YouTuber Markiplier explains why he has not appeared in the Fnaf movie

In a YouTube livestream titled FAZBEAR NIGHTS, Markiplier officially announced that he was not a part of the Five Nights At Freddy's movie. At the seven-minute mark, the content creator said:

"I did want to say, straight-up, without any qualification - I am not going to be in the Five Nights At Freddy's movie. And, I know that's crushing and I know that is disappointing, and I know there's a lot of people that really were hoping that would be the case... but I wanted to say, unequivocally, that unfortunately, I am not."

Mark claimed there was nothing "malicious" behind his decision not to appear in the live-action Five Nights At Freddy's:

"It is not anything malicious, it is not being snubbed. It is not anything like that. I don't want anyone to think that. It is simply a matter... it is not anything like that."

Mariplier confirmed that the long-awaited collaboration was supposed to happen. However, plans fell through due to a "conflict of schedule" because Fnaf and his film, Iron Lung, were being shot at the same time:

"It was supposed to happen. There was a time that was supposed to occur and, unfortunately, and I saw this a coming a while away. But unfortunately... the Five Nights At Freddy's movie and my movie, Iron Lung, were being filmed at the exact same time... it just so happened to be a conflict of schedule."
