The Five Nights at Freddy's film adapted key elements from a wide variety of sources. While many of the film's narrative elements were taken from FNAF's Clickteam series, one figure, Vanessa, stood out. Vanessa is a key player in Five Nights at Freddy's modern era, or Cooperative series, making her inclusion a unique divergence from the source material. Throughout the film, Vanessa plays a critical role, ensuring Mike's time at Freddy's goes according to plan. However, her true role has yet to be determined, as a major third-act reveal sees the character's origins altered. While Vanessa's future is left ambiguous by Five Nights at Freddy's ending, her role in the source material and new origins have major implications for the character's future.
