Did Wayne Knight just spoil a plot point from Five Nights at Freddy’s 2? Apparently. 

“In the winter, a film will be coming out that is part of a franchise of very popular films. In it, something horrible will happen to me. I think you’ll enjoy it,” Knight says during an appearance recently at Indiana Comic Convention.

Unless Knight has a surprise appearance we don’t know about it, the only upcoming film he’s slated to make an appearance in this year is Five Nights at Freddy’s 2 (Yes, we checked his IMDb). That certainly qualifies as a popular franchise, as Knight teased. The film is set to hit theaters on December 5, which aligns with the winter timeframe Knight provided.

As for something horrible happening to him….well, the recent teaser did show Knight’s character in some sort of peril. To be fair, that means that the spoilery hint Knight gave isn’t that big of a deal, since the teaser hints at it.

Can Wayne Knight survive Five Nights at Freddy’s? We’ll find out this winter.
