He made afton look so pathetic. ...which is accurate. Anyone who kills kids is. As intelligent as Afton is, hes very dumb. This movie is very accurate to the first 3 games
Its crazy that he said he never practiced wearing the springbonnie costume, because to me, him walking down the entrance hallway at the end is iconic now
It's cool that he doesn't try to figure out why his fans are lining up to see him, but that he's just super grateful whenever something he's worked on connected with them
I can see why his kids went crazy when they found out their dad was going to be Afton/Springtrap! Him and the animatronics are what the fans want to see!👍
Matthew not knowing how absolutely important his role is in this franchise is equal parts interesting and wholesome. No one else could have played Afton.
I always knew Matthew as Shaggy ever since I was little. Now he’s gonna be known as Shaggy and William Afton/Springtrap to me now.. What a time to be alive.
@@KingVZ2O_CapcutForgotten and left to rotten for years 27 but his spirit haunts Springtrap! After Steve's death Stu merged with Steve but seriously If he is alive He might got go hide and somewhere then plan something
I love Matthew so much, he was my favourite actor when I was a kid and now as an adult he became part of the franchise that I've adored since my teenage years, it's like he's always there...
I've watched Matthew Lillard play as Shaggy in live-action Scooby Doo and now as William Afton in FNAF. ML is a legend. Love to see more of him in the future.
my inner child had truly never been more fulfilled than when i watched the fnaf movie for the first time in theatres and matthew lillard utterly embodying william afton was a huge part of that. give this man an egot i dont care he outsold.
Seeing Matthew in this movie made me realise just how integral he has been to my cinema experience. From being a child and watching the live action scooby doo movies. To now seeing him in fantastic movies such as five nights at Freddy’s and Scream.
Matthew’s story about his kids finding out he got the offer for FNAF sounds very familiar to the story Pedro Pascal told about his nephews finding out he got an offer for The Last Of Us 😂
This is exactly what I’ve been looking for since the movie! It’s so fantastic that you got this opportunity. I love to hear what actors have to say about their roles!
I love how she mentions 20 movies and he states that he’s available!! And I 100 percent agree with mat. They did make that movie for the fans and that’s what Ive said from day one seeing this movie. They it for the fans and knocked it out of the park. And Mathew you may have one been in for a couple scenes in movie number 1 but I’ve never heard fans scream so load for one character during a movie!
I haven't had a movie theater experience that comes close to the one I had when seeing the FNAF movie since the final Harry Potter movie came out I made instant friends for the length of that movie, we were all singing and laughing and screaming together and yelling "IT'S JUST A THEORY!!" At the screen at once Everybody was so practically on their feet when Spring Trap came out The effects surrounding the suit Matthew was wearing made his entire entrance otherworldly, haunting and absolutely terrifying He moved as if he'd been in that suit forever Which is exactly how William Afton would, wearing the suit is naturally as his own skin I truly cannot wait for the next FNAF movie! I'm still over the absolute moon for getting to see it day 1 in the theater❤️ Now i have some rockin FNAF wear for the next one❤️ Thank you Matthew for taking our video game movie so seriously, listening to your kids, and paying so much attention to the games in the lore for this role It means so much to your fans and the fans of this story
Thank you for bringing my favourite character from the series after 9 years to life! You have gone up to the top of my list of celebrities i need to meet 😊😊
Yeah people wanting the entire lore setup in the first movie I feel like don't know how much they're asking for. There's like a dozen games plus books. I don't even know if 3 movies are gonna scratch the surface.
Loved this, so glad you interviewed him! He nailed spring Bonnie movements and being William in general. Him walking down the hallway as “The Yellow Rabbit” comes in is so menacing, and his eyes when he stabs vanessa scream guilt.
I’ve been a fan of Matthew for years. 13 ghosts was my fav movie with him. But now it’s fnaf. He’s a great actor and I love how chill he is. I’d love to meet him someday. Bet he’s super cool. Well done interview too! I love when people are genuine and not just superficial
It's interesting that he plays Ghostface only in the camera scene and Springbonnie in all the scenes, I think he likes the hard, I wonder how he will play as Springtrap
I'm so glad it was him because he sounds so passionate about the role, like he's just as excited as we are. Remember when everyone wanted Willem Dafoe to play the Afton? I ask myself, would we have got this level of passion from him too?! Prob not LOL
Willem Dafoe is for sure a great actor and is definitely passionate about playing great goblin but it's hard to gauge what he'd be like as William Afton
Man, I couldn't have asked for a better actor to play Spring! Matthew is not only a great actor who really sells the role, but he also seems like such a nice, respectful guy irl! Just someone you love to root for, you know?
Blows my mind that you got Matthew in this interview, with not very many followers! So glad this came into my feed. Good interview. (Outro is so loud though 😂)
The only reason why I watched Five Nights at Freddy's to begin with was because this man was in it... He's got the Midas touch... Everything he touches turns to gold! I then ended up getting very interested in the lore and did a deep dive. I ended up watching a ton of Game walkthroughs/timeline theory videos and have had many conversations with my teens about it... Both of them are avid fans... I can't wait for the next movie!!!
Is it weird that as a viewer of the game series I always pictured William Afton as this actor so when it was revealed I was so excited!! I don't know why but for years this is the guy in my head
Love that he is springtrap but i reeeeeeealy hope the second movie is a prequel were it shows him frist opening the restaurant or they introduce his son Michael
so i know this is my second comment, but i want to share my story of the fnaf movie. when i was walking in, you could already tell there was passion in this crowd, cosplay everywhere, merch on everyone. everyone is hyped. i got recognized as the purple guy straight away, a more modest approch i will say, but it was william nonetheless. it was really a you had to be there thing, and when the end credits came on, everyone was singing. i felt a childhood in me that i thought i had lost a long time ago. i was back. that movie healed me and many others. we shared that with people. we made this happen
Shaggy And FNAF Where The Best Thing To Ever Happen And When I First Saw Him In The FNAF Movie I Thought Who’s That Guy He Looks Familiar And I Heard Is The Same Guy That Played Shaggy I Was Very Happy And Seeing Him Say Like ZOINKS SCOOB IM A MAN BEHIND THE SLAUGHTER. ;)
Originally the guy who played the green goblin was gonna be willaim afton but then Matthew got it also you can really hear his past roll of shaggy in his voice
If we get fnaf movie 2 that takes place in “new and improved Freddy fazbears pizza (1986-1993), we better get some more William content and screen time
I will always remember matthew lillard for his role in the movie Scream, i remember watchin it when i was 6 and it scared the hell out of me but i loved it at the same time, and i was instantly hooked into horror movies
Also glad he got familiarized with the games (I NEED to know which playthroughs Scott sent him), but considering he’s said he didn’t know what was going on in TP The Return, and how good his performance was in that, I trust his acting skills to elevate the character even if he doesn’t know “all” the lore.
i hope he watches the interview and reads the comments, as a longtime fnaf fan, i put down my knowledge for the movie and watched it without my knowledge on purpose, as the franchise always is confusing, but the movie was great, it explained alot for people who didn't study the game beforehand it feels like. and i need to say, matthew really acted great in the movie, i'm looking forward to the next movies
I think yall did a beautiful great job and I admire the work and sweat literally into this film they respected all about fnaf and the children's audience and yeah the animatronics cause man , Mathew lillard and the rest we're🔥🔥❤️🔥🫂
Man, I'd be HONORED to play such a character. He gave us a truly perfect performance. Hats off to you, Matthew.

