They’re not done with you.
On cue, Ulrich joined the cast on stage in Hall H. As the crowd was still in disbelief, applauding theScreamlegend, he said, “Thank you for being here. I can’t tell you how honored I am to be a part of this family and to be a part of the fandom now that is really voracious, so thank you.” While knowing that Ulrich will be in the film is the best news horror fans could hear, they wanted to know more about his role. Will he be playing Lillard’s character,William Afton’s best friendor accomplice? As much as everyone wants additional information, Ulrich’s lips are sealed.
I wish I could, but I was told I cannot. I will say I play somebody with a very particular and specific past, and somebody who has a deep emotional tie to what’s going on. Other than that, I’m not really allowed to say.
Who Could Skeet Ulrich Play In ‘Five Nights at Freddy’s 2’?
In the first movie, spoiler alert, it was revealed that Lillard’s career counselor role, Steve Raglan, was actually William Afton, a serial killer who kidnapped and murdered Mike’s (Josh Hutcherson) brother, Garrett, and the other children. He hid their bodies in the animatronics, and now their souls are under his control. The animatronics eventually turned on Afton after looking at a drawing and realizing what had really happened. Ulrich said that he will play someone with a deep emotional connection to what’s going on. So maybe he’ll portray a friend of Afton’s seeking revenge, or perhaps a relative of one of the children Afton killed. These are just guesses, so everyone will just have to wait and see.
