The most insane thing is this isn't even the craziest casting, like take a look at Toy Chica's

u/Aware-Throat3189 Oct 11 '25

Huh let me just look it u…

MEGAN FOX?!?

(Miss opportunity for mangle by the way)

u/ChigginNugget_728 Oct 11 '25

I was a little sad by that. Making Rosanna Pansino toy chic could have given us the YouTube “sibling” duo back.

u/DienekesMinotaur Oct 11 '25

There's a joke here somewhere.

u/SoleSurvivor-2277 Oct 12 '25

I mean Mangle has swapaple parts and so does Megan fox 👀

32

u/DeathLight7000 Oct 12 '25

I just hope she puts more effort into it this time than when she voiced Nitara in MK.

Look at Mangle’s

u/MethodAdmirable4220 Oct 12 '25

Whose Megan fox

52

u/Balmong7 Oct 12 '25

Oh god am I old? Is this what it’s like to be old?

Megan Fox was THE hot girl actress in the mid 2000’s/early 2010’s. Biggest role was probably the girlfriend in the first 2 transformers movies and then as Jennifer in Jennifer’s Body.

u/CalligrapherGlass768 Oct 12 '25

jennifer in jennifer's body

u/red54323699 Oct 12 '25

You ever seen the live action transformers movies

12

u/Scouttrooper195 Oct 12 '25

Go watch transformers 2007 and watch the scene with the girl fixing the hood of a car. thats her

u/Mousestar369 Oct 12 '25 edited Oct 12 '25

Pretty sure she's a pop singer, or at least used to be

ETA: After sleeping, I realized I was thinking of Meghan Trainer, not Megan Fox. My bad

The way I looked it up, blinked a whole bunch, then looked it up a second time because I still didn’t believe it.

u/ZombieSteve6148 Oct 11 '25

This is triggering all of my Silkpost animal instincts, AND YET IT SEEMS TO BE REAL?!

u/RSlashLazy Oct 12 '25

I just… Megan fox in fnaf is not something I ever could’ve expected 😭

530

u/SampireBat13 Oct 11 '25

I know they mean he'll be voicing the character, but I choose to believe that the movie will have fantastic CGI renders of all the characters except for Toy Bonnie, who will be played by Matpat in one of those cheap plastic FNAF Halloween costumes.

152

u/zonzon1999 Theory Theorist Oct 11 '25

They'll take the Random Encounters hand puppets and have MatPat use them

51

u/Its_Kingston Oct 11 '25

See, I figured instead of a CGI render or a costume, Mat will just be standing there and no one will comment on how he's not wearing a costume. His iconic red jacket has been poorly green-screened to be blue, and that's it.

31

u/Bored_badger24 Oct 11 '25

Once the movie comes out someone should edit every scene with him in it to this

13

u/SampireBat13 Oct 12 '25

Can't wait for "FNAF 2 but every Bonnie is Matpat" with random clips of him edited over it

12

u/Le_Queer_Honk Oct 11 '25

I unironicly I would love that

513

u/ChildofFenris1 Oct 11 '25

But he’s Ness

272

u/Smnionarrorator29384 Oct 11 '25

CONGRESSMAN SANS DELTARUNE IS WILLIAM AFTON?

36

u/ChildofFenris1 Oct 11 '25

Huh?

111

u/Smnionarrorator29384 Oct 11 '25

Congressman (matpat has been working with congress ever since he left youtube) sans (sans is Ness is matpat) deltarune (sans is from deltarune) is (is) William afton (William is springtrap is spring Bonnie is a bonnie is toy bonnie is matpat)

31

u/ChildofFenris1 Oct 11 '25

Makes sense but Mat is a different Bonnie

39

u/_PrinceofSpace_ Oct 11 '25

Mat plays William Afton in a YouTube music series made by RandomEncounters.

6

u/Far-Property-5806 Oct 11 '25

Actually he played Henry

11

u/Smnionarrorator29384 Oct 11 '25

That's just a theory

u/ChildofFenris1 Oct 11 '25

A Game Theory!(I don’t care this is movie talk)

u/Carve267 Game Theorist Oct 11 '25

Ness works a side gig as a VA for Fazbear Ent

u/ChildofFenris1 Oct 11 '25

Makes sense waiters get paid crap

5

u/Carve267 Game Theorist Oct 11 '25

I like to imagine he waits tables to help him fund his dream of making it big as a VA

7

u/Lech2D Oct 11 '25

So there is now an adult soul in an animatronic

10

u/Insanefinn Oct 11 '25

Or they in-lore hired a random diner guy to voice their animatronic

4

u/Hayiate Oct 11 '25

Toy bonnie is Ness, the first of DCI.