I'm honestly glad his kids convinced him to take the role cause he was the best part of the whole film. It's a shame he barely had any screentime.
bro was planning shit that’s why he had little screentime (my opinion..
Ya never see him in the first anyway, so it's more just an teaser or appetizer
Give it time. His best step forward was being less. He’s an enigma rn.
When we see him in the future. He’s gonna KILL this role

Very true.
@@BurningFlamesofDivineDragon the cupcake was scary too

We love him, not because of his roles, but because he is a wholesome, good human being! 👑
"planning on 3 movies" he just dropped a huge reveal!
Seeing Matthew in this movie made me realise just how integral he has been to my cinema experience.
From being a child and watching the live action scooby doo movies.
To now seeing him in fantastic movies such as five nights at Freddy’s and Scream.
Imma just say it. Matthew was the best Afton.
Matthew’s story about his kids finding out he got the offer for FNAF sounds very familiar to the story Pedro Pascal told about his nephews finding out he got an offer for The Last Of Us 😂
Matthew Lillard is a legend! Love Shaggy, Stu Macher & William Afton!
This is exactly what I’ve been looking for since the movie! It’s so fantastic that you got this opportunity. I love to hear what actors have to say about their roles!
I love how she mentions 20 movies and he states that he’s available!! And I 100 percent agree with mat. They did make that movie for the fans and that’s what Ive said from day one seeing this movie.

Bro is a legend
"With all due respect, those aren't the design choices we were curious about Mr. Afton" *BAMMMMMM*
This is so cool you go Matthew Lillard keep up the great work.
How iconic would it be if Freddy Prince Jr played Glamrock Freddy.
This man is legendary, one of my favourite actors!
I haven't had a movie theater experience that comes close to the one I had when seeing the FNAF movie since the final Harry Potter movie came out
I made instant friends for the length of that movie, we were all singing and laughing and screaming together and yelling "IT'S JUST A THEORY!!" At the screen at once
Everybody was so practically on their feet when Spring Trap came out
The effects surrounding the suit Matthew was wearing made his entire entrance otherworldly, haunting and absolutely terrifying
He moved as if he'd been in that suit forever
Which is exactly how William Afton would, wearing the suit is naturally as his own skin
I truly cannot wait for the next FNAF movie! I'm still over the absolute moon for getting to see it day 1 in the theater❤️

My beloved Matthew, you did AMAZING in this role ✨
I love how he added Stu's gesture of cleaning the knife from Scream
I respect the confidence in saying Chica and making a point about the cupcake when the cupcake is what finished him off in the movie.
Loved you as Shaggy in Scooby Doo, loved you as William Afton! Cannot wait to see you playing the role even more!!!!
He is a legend and total gem! We need to see way more of him in the next one. Like him going from the good side of William man to the murderer version
Imagine how much its gonna take to make Matthew into a rotting burnt corpse once Blumhouse and Jim Henson's Creature shop make Springtrap
Matthew killed it in the movie!! (No pun intended)
This wasn’t a bad movie at all. It’s a fun video game adapted popcorn flick that for people not versed with the games could easily follow.
Perfect explanation
Yeah people wanting the entire lore setup in the first movie I feel like don't know how much they're asking for. There's like a dozen games plus books. I don't even know if 3 movies are gonna scratch the surface.
