Markiplier’s feature film debut Iron Lung is about to hit home release on the creator’s platform of choice: YouTube.

The 36-year-old creator and streamer also known as Mark Fischbach pivoted to filmmaking in the last few years, with his first feature-length horror movie released in cinemas in January to colossal success. Written, directed, edited, and starring Fischbach, and based on David Szymanski’s 2022 post-apocalyptic horror game, Iron Lung made Sam Raimi’s marooned horror Send Help sweat at the box office — and it even saw an extended theatrical release.

Now, Iron Lung will be available for to rent or buy on YouTube Movies on May 31, with a global rollout expected. The news was announced (of course) on YouTube by Markiplier on Sunday.

“I’m sorry it’s later than I thought it’d be, but it’s coming out May 31 in as many international territories as I can make work,” the creator said in his characteristically candid announcement video (below).

“It’s releasing exclusively on YouTube Movies, because I figured you guys are already here anyway. It made the most sense. They were the people that would talk to me, because I don’t know how many other companies would have, or even given me a chance of doing something like this,” he said.

“I don’t know if it’ll make much of a difference, but hey, at least I’ll be in a position that I could do something about something, and that’s a position that I wouldn’t have been in if it wasn’t for you guys. So, I am really grateful. I’m really excited to just focus on YouTube for a bit. That’s something that I’ve been wanting for a long time.”

“I figured you guys are already here anyway. It made the most sense.”

The Google-owned platform makes total sense for Markiplier’s movie. A YouTube gaming titan since 2012, Fischbach has amassed 38.6 million subscribers on the platform as of May 2026. He was included in Mashable’s inaugural Mashable 101 list of the most influential creators in 2025.

Building on his sprawling empire of followers on YouTube, Instagram, and X, Fischbach made the move into screen work of a more scripted nature, starring in and executive producing Prime Video’s The Edge of Sleep in 2024.

When it comes to sound, Mashable’s Bethany Allard said in her review that, “Right away, I was impressed by the sound quality of these earbuds.
