Leaked Inside Out 3 Footage Reveals Unexpected Voice Cameo by Markiplier

Years ago, it would’ve been a stretch to say that Markiplier had it out for a successful career in the film industry. Of course we were proven wrong with the international premiere of his first feature film, Iron Lung, which received high acclaim from critics and fans alike. With this release, Mark elevated his status higher than we ever could’ve expected from a YouTube lets-player, from the very man who received a food delivery while wearing a ball gag on camera. What act of his could possibly surpass this next? Oh, I don’t fucking know… being cast in a Disney movie?

Very recently, it was revealed that the third installment of Pixar's Inside Out was undergoing development. Inside Out 3, planned for a 2029 release, focused on a young adult Riley going through the hardships of letting go of friends and family while preparing for her biggest transition in life, starting university. The movie received the most criticism for its new set of characters, although only one stole the show for its weirdly coincidental casting.

In a leaked 3 minute long story-boarded scene, Riley is seen overworking herself while organizing her belongings. On her way down a flight of stairs she trips and hits her head on the ground. After Riley blacks out, we cut to a tilted and disarranged headquarters with all nine emotions scattered about. They faintly notice a red, diminutive, droplet-shaped figure manning the controls. His name is Blood, described by his official bio as a “fleeting fellow with quite the domineering presence,” and his voice is provided by none other than Markiplier. Of course, his predilection for blood was immensely obvious with his acting, except this time he wasn’t being soaked in it from head to toe while topless and covered in fleshy growths.

“Hi, I’m Blood…”, he states to the rest of the scattered emotions as they attempt to regain their footing. He continues on with his introduction, “Riley’s just had a subarachnoid hemorrhage, so I’ll be taking charge here.” Blood continues to act menacingly towards Joy while his body slowly but visibly inflates. “Alright wisenheimer, you’re already making me see red.” Anger shouts as he marches his way towards Blood to land a quick punch. He expands and bounces Anger away. Fear is heard mumbling in the background about Riley’s previously unaddressed fear of blood. 

Getting bigger, Blood tries to get into the heads of the emotions, “Don’t you see? Riley’s in no state to feel anymore. You did all you can, but maybe… it just wasn’t enough.” He now fills up half of the room, squishing every button and lever on the control panel to no avail. No longer responsive, he cackles loudly and repeatedly yells the words “embrace me.” The emotions then drown in Blood’s breadth.

Could this have been some humorous jab at Iron Lung's success? How could Pixar manage to even remotely acknowledge Mark’s indie production? Even on the off-chance that some ludicrous deal is in the works as we speak, we await his own response as he announces that he will be dying his hair red once again for the next 4 years.
