Markiplier's Iron Lung adaptation is getting an exclusive YouTube release very soon.

The film stars Markiplier, AKA Mark Fischbach, and it's also written and directed by him. It grossed over $50 million against a $4 million budget.

Markiplier himself announced at a Cannes Film Festival panel moderated by Deadline that Iron Lung will be available for purchase on YouTube on May 31, and it's an exclusive release. That's no surprise, considering Markiplier made his name as a YouTuber. "I'm pretty loyal to it," Markiplier said during the panel.

"It's releasing exclusively on YouTube Movies, because I figured you guys are already here anyway," Markiplier also explained in a YouTube video. "It made the most sense. They were the people that would talk to me, because I don't know how many other companies would've, or even give me a chance at doing something like this."

Iron Lung, adapted from the video game of the same name, stars Markiplier as a man trapped in a submarine, traversing through an ocean of blood.

Markiplier has previously indicated that the movie will be available for physical purchase. "We're still getting the wheels turning for you to get it at home," he said back in February. "The whole translation thing is going to take some doing… But as far as getting it ready and packaged up for a home release, DVD, Blu-ray, and having it be purchasable, that is all underway."
