Ryan Reynolds has absolutely been showing everyone how to make entertainment fun. Just like with the clever marketing forDeadpool & Wolverine, it looks like another highly anticipated new movie is also getting a lively and engaging promotion.
A certain leak ofFive Nights at Freddy’s 2is already getting fans excited, with lots of chatter on social media. However, it’s hard not to compare this thriller’s promotion with Reynolds’ recent reveal about his superhero film. That’s the theory many are tossing around.
The Strategy To PromoteFive Nights at Freddy’s 2
Recently, four pages of theFive Nights at Freddy’s 2movie script were leaked. But it wasn’t a mistake — it was all part of the plan. With the announcement of the new movie, Scott Games decided to prank the fans. It was also a fun way to mark the ten-year anniversary of the first film.
The release ofFive Nights at Freddy’s: Into the Pitand the announcement of more games were already set astreatsfor fans, but this extra surprise was just the icing on the cake. The official account tweeted more details about it:
There is one more surprise before the day is over. We will be releasing one page from the actual Five Nights at Freddy’s 2 movie screenplay!Of course, it might be more interesting if it were released alongside three FAKE screenplay pages. It will be up to the fanbase to figure…
The four script pages show different scenes:

On the first page, Vanessa is chatting with Toy Chica and Abby. The second page features General Everly, who’s frustrated with a project involving the US government and Fazbear Entertainment. The third page depicts a man and two kids exploring the abandoned Freddy Fazbear. On the fourth page, Mike and Abby are talking about a children’s story involving a sick boy and his toys.

Theories are going wild that this might be a prank. Some folks think that even though all four scenes might be real, only one will make it into the final cut of the movie (viaComic Book).
There are a lot of mixed opinions on the marketing, but one thing many people agree on is thatRyan Reynoldsmight be the inspiration behind it all.
What Does Ryan Reynolds Have To Do With TheFive Nights At Freddy’s 2Scripts?
Long beforeDeadpool & Wolverinecame out, Reynolds was known for his inventive, quirky, and sometimes odd promotional strategies. His unique sense of humor became quite apparent to the public. Nowadays, it’s pretty easy to spot when he’s behind a project.
This is some Ryan Reynolds shit
In a recent chat on theHot Ones show, the actor shared an interesting detail about the original idea for the Marvel film. He revealed that there was a plan to create a “bad fake movie” with him andHugh Jackman, as a way to keep the real one under wraps.
The original idea with this movie was to shoot a fake movie called ‘Alpha Cop’, that was intentionally bad. I even had one of the posters made. It was about two guys that were sharing one brain and together they made the perfect cop.
He mentioned that the idea was thoroughly planned and discussed with directorShawn Levy, with the fake movie set to receive a lot of promotion. However, the strategy didn’t move forward because of Marvel’s prominent status.
It was meant to be kind of horrible. Like 10 people in America would go to see this movie on opening weekend and five minutes into the movie, the Marvel logo would flip up and it would actually be ‘Deadpool & Wolverine’. The problem is that if you managed to get down to the last minute and it got blown, it would just be heartbreaking.
With Scott Games’ new idea for the FNAF sequel, comparisons were quickly drawn.

Do coincidences really exist? It looks like Reynolds might be serving as an inspiration, and it wouldn’t be surprising if more creative ideas like these start appearing in future films.
Five Nights at Freddy’s 2will be released on June 14, 2025.
