Mckenna Grace, in a cheeky manner, unveiled a few pictures taken on the set of ‘Five Nights at Freddy’s’ and marked them as a spoiler by releasing a teaser. The actress who plays the scary character of the Puppet or the Marionette in this movie, shared the pictures with a very simple ‘bear growl’ caption that caused a whirlwind of reactions from her followers.

For Grace, this is a dreamlike situation where she had always been a fan of the game series, and also a lucky one who got the dream role of the film adaptation. The pictures she has posted have a lot more to them than just the beauty part; they are candid and a little spooky and give us the insider’s view of the film. One of the photos shows her all made up and scary as the Puppet and the other one is of her with Elizabeth Lail, the actress with whom she is going to be paired. There is even one of the Foxy animatronic in wrecked state hinting the film’s action is going to be so rough.

The response was immediate and in that particular manner of the joy of a fan base. One user perfectly illustrates the comment of a shared feeling by writing, ‘Imagine being a huge FNAF fan and then someone [says] ‘btw you’re playing the puppet in the fnaf movie’ brooo.’ It’s exactly that— the huge excitement of a fan being drawn into the world they love—that struck a note.

Another person directed their comment to the career landmark saying, ‘a girl fulfilling her dreams’ very simply. It was a sweet and concise statement that emphasizes how important this whole thing is for Grace, who is constantly updating her wonderful filmography. Someone else was surprised by her resume, noting, ‘Your f movie list is already so long it’s crazy,’ which, to be honest, is a valid point considering the variety that she has at such a young age.

Inevitably, however, no fandom moment is ever without a little bit of good-natured arguing. A post reading ‘I cannot believe you played the puppet my all time favorite’ initiated a small, and humorously, semantic war in the comments. Another person would not let slip the term ‘Marionette,’ thus igniting a discussion about the proper name of the character. It is this kind of detailed and intense discussion that characterizes passionate fan communities and finally one of them concluded the argument with, ‘you know it’s also called puppet, right?’

The buzz was not solely around Grace’s role. One very enthusiastic comment highlighted her photo with Lail saying, ‘FINALLY A PHOTO OF U AND ELIZABETH I WAITED SO FUCKGING. MUCH.’ The use of all-caps is a clear sign of the high expectation regarding the content of the behind-the-scenes photograph. At the same time, a comment in Spanish said, ‘She has a photo with the boss hahaha,’ referring to the one with the Springtrap, the main villain from the series, animatronic.

Grace’s caption which even contained a spoiler warning turned out to be a topic of conversation. One user expressed, ‘I think I can’t find any spoiler,’ and then others began to elaborate on the details in the pictures, character, plot points not revealed in the trailers, etc., that they considered hidden. It was an amusing activity for the whole group to engage.

Mckenna Grace’s post is not merely a gallery; rather it is an icon of gratitude to her fanbase—the one she is a part of. In a certain sense, by sharing these rough, fun, and slightly spooky snaps from the set, the star has become a little less far away from the fans. The reactions are a signal that the ‘Five Nights at Freddy’s’ movie was not just the release of the film but a community festival and Grace is right in the center of it, partying with everyone else. It is a pleasant moment for a young actress who surely knows how to pitch it right. This moment follows her recent celebrations at The 87 premiere and her joyful Teen Vogue cover announcement. Her career continues to flourish with projects like The Hunger Games prequel and the romance film Regretting You. Fans also enjoyed her adorable puppy interview with BuzzFeed. Meanwhile, the ‘Five Nights at Freddy’s’ franchise continues to generate buzz, as seen with the playful reunion of Matthew Lillard and Skeet Ulrich at the sequel’s premiere.
