Mark Fischbach was announced to be directing, producing, writing, and funding the Iron Lung film himself.

On February 16, 2023, David Szymanski jokingly announced on Twitter that Mark Fischbach and Seán McLoughlin (known by their online usernames Markiplier and Jacksepticeye, respectively) would be starring in a film adaptation of his game Iron Lung which Fischbach and McLoughlin both played, with a soundtrack by Andrew Hulshult, slated for a summer release. In an interview with Variety on March 8, 2023, Fischbach confirmed he was directing, writing, and acting for a film, but did not state what it was. On May 7, 2023, McLoughlin confirmed on Twitter that he would be in the film.

Pre-production

Szymanski has assisted with the script and pre-production of the film, and is also set to have a cameo in the film. Andrew Hulshult was also confirmed to be scoring the film.

Filming and post-production

On April 21, 2023, Fischbach officially announced a film adaptation of Iron Lung with the release of a teaser trailer. Additionally, Deadline Hollywood reported that Fischbach was also self-financing the film, co-starring with Caroline Rose Kaplan, and producing with Will Hyde and Jeff Guerrero; filming had already commenced in Austin, Texas. Szymanski confirmed the film is intended for a theatrical release, marking the film as Fischbach's first theatrical film; he previously directed and wrote the YouTube Original interactive films A Heist with Markiplier (2019) and In Space with Markiplier (2022). During production, Fischbach revealed that Iron Lung has the most blood of any horror film, beating Evil Dead's 50,000 gallons; as a result of the large amount of blood used on set, he had to go to the hospital from getting too much blood in his eyes. On April 29, Fischbach announced on his YouTube channel that filming had been completed, marking the beginning of the editing and post-production process.

In July 2023, Fischbach revealed that he is a member of SAG-AFTRA, and that the production of Iron Lung would be delayed due to the 2023 SAG-AFTRA strike.
