The long-awaited cinematic adaptation of "Five Nights at Freddy's" is due out on October 27, 2023, and fan speculation is well underway. Is Matthew Lillard's Steve Raglan actually franchise baddie, William Afton? Is Elizabeth Lail's Vanessa going to be revealed as the villainous Vanny? And what's the deal with Mary Stuart Masterson's Aunt Jane? As heads swirl with questions and theories, fans can at least take solace in knowing ahead of time that "FNaF" will proudly feature cameos from some of the most popular gamers responsible for helping introduce Scott Cawthon's creepy survival game featuring possessed animatronics to the masses.
As has been confirmed by the trailer and from public acknowledgments, YouTubers 8-Bit Ryan, Baz, Razzbowski, FusionZGamer, and Dawko are all shown on Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria's "Employee of the Month" board. However, the biggest cameo appearance comes from CoryxKenshin, who plays the role of a cab driver.

Markiplier is ready for his close-up. The gamer (real name Mark Fischbach) is set to direct and star in a Hollywood adaptation of the horror video game Iron Lung.
To get Iron Lung onto the big screen, Fischbach will wear many hats. According to Deadline, the Ohio native — who reaches more than 34 million subscribers on his namesake YouTube channel — will finance the feature out of his own pocket. He will adapt a script he wrote himself and will serve as one of the film’s three producers, alongside Will Hyde and Jeff Guerrero. As if that wasn’t enough work already, Fischbach will direct the Iron Lung project and star in it alongside Caroline Rose Kaplan.
Iron Lung is a scare-filled game developed by David Syzmanski, who was also behind the 2018 title Dusk. Fischbach played Iron Lung on his channel a year ago, and he is now working alongside Szymanski...

YouTube’s so-called “himbo-in-chief” has launched the subscription his admirers have been waiting for. Mark Fischbach, the gamer known to 34 million subscribers as Markiplier, caused a sitewide crash when he delivered a gallery of “tasteful nudes” to a brand-new OnlyFans account.
The saga of Fischbach’s OnlyFans has been a months-long affair. In October, the beloved creator promised to share some naughty pics so long as his admirers met his conditions. All they needed to do was boost his podcasts to the top of the charts and support the documentary Markiplier From North Korea, which tells the story of Fischbach’s mother.
After the film’s release, all of the conditions were satisfied, and so the OnlyFans That Was Promised arrived. It didn’t take long before Fischbach’s fans delivered a rush of traffic so great that it flooded the platform’s servers.

‘In Space with Markiplier’ is one of YouTube’s two nominees at the first Children’s and Family Emmys
For the first time, the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences is splitting kids’ programming into its own show. The inaugural Children’s and Family Emmys will take place across two days in December, and YouTube will be rooting for the two nominated shows it distributed.
One of those YouTube Originals is In Space with Markiplier. The two-part series, which employed a choose-your-own-adventure format, arrived on YouTube Kids in April. Its titular star, whose real name is Mark Fischbach, negotiated a sequence of interstellar perils with the help of his trusty crew (i.e. viewers like you).
In Space‘s conceit earned it a nomination in the Outstanding Interactive Media category at the Children’s and Family Emmys. The show’s star pointed out the nod on Twitter.

When Donald Glover’s stunning starter home in the sleepy Los Angeles suburb of La Cañada Flintridge first hit the market in February, the listing attracted substantial publicity from Dirt and other outlets. One of the deep-pocketed folks who caught wind of the sale was Mark Fischbach, the 31-year-old gaming YouTuber better known as Markiplier. Fischbach quickly won the keys to the place, paying exactly $4 million — $15,000 over the asking price — for the estate.
Of course, it’s no surprise that Fischbach can afford to afford to pay millions for a home; he’s one of the most successful YouTubers of all time, with upwards of 15 billion lifetime video views, 29 million subscribers, and a widely reported $35 million net worth. It’s a big come up for the Hawaii-born University of Cincinnati dropout, the son of an American Army veteran and a Korean mother, who grew up poor in the Cincinnati suburbs.
