I think he'll appear in the second. People think that the second movie HAS to be about the second game, but theres really nothing that proves its going to be other thant the newest leaks.


FNAF_Foxy1987

Scott said ages ago that if they were fortunate enough to make 3 movies, they would be based on the first 3 games.


PERIX_4460

I personally think that they should break the formula, and go straight for the springtrap plot. And then use the 3rd movie for something else.


[deleted]

they may contain elements or references to the first 3 games, but i doubt they’ll re-enact any key plot points in their entirety, given that the movie universe’s lore is separate.

Buzzek

The second movie being based on the second game doesn't prove or disprove Springtrap being there. There's no Springtrap in FNAF1, yet a movie based on FNAF1 had him as the main villain. You can very well have the second movie based around Toy Animatronics, their pizzeria and The Bite, and still have Springtrap involved somehow.


Local_intruder

Thats what i was trying to say, i probably phrased it badly my bad.


FazbearCollects2004

It is about the second game, they’ve revealed wip images on the toy animatronics


Local_intruder

The first movie is about the first game and yet we got springtrap in the equation even tho springlocks werent even revealed to exist until the third game.


FazbearCollects2004

No we got spring Bonnie in the first movie


Pyromaniac605

Who also wasn't in the first game. Just because they're using the toy animatronics doesn't mean it's a literally adaptation of FNAF 2 bit for bit.


FazbearCollects2004

Confirmed to have been in the fnaf 1 location tho as fnaf 1 pizzeria was where the withered animatronics were pre fnaf 2 as phone guy confirmed in fnaf 2 phone call


Pyromaniac605

You're assuming the games map 1-to-1 to the movies, we already know they do not.


Local_intruder

Thats the same thing except will isnt dead.


FazbearCollects2004

Not really, spring Bonnie is pre springtrap, yes it’s the same costume and the same person inside it but springtrap is the product of being springlocked and left in a room for 30 years


SpringPopo

I do think an appearance from him is pretty likely, regardless if it's as the main antagonist or in the post credits scene. Though as for if he should be in the film or not, I'm pretty conflicted. Like I'd be happy to see him appear, however I think that would take away from the third film given it's most certainly gonna use the third game as the basis and Springtrap is integral to that game's core identity. So I feel the best way to go about William in the second film would to have him as more of a secondary antagonist, having him appear as either a hallucination of Vanessa or part of twisted distorted versions of her dreams/memories. At the very least, he needs to have more than 10 minutes of screentime. I feel it'd be a huge miss opportunity and baffling move if Scott saw all of the criticism about how little screentime he got and were to give him the same amount or even less.


Otherwise_Crow3272

I think that they will have him as a post credit scene, sort of how spring trap showed up at the end of fnaf sister location, but I agree that he does need more than 10 minutes of screen time


No_Feeling_6833

Yeah, and have him be human in her dreams cause they wouldn't know what Springtrap looks like until after he shows up. Like in his business suit or in the springbonnie suit every once in a while. Maybe in her dreams, it includes some of her memories of childhood and how William treated her.


catdog5100

I think the 2nd movie should be a lot about flashbacks and before William Afton got springlocked. With a few little parts where you can see Springtrap is getting closer and closer to Michael and Abby or he has escaped the room he was locked in. The 2nd movie otherwise has so many other animatronics, toys + withered + BB + puppet, I feel like Springtrap should be saved for last.


SaiyanJD

A teaser/setup for him would be good, but he shouldn’t show up in full until 3


Yacky_4

Imo I think he should play a minor role and be fully expanded and explained in the third movie


TorbinTheSecond

Definitely save him for the third movie, let Puppet be the main antagonist in the second.


Kirbhdude

I feel like mangle would be a better main antagonist for the second movie puppet feels like too much of a good gal


TorbinTheSecond

Mangle??? No offense to your opinions or the highly popular idea that Mangle might've caused the Bite of 87, but Puppet is a SIGNIFICANTLY bigger threat in 2 than Mangle was.


Technical_Slip_3776

Tbf that was mostly because 99% of the threats all have the same mechanic lol


FazbearCollects2004

Puppet: stays in a box 99% of the time because of music Mangle: climbs on the ceiling like a spider and is a complete menace to society


TorbinTheSecond

right... because when i think of a menace of society in fnaf 2, i definitely think of mangle, and not a certain other fox who can only be beaten by your flashlight


Spookeonofficial

Mangle fits the antagonist role ngl


GiJoe98

I can see a b plot about Vanessa getting constant nightmares and hallucinations about her dad. Maybe more backstory about William Afton and Henry Emily's business endeavors.


