After winning big at the box office with his directorial debut Iron Lung, YouTuber-turned-filmmaker Markiplier is taking a break from the movie scene.
“I wish I could. And that’s not even me being coy. I owe my wife a few dinners and vacations before jumping into the next project,” said Markipiler (real name Mark Fischbach) when asked if he could give fans a timeframe on when to expect his next project, in an interview with Deadline.
However, it sounds as though we won’t have to wait too long to see what Markiplier does next. “When it comes to the next thing, I already have ideas. I usually know what I want to do before I’m done with the previous project. And now I actually have options,” said the director.
Iron Lung is still thriving in cinemas, but afterwards, Markiplier wants to make the movie available to purchase digitally and at home ” as soon as possible.” The filmmaker has already made it clear that he wants the project to be as independent as possible from start to finish. “I might have to buy a bunch of Blu-ray burners and start burning Blu-rays on my own and shipping them out, manually, start an online store,” added the star. “That kind of stuff is fun, [and] doesn’t scare me too much.”
