FNAF 2 Star Reveals Studio Hid Lore Reveals From The Cast: “That Was Crazy” [Exclusive]

by

With the digital release of Five Nights at Freddy’s 2 approaching, anticipation for the sequel is high. The movie will be available to rent on demand starting December 23rd, and fans have been carefully analyzing the trailers for clues about key mysteries, like the ‘bite of ’87’ and the history of the Afton family, as well as the complicated timeline of the haunted pizzeria. In a recent interview with ComicBook, actress Piper Rubio, who reprises her role as the brave Abby Schmidt, shared her experience returning to this scary world. While some child actors might have been frightened by the animatronic characters, Rubio said she considered them “best friends,” as she’s been a fan of the Five Nights at Freddy’s games for years.

Most actors like to be fully aware of everything happening in their films, but Josh Rubio shared that the team behind FNAF 2 did things differently to maintain secrecy. The studio deliberately left out important story details from the script, ensuring that even the leading actors would be surprised along with the audience when the movie came out.

The Explosive Lore Reveals Shocked the Star Herself

Piper Rubio isn’t just working on the Five Nights at Freddy’s movie – she’s a dedicated fan herself. She was thrilled to finally get answers to questions she and other FNAF fans have had since the very first game. But she soon realized the script she received didn’t reveal everything.

Rubio explained that some surprising details, deeply connected to the story’s background, weren’t actually written in the script. He was initially surprised, but ultimately grateful, because discovering those secrets while watching the movie was a much better experience for him.

The deliberate secrecy surrounding the film created a truly special experience for Rubio when she finally watched it in theaters. She shared that she brought a friend—a fellow enthusiast of the franchise—to the premiere, and the two were so excited they spent the entire viewing shaking each other and excitedly discussing the story details.

Fans are finally getting the answers they’ve been waiting for after years of following this series, and it’s really exciting – it was especially impactful for me to witness.

Rubio says the movie has several standout moments that really excited audiences during preview screenings. These scenes suggest the sequel will finally answer the big questions fans have had since the original game came out.

Josh Hutcherson Became a Real Life Older Brother to His On-Screen Little Sister

The show’s unfolding mystery kept actress Rubio challenged, but her connection with co-star Josh Hutcherson provided her with comfort and a feeling of family, like they were real siblings. Playing Josh Hutcherson’s character’s sister, Abby, Rubio looked up to him as a mentor, especially since he also started acting at a young age.

Rubio said he’s really helped her develop as an actress, often offering helpful advice even when she doesn’t expect it.

The close relationship between the two actors isn’t just for show. Rubio shared that Hutcherson really looked out for her, acting like an older brother in many ways. He helped her with the technical aspects of acting and even shared fun childhood activities with her. For example, he taught her how to make paper airplanes during the first movie and how to whistle on the set of the second.

Hutcherson and Rubio have a wonderful connection, making their on-set reunions joyful and energetic. Hutcherson describes excitedly running to hug Rubio whenever they see each other. As Five Nights at Freddy’s 2 becomes available for home viewing, it’s clear that the heartwarming relationship between their characters—who feel like siblings—is central to the film, despite the scary mysteries surrounding them.

You’ll be able to watch Five Nights at Freddy’s 2 at home starting December 23 through digital platforms. The 4K Ultra HD and Blu-ray versions will be released on February 17, 2026.
