Is Josh Hutcherson Returning For ‘Five Night’s at Freddy’s 2’?
The nighttime security guard at the family pizza establishment hasn’t been confirmed for the sequel — but Josh has expressed his interest in coming back.
“We hoped it would connect with audiences. But I don’t think that anybody, even on our side of things, expected it to really connect the way that it did,” the Hunger Games actor told Variety in January 2024. “I’m dying to get back on set. Emma Tammi, our director, was fantastic, and it was such a fun world to play in. I’m excited to see what they are doing next.”
