Spring Bonnie/Yellow Rabbit
William Afton suit
There is a lot of confusion about whether Spring Bonnie and Springtrap are the same character in Five Nights at Freddy's universe, with the games merely suggesting answers.

Balloon Boy

The final animatronic Five Nights at Freddy's game that will appear in the film is Balloon Boy. However, the film takes some liberties with Balloon Boy, as he does not appear in his animatronic form. Instead of, Balloon Boy figurines can be found throughout the pizzeria during the filmwith them scaring several characters.
Although it is not confirmed that Balloon Boy is possessed in Five Nights at Freddy'she appears to be able to move around, even appearing in the taxi in the film's post-credits scene. However, it has been theorized that Mike's brother could be Balloon Boy, making this a fun way to tie the story together. This post-credits scene could suggest that Balloon Boy will play a larger role in the sequel's story, with the first Five Nights at Freddy's film that presents him as a terrifying new threat.
Which animatronic could be in a sequel?
Almost certainly the main animatronic that will join Five Nights at Freddy's 2 when it launches in 2025 it will be Springtrap. The first film ends with William Afton in the Springtrap animatronic suit, and then all the springtraps activate. This kills him and traps him in the suit. Matthew Lillard, who played William Afton in the first film, will return in the sequelSo this means that Springtrap will be one of the new animatronics, but with William in a suit instead of him simply pulling the strings like he did in the first film.
Teasers in the end credits of the first film suggest that Puppet will join FNAF 2. A version of the song “My Grandfather's Clock” plays with the words “Come find me” overtop. This song is from the video game Five Nights at Freddy's 2, and plays when players close the Puppet's music box, which stops it from attacking. The big mystery of what happened to Mike's brother remains unsolved in the first film, and there's a chance his spirit controlled Puppet instead of Charlotte Emily in the games.
In the games, they returned as “Withered” animatronics.
The animatronics from the first film should also be back. This means that Freddy Fazbear, Chica, Foxy, Bonnie and Golden Freddy could return. However, they could all return in very different forms. In the games, they returned as “Withered” animatronics. These are the original animatronics that ended up being replaced by the newer versions. They are called “withered” because they are deteriorated and look scary compared to the animatronics in the first film. If that appears, expect the horror aspects of the sequel to ramp up.
There are also several other new animatronics that could appear. Mangle is in FNAF 2 game, an endoskeleton with a scary voice and a desire to do nothing but kill. Shadow Freddy was from the same game and could increase the scare levels since he hides in the shadows. Finally, another character from the second game remains one of the most popular in the world. Five Nights at Freddy'sand series. Toy Chica is sadistic and cruel, with a dark sense of humor. In fact, she would be a great fan-favorite addition.
