Five Nights at Freddy’s: Is Markiplier in the movie?
One of the biggest questions surrounding the Five Nights at Freddy’s movie is whether or not the self-proclaimed king of the series – Mark ‘Markiplier’ Fischbach – will appear. According to Mark in a recent interview: “Everyone wants to know, there was a lot of confusion. Yeah, I can’t say anything particular about that. There was a lot of scheduling conflict. And I can’t say anything.”
It’s a very ambiguous answer that raises more questions than it does answer them, however, the YouTube star did not say no. So only time will tell if he will make some sort of cameo.
