What role is MatPat playing in Five Nights at Freddy's 2?

Former YouTuber and prominent internet personality Matthew Robert Patrick, better known as "MatPat," has officially announced that he will be playing the role of "Toy Bonnie" in Five Nights at Freddy's 2. On October 10, 2025, videos from MatPat's address at the New York Comic Con 2025 surfaced on X.

In it, the former Game Theorists host addressed the audience via a pre-recorded video, revealing that he will be starring in the sequel to the 2023 horror/mystery film.

MatPat said:

"Can you keep a secret? Can you? Okay. Come on. Little closer. Little closer. I want you guys to be the first to know that I am joining the Five Nights at Freddy's 2 cast. I know. I, Mr. MatPat himself, am getting to be the voice of Toy Bonnie. Yeah, I am the voice of an animatronic. Might have a little filter in there, but it is MatPat through and through."

Matthew also stated that playing an animatronic in Five Nights of Freddy's 2 was "probably the greatest honor" any game theorist could hope for. He added:

"I've gone from being a theorist about FNAF to being stuffed inside of an animatronic suit. I think that's probably the greatest honor any FNAF theorist could hope for. It's wild! Right?"

In addition to MatPat's "Toy Bonnie" role, Kellen Goff and Megan Fox have been cast as "Toy Freddy" and "Toy Chica," respectively.