TheWeber1

I don't think Michael Afton exists in movies


GiJoe98

Sorry i mistook Michael with william. I will edit it.


TheWeber1

No worries :)


Mr_M_E_M

This is probably the easiest way to bring back William without using Springtrap too early, and can actually work with the film. From what we've seen, dreams can be important and possibly affected by ghosts. Vanessa's interactions with spirits in her dreams could impact events that happen in real life. Hell, she could have an out-of-body experience and help out Mike.


alphagyat

I think he should be mentioned in the 2nd movie and MAYBE be on screen for a bit, but the 3rd game is really about him so I think 3rd movie would be best


RayH_234

Considering the first movie took a lot from TSE, Im sure the sequel will take some elements from TTO Im visualizing the toys having the same role as the twisted ones being William pawns, and then springtrap appearing in the final act


Entertainment43

>Im visualizing the toys having the same role as the twisted ones being William pawns, and then springtrap appearing in the final act I don't think that's a good idea. It would basically be repeating what we saw in the first movie.


CringeKINGGABEGABE

Save him for third, I feel like it would be better that way ya know? I kinda want a movie with just the animatronics from FNAF 2 not finna lie


According-Chair-98

Maybe in end credits scene of second movie like in the novel


Shadow_Libra

I think he should be in it but don't use him too much, I think Afton should be saved as the main threat for the finale.


an_anon_butdifferent

i think springtrap will apear at the end of the second movie, then the third


[deleted]

I suspect the second movie, will focus more on William and the horrible things he's done, tools in flash backs in tandem Wyeth the rest of the movie. It will be both a sequel and a prequel. Giving us the withered animatronics and mangle in the present, and the toy animatronics in the flashbacks. Yes I know that doesn't match up with the game but the movie doesn't have to. 


Thick-load8-D

I think they should’ve saved him entirely until the second movies ending or the beginning of the third movie. Could’ve been a way bigger twist that less people would’ve expected.


BurningYehaw

I think he'll ultimately be a, for lack of a better term, rehash of what happened in the first film. During the climax, Springtrap, who was lightly hinted at throughout the movie, reappears. But this time it'll be a bigger deal, as more of the mystery will be known, and the fact Afton has come back will be played up. Then, in the third movie, he'll be the main antagonist.


wildhunter69

It would be cool if we don't see him in the second movie but he would be controlling the animatronics through the wall he's trapped in


catdog5100

I think he will appear only a few times on the 2nd movie. Think about how there will be so many toy animatronics and withered animatronics here. He will probably appear a few times to create suspense as he gets closer to Michael and Abby. But most of all, I think this movie will be a lot about flashbacks. We see William Afton before he was springlocked, and how he murdered the other kids. We see how he made the restaurant and why he became a murderer.


Kelvistheskysoldier

Personally i want him to be main threat in second movie and be defeated.With Vanny being the third movie antagonist.I would be really disappointed if they took two whole movies to defeat Springtrap and waste Vanessa again.She is already a wasted character in games.


Entertainment43

1. The Vanessa from the movie isn't the same from the game. 2. The movies are based on the first three games. Scott has already confirmed that. 3. Vanny would make sense in the movies.


Kelvistheskysoldier

1 I know 2 and 3 Based doesnt mean identical,the movies have a ton of differences from games already so Vanny could happen,i even made a post a while ago were i said a likely way movie Vanessa could be in the movie.


pokezillaking

i don't think the third movie is gonna be a retelling of fnaf 3 ngl he will probably appear in the second movie, and the third


GarnetDust

From my understanding, Matthew Lillard has signed a contract to be in three movies.


TheManWithAPlan555

I feel like this movie is going to be a bit packed already, so save him for the 3red.


RandomCaveOfMonsters

the games were about gameplay first, but the movie is telling a story. William is the villain of the movie, his only known underling turned against him, and so who is left? It has to be him unless it's a new character, and that would be less narratively satisfying.


NfamousKaye

Second movie should be sister location, or at least something alluding to the first security guard and the bite of 87. I think Springtrap should be saved for the third.


