Is Golden Freddy Vanessa Or Mike’s Little Brother In The Five Nights At Freddy’s Movie?

At one point in the trailer, we see Mike Schmidt in a field surrounded by small children, and it’s pretty likely that the children are the souls of the victims who inhabit the animatronics wreaking havoc at Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza (look at their accessories for more evidence). While there’s no guarantee that any of the children present are supposed to be Golden Freddy, the blocking formation of the children has one kid on his own. Not only is he the only one not in line, a sign that he’s not part of the original group of four, but he’s also donning bright blonde hair, the biggest visual difference from Freddy Fazbear to the Golden Freddy suit.

Not to get tin foil hat about it, but that child is played by Grant Feely, the only kid on the film’s IMDb casting without a character name. Perhaps Universal and Blumhouse elected not to reveal his character online, knowing full well that weirdos like me would glom onto that little detail and run wild with speculation. This also allows the film to build a connection to the other characters in the film, like perhaps a little brother of Vanessa.

Vanessa is shown to be a police officer and knows quite a bit about the tragedies. It’s also implied that she knows the secret of the animatronics, as well as where to find the lights to turn them all on for a performance. If I had to guess, she knows all of this because her little brother was killed by Afton in the 1980s, and her only way to visit him is by hanging out with him in the Golden Freddy suit. It would also explain why he’s shown to be such a kind presence to Abby Schmidt, as she’s also still just a child.
