A video detailing MatPat's cameo in the Five Nights at Freddy's movie has revealed that Markiplier was supposed to play a security guard in the film, which ended up not happening due to scheduling conflicts.

The Five Nights at Freddy's movie is finally out in cinemas and streaming on Peacock and, despite being panned by critics, it seems like it's a big hit with the fans. One of the main reasons for this is no doubt because of all of the easter eggs, references, and cameos, including an appearance from MatPat that references his many, many Game Theory episodes on the series.

Although a lot of Five Nights at Freddy's references and easter eggs reference people who made the series popular through let's plays, there's also one that nods to the popular "Dream Theory" that suggests the events of the series are, you guessed it, just a dream.

MatPat isn't the only YouTuber who appears in the film, either, as CoryxKenshin also plays the role of a taxi driver who has an unfortunate encounter with a Balloon Boy figure. That's already a lot of cameos, but there was one more big fan of the series that was supposed to show up in the movie - Markiplier. Aside from MatPat, Markiplier is viewed as one of the main reasons why Five Nights at Freddy's got so popular, as his scream-laden playthroughs of the games drew a lot of people to the series when it first came out.

Just a few weeks ago, Markiplier confirmed that he was going to make a cameo in the movie, but wasn't able to make an appearance due to scheduling conflicts with his Iron Lung movie adaptation. Despite revealing that he was planned to play a role in the film, Markiplier didn't go as far as saying what he was supposed to be doing in Five Nights at Freddy's, something that has now been uncovered thanks to a video from MatPat detailing his experience on set.

Just yesterday, MatPat uploaded a video confirming he was in the film and detailing what his experience on set was like. At one point in the video, MatPat shows a video he took while in the casting room for the film, codenamed Bad Cupcake at the time of production, which showed the roles that everyone was going to be playing. MatPat notes that this is how he found out that CoryxKenshin was in the film, before pointing out that it's also where he found out that Markiplier was going to be there.

According to the poster on the wall that can be seen in the video, Markiplier was supposed to be playing a security guard at the beginning of the movie. Considering the fate of that security guard, it might be for the best that Markiplier didn't end up making an appearance, but at least we now know what the filmmakers had in mind for his cameo.
