Megan Fox
Blumhouse Productions brought plenty of thrills to New York Comic Con this year with its annual BlumFest 2025 panel — a celebration marking 15 years of the studio’s horror legacy. Fans were treated to exclusive previews, surprise appearances, and one major casting reveal: Megan Fox has joined the voice cast of Five Nights at Freddy’s 2 as the fan-favorite animatronic Toy Chica.
Blumhouse founder Jason Blum kicked off the event reflecting on the studio’s journey and future. “I’m most proud of discovering new talent — people who bring fresh ideas and energy into horror,” he told the audience.

Director Emma Tammi confirmed Fox’s role as Toy Chica during the panel, explaining that the actress’ own children are longtime fans of the franchise. “She’s been hearing about Five Nights at Freddy’s for years,” Tammi said. “She really wanted to honor the games but still make Toy Chica her own — and she absolutely delivered.”
Fox joins MatPat as Toy Bonnie and Kellen Goff as Toy Freddy, alongside returning cast members Josh Hutcherson, Matthew Lillard, Elizabeth Lail, and Piper Rubio. The sequel hits theaters on December 5, 2025, and promises even more lore, animatronics, and jump scares.
The first Five Nights at Freddy’s movie became a global hit in 2023, earning nearly $300 million worldwide and setting a new record as Blumhouse’s highest-grossing film. The tagline for the new sequel teases higher stakes: “Anyone can survive five nights. This time, there will be no second chances.”Ethan Hawke Returns in The Black Phone 2
Fans also got an early look at The Black Phone 2, with Ethan Hawke, Mason Thames, Madeleine McGraw, and author Joe Hill appearing to discuss the sequel. Hill, who wrote the original short story more than 20 years ago, praised the team’s dedication to character-driven storytelling.
Hawke recalled hearing the idea for the sequel from director Scott Derrickson while pacing an airport terminal. “He described the whole movie to me right there,” Hawke said. “It was such a brilliant idea — I knew people were going to love it.”
McGraw shared that her character, Gwen, is in a very different place this time. “She’s older now, more withdrawn. The trauma has shaped her,” she explained. Co-star Miguel Mora added that the film dives deep into grief and emotional recovery, calling it “a powerful story disguised as a horror film.”
Blumhouse Expands Its World of Fear
The panel wrapped with a surprise reveal of Sleep Awake, an upcoming Blumhouse video game from Eyes Out Studio and Nine Inch Nails’ Robin Finck. The title explores a world where falling asleep means vanishing forever — blending horror with psychological mystery.
As the night ended, Jason Blum summed up his excitement for the studio’s next chapter: “Working with passionate new storytellers is what keeps me inspired. Horror is evolving, and so are we.”
With Megan Fox stepping into Freddy Fazbear’s world and Ethan Hawke returning for another terrifying chapter, Blumhouse once again proved it’s the heartbeat of modern horror.
