According to a post from the ‘Five Night at Freddy’s’ official social media account, Fox has signed on to voice Toy Chica, in addition to MatPat voicing Toy Bonnie, and Kellen Goff voicing Toy Freddy.

The ‘Five Nights at Freddy’s’ film franchise is based on the popular video-game franchise about people stuck in an abandoned restaurant where creepy animatronic character are possessed by the spirits of murdered children, who want to make other humans just like them. The Five Nights at Freddy’s Wikipedia details that “Toy Chica is a major antagonist, first appearing in Five Nights at Freddy’s 2.

A synopsis for the sequel film reads:  “One year has passed since the supernatural nightmare at Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza. The stories about what transpired there have been twisted into a campy local legend, inspiring the town’s first ever Fazfest. Former security guard Mike and police officer Vanessa have kept the truth from Mike’s 11-year-old sister, Abby, concerning the fate of her animatronic friends. But when Abby sneaks out to reconnect with Freddy, Bonnie, Chica, and Foxy, it will set into motion a terrifying series of events, revealing dark secrets about the true origin of Freddy’s, and unleashing a long-forgotten horror hidden away for decades.”

The sequel to the original 2023 blockbuster film will star Josh Hutcherson, Elizabeth Lail, Piper Rubio, Theodus Crane, and Matthew Lillard reprising their roles from the first film, in addition to new  cast members Freddy Carter, Wayne Knight, Mckenna Grace, and Skeet Ulrich.

Sally Kirkland, the Oscar-nominated actor celebrated for her fearless performances and prolific career on both stage and screen, died Tuesday morning at a hospice in Palm Springs, California, according to her representative, Michael Greene. She was 84.

Born in New York City, Kirkland was named after her mother, a fashion editor for Vogue and LIFE magazines. She began her career as a model before moving into avant-garde theatre and film, with early appearances in works by Andy Warhol and Terrence McNally, and later graduated from the American Academy of Dramatic Arts and trained under renowned mentors Philip Burton and Lee Strasberg.

Kirkland appeared in over 250 film and television productions during her 60-year career. Her mainstream breakthrough came in the 1970s with supporting parts in “The Sting” (1973) alongside Paul Newman and Robert Redford and in Barbra Streisand’s “The Way We Were.” She went on to appear in a wide range of films, including “Private Benjamin,” “Revenge,” “JFK,” “EDtv,” “Bruce Almighty,” and “Heatwave.”

Kirkland’s most acclaimed performance came in 1987’s “Anna,” where she portrayed a fading Czech actress rebuilding her life in New York while mentoring a younger immigrant, played by Paulina Porizkova. The role earned her an Academy Award nomination and a Golden Globe win.

Kirkland’s television credits include roles on “Charlie’s Angels,” “Roseanne,” “Criminal Minds,” “Falcon Crest,” and “Lou Grant.” She was also a series regular on “Valley of the Dolls.” Her final film appearance was in the 2023 comedy “80 for Brady,” alongside Lily Tomlin, Jane Fonda, Rita Moreno, and Sally Field.

Outside acting, Kirkland led a deeply spiritual and humanitarian life, and was a member of several New Age groups. Kirkland was an ordained minister in the Church of the Movement of Spiritual Inner Awareness and a teacher with the Insight Transformational Seminars. A passionate advocate, she volunteered for causes supporting people with AIDS, cancer, and heart disease, and worked with the American Red Cross to help feed the homeless.

Kirkland had recently entered hospice care in November 2025 after a period of significant health challenges, including infections and falls, and had been living with dementia. Friends had recently established a GoFundMe campaign to assist with her medical expenses after she developed complications that required hospitalization and rehabilitation.

Per PEOPLE, Kirkland was married twice — in 1975 to musician Michael Jarrett and in 1985 to jazz producer Mark Hebert. Both marriages lasted less than three years.

Comedian/actor Will Forte’s new film, Coyote vs. Acme, will be released on Aug. 28, 2026.

Variety reported that Ketchup Entertainment bought the completed, live-action and animated hybrid film from Warner Bros. Discovery in March 2025 (for reportedly around $50 million). “Coyote vs. Acme” — about Looney Tunes stalwart Wyle E. Coyote suing the Acme Corporation for all its faulty tools in his pursuit of the Road Runner — was shelved by Warner Bros. Discovery in 2023 after it was completed. The movie was greenlit by the previous regime for the streaming service HBO Max, but the team led by WBD’s CEO David Zaslav decided to abandon that strategy and focus on theatrical releases instead.

The Hollywood Reporter quoted Forte during the film’s panel at San Diego Comic-Con as saying: “I’m pretty speechless. It blows my mind. You think back to the journey this movie has taken. I had kind of given up hope at a certain point, so this is amazing.”

SDCC moderator Paul Scheer added that “this movie was not supposed to come out!” and then rolled a brief clip from the film, in which Wyle recalls all of the Acme products that failed him in his pursuit of the Road Runner — intercut with clips from the classic Road Runner animated shorts — while Johnny Cash’s rendition of “Hurt” played underneath.
