According to Variety, the description of «Iron Lung» from Markiplier reads: «The stars have vanished. The planets are gone. Only the people aboard space stations or starships remain to give this end a name — Quiet Admiration. After decades of decay and crumbling infrastructure, the Iron Consolidation made a discovery on a lifeless moon designated as AT-5. An ocean of blood».
«In hopes of uncovering desperately needed resources, they immediately launch an expedition», - the description continues. «A submarine is constructed, and a convict is sealed inside. Due to the pressure and depth of the ocean, the front porthole was encased in metal. If the expedition is successful, they will gain freedom. If not, another will follow. This will be the 13th expedition».
Markiplier, whose real name is Mark Fischbach, stars in the film alongside Carolina Rose Kaplan, Troy Baker, Elsie Lovelock, Kazuki Jalal, El Lamont, Isaac Mak, and Sean McLoughlin.
Elsie is a singer and actress from England, and she has numerous voice acting roles according to her IMDb page. As for Carolina, she has appeared in various TV shows, including one episode of «Orange is the New Black» and 10 episodes of «Evidence».
«Iron Lung» will be released in theaters on January 30, 2026.
Markiplier plans to release his film in 50−100 independent theaters across America, Variety reports. Reflecting on the difficult journey he has undergone, the director told the publication that he was told he «shouldn't» write, direct, produce, act, and finance the production.
«It's not that it was impossible; people have made films before, it just would have been 'extremely unwise' to try to write, direct, act, and edit a film all by myself», - Markiplier explained in December 2025. «I proved them wrong. My bathroom may be a render farm now, but I can’t wait for people to see the blood, sweat, tears, and blood that everyone involved has put into this film»