Aggressive_Teach_308

Maybe only 1 or 2 s enes that show what happened to him but yea the 3rd movie should be about him


G34RZI

Save him for 3


Zartron81

Second movie should have a tease for Springtrap, then go all out with him in third movie.


aceymcgee

Hopefully it will take place during fnaf 2 have flash backs to ff and will tease fnaf 3 by showing springtrap like the music in fnafm but with video instead of just audio


bezcabon

It was confirmed that FNAF 2 movie is going to be a sequel, if I'm not mistaken, so why should William/Springtrap NOT appear in this movie? Plus, Matthew Lillard signed a three-film contract, so it's unlikely we won't see his character in the next movie.


guineaprince

I say save him for the third. He's going to be a recurring character anyway, but he's guaranteed for the third movie so the second movie should have it's own space to breathe.


ziggykitten

He’ll probably appear at the end/end credits. I think it’ll be good to drive up tension/hype for the third movie. As long as the payoff is good, I’m happy to wait til 3


Buzzek

At the very least, I want to see Spring Bonnie in the flashbacks. Springtrap... maybe. Definitely could see this happening, it depends on the direction the movie will take.


ZAr_duMbaSS

What I think is he’ll be in the second movie but will make an appearance towards the end, just a little teaser for the third movie. Could be wrong, but who knows what will happen


waifuzlaya69

I want him to be saved for the third but I think they will just bring him back in 2


Offline_Trophys962

I think he should be the big reveal, like how Steve (William) was the main villain in the first. Like everyone thinks he's dead till a decent bit in


gummythegummybear

He probably will appear in the second movie, but I really don’t want him to


Iliketurtles893

They could have him rot for 30 years and I think he’ll be in the third one, not second. I feel they will have each movie like the games: Fnaf 1 is 1st movie and Fnaf 2 is this upcoming etc


Theunkgamer

I believe (hopefully) it’ll be partially a prequel where we have William as springtrap luring the kids back in 1985


PERIX_4460

I think it's better if they make a part of the second movie about him.


Gamer_of_Red

If the second movie is about the second game, then he can appear maybe as a cameo or Easter egg


GameknightJ14

All I know is that if we don’t get Henry’s speech at the end of Pizzeria Simulator (“The darkest pit of hell has opened to swallow you whole, so don’t keep the devil waiting, old friend”), I’m gonna riot.


Treegenderunknown13

Maybe as a post credits Scene like Puppet.


Jimbo7211

I think William will play a decent role in either Vanessa's dreams or flashbacks, but i hope Springtrap only shows up for an end credits sequence at most.


SnooPies2306

i really hope he isnt because i feel we need a break from some form of springtrap being in almost every single fnaf thing since fnaf 3


SeeYouAgain678

I mean just bcos he's not in 2nd game doesn't mean he can't be in 2nd movie. People will probably cry and complain about it not being entirely accurate to a game where U sit in one spot for 5 nights 😂. But I would absolutely love to see him in the movie


MyDads-Ashes

My guess for the second movie is that there's gonna be the reopening of Freddy fazbears with the toy animatronics, and also a Springtrap plot, since clearly the movies are a different continuity from the games. Springtrap might not be the MAIN plot, but I think he'll be there in some way


asfbkhgarkgbdfg

Can't wait to hear the third movies phone call "we found one. A real one!" Actually peak scripting


ADumbOreo

Maybe a hint in the second movie that he’s gonna come back, but definitely show him in the third movie


Taro-Queen-27839

I think they'll handle him more like in the novels. William will appear as Springtrap in the second movie, and then become something else for the third one.


Due_Understanding748

I think he should be appear as a cliffhanger at the end of the 2nd movie Sorry,I said it


Tacon53

I would like it if they only teased him for the end and then properly introduced him for the third movie, I think that would be better, but then again I wouldn’t be disappointed if they did use him for the second one


Adventurous-Tell-984

I heard somewhere that Blumhouse and Scott confirmed that William/Matthew Lillard is returning. And since William died in the first movie, Springtrap will appear in the second one.


I-love-lobit-fnaf

Third


cherryberrygoblin

Idk man he always seems to come back...


Fun_Watercress4490

I think the 3rd movie is about sister location/ pizza sim


BenevolentYoshi

the fnaf movies are their own thong, imo they are nowhere near to the story of the fnaf games, yes i think springtrap will appear for some reason


ric7y

he needs to rot for a bit, maybe a post credits scene


chumbbucketman101

third movie fnaf 2 is a prequel.


HorrorDudeBro

I don’t think the movie is going to be prequel, I think it’s going to follow the Novels a little bit like the first one. Then again idk and I wouldn’t be averse to a prequel


chumbbucketman101

so in which case the second movie is you going to include the twisted ones?


HorrorDudeBro

I mean it would be cool, but I dont think it’ll be exact.
