Many popularYouTubers are known for their reactions to horror games, and Fischbach has made a name for himself over the years with his video playthroughs ofAmnesia,Outlast, and Scott Cawthon’sFNAFfranchise.

In a recent stream, Markiplier spoke about a number of subjects, first and foremost being the movie he’s been working on. While he hasn’t mentioned a lot about it, fans have asked whether it’s in relation to theFive Nights at Freddy’sadaptation. The YouTuber says at around the 9:40 mark that his own project is in no way related to the survival horror series. However, later on in the video, at around the 30-minute mark, he insists, while looking straight into the camera, that he doesn’t know anything about the movie.
While maintaining this stare, Markiplier goes on to tell people not to ask him anything about theFNAFmovie, adding, “My god. The things I could definitely not tell you” about the adaptation. This has led some to believe that he may, in fact, know something. However, there’s no way to tell for sure, but Markiplier’s cheeky message to the camera could possibly hint at some knowledge.
For those who don’t know,Five Nights at Freddy’s is getting a movie, which comes from Blumhouse Productions, the horror studio known forParanormal Activity, as well as being linked to such high-profile directors as James Wan and M. Night Shyamalan. The film is scheduled to release on May 25, 2025, and is being written in collaboration with the game’s creator.
While the hype has died down now,Five Nights at Freddy’swasone of the biggest indie horror gamesof its time, with several entries in the series, as well as some spinoffs andFNAFclones. Whether the movie will be able to successfully translate Cawthon’s world to the big screen remains to be seen at this stage.
