Hey Chris can u please do a pretend scream in ur opening to prove u can see me it would mean allot❤❤❤

It makes kinda sense since FNAF 2 will be taking place in the 80s. So yes, we may be getting a young William Afton.
Edit: Nevermind
Mark needs to have a crown.
I think I know why he didn’t came back for the role

They need to get an actor for henry emaily
is that "im not your friend" ludwig in the thumbnail???? lmao

The movie is confirmed to be a sequel.
Michael C Hall should have played William Afton
fnaf 2 is a prequel to fnaf 1, as that game is set in 1987 few years after fredbears he is like 30-40s year old while fnaf 1 he is like 50-60
Mike and Abby are in this meaning it's a sequel in the movies
They’re not gonna replace the main cast, right 😰
Illiard had said he has a three picture deal of course he's gonna be in the sequel via flashbacks

No it wasn’t.
YES!!!!!!! FINALLY A BACK STORY!!!!

Oh yeah 🐻
Why are we surprised. FNaF 2 is a prequel. Of course it’s gonna be a young William