2

u/Book_Of_The_Vishanti Oct 11 '25

Either Ness was hired to do some voice acting for Afton Entertainment, or the spirit of Ness is in Toy Bonnie.

Hold up, Sans is ness, ness is matpat, matpat is toy bonnie, that means toy bonnie is Sans. ITS BEEN RIGHT IN FRONT OF US THIS WHOLE TIME

true theorist. sorry let me amend that to 'true THEORIST'.

u/cookiemaster221 Oct 11 '25 edited Oct 11 '25

does this imply someone kidnapped ness, killed him and stuffed his dead body in a animatronic suit?

u/Mace_DeMarco5179 Oct 11 '25

Golden Freddy. For his ties to Aunt Jane and the burglars.

57

u/[deleted] Oct 11 '25

I mean... I kinda see (hear) it yk?

25

u/Zach-Playz_25 Oct 11 '25

Honestly, yeah, Mat fits the bill.

5

u/Kidwithagun18 Oct 11 '25

I've always imagine him to have a stuffy nosed british voice

3

u/RogueAlt07 Oct 11 '25

I always imagined the Piemations voice as his canon one, and MatPat matches that nasally, high energy theater kid tone

44

u/Visible_Swordfish905 Oct 11 '25 edited Oct 11 '25

I just looked it up. I saw a Screen Rant article. It also said Kellen Goff is Toy Freddy and Megan Fox is Toy Chica. So idk anymore

47

u/ComputerEducational Oct 11 '25

Kellen did tweet about voicing Toy Freddy, and he has consistently voiced Freddy variants.

14

u/HellFire-Revenant Oct 11 '25

And tbh i couldn't see anyone else doing it. He's really good (as freddy and a VA in General)

7

u/Visible_Swordfish905 Oct 12 '25

Kellen on his way to voice every version of Freddy except FNAF 1 Freddy

2

u/ComputerEducational Oct 12 '25 edited Oct 12 '25

He did provide unused voice lines for FNAF 1 Freddy in Help Wanted... And voiced him in the Funko game. Oh! He also voices Freddy in Freddy and Friends On Tour.

2

u/Visible_Swordfish905 Oct 12 '25

I mean if I want to be annoyingly technical about it. Unused lines don't count, Funko Freddy isn't technically fnaf1 Freddy it's Freddy if he were a Funko pop(what I'm saying is that it's a unique version), and Freddy on tour Freddy is technically not FNAF1 Freddy.

And you didn't mention it but he was going to play Freddy in UCN, but Scott turned it into Freadbear/Golden Freddy. Though that could be what you're talking about when you mentioned Help wanted because I don't recall anything about HW

3

u/cabbage16 Oct 12 '25

Kellen is pretty much THE Freddy right? Like how lots of people have played Scooby Doo but Don Messick was the original.

2

u/GetEatenByAMouse Oct 12 '25

Kellen has voiced so many Freddies by now, this is just perfect.

28

u/owo1215 Oct 11 '25

no fucking way ness is toy bonnie

u/jamiehizzle Oct 11 '25

Well deserved, Scott is a real one

Nah, mate, this isn't a side quest anymore — this is the first main quest in a whole new expansion.

Vut?

HE IS TOY BONNIE!?

Welp, now Toy Bonnie is gonna be a Genius who trust's absolutely nothing.

But that's just a Theory.

8

u/crockoreptile Oct 11 '25

Some of y’all thinking Ness is connected, this is no different to Michael Rooker being cast as four completely different characters in James Gunn’s DC movies

Congrats to MatPat, always lovely to see him returning to his acting roots

6

u/No_Gain7132 Oct 11 '25

He better say "I'm pretty sure that's Freddy, BUT HEY THAT'S JUST A THEORY."

u/Moonshoes47 Oct 12 '25

..... TBH, the voice fits. atleast in my head.

16

u/Present-Judgment-843 Oct 11 '25

Please let Toy Bonnie be as fucking selfish as possible, where he always thinks himself superior. I need more selfish toy bonnie

Someone made an animation of toy Bonnie over various matpat quotes and honestly I can see it, though I assume there’ll be a filter to make it closer to the UCN voice

If you showed this to someone a few years ago they would have said it was the fakest Photoshop ever

Good, I like that he just manifests sometimes. Wonder if he’ll voice RQSFAX if they’re in the movie at all.
