Jimmy "MrBeast" Donaldson has made another major step into the movie world by announcing his part in an upcoming big budget film set to release at some point in 2027.
There's no doubt that MrBeast has dominated the internet and social media world, as he's not only the most subscribed-to YouTuber by a significant margin, but he also possesses hundreds of millions of followers across other platforms like TikTok and Instagram.
He even tried to launch a bid to buy TikTok at one point when it was seemingly up for sale, and that would have joined his already impressed portfolio of businesses that looks like it will continue to grow with new investments.
One area that he's clearly interest in expanding his influence within is Hollywood though, as he's now added another big credit to his growing acting career that could signal big things ahead for Donaldson on the silver screen.

As reported by Dexerto, MrBeast has now joined the cast of The Angry Birds Movie 3 – the third instalment in the incredibly popular animation adaptations of the record-breaking mobile game – and it's scheduled to release in 2027.
He has already made a number of albeit small appearances in animated films across recent years, with a bit part in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem, alongside voicing Panda Pig in Kung Fu Panda 4 a year later.
He also took on the role of the Master of Ceremonies in the fourth volume of Netflix's Love, Death & Robots, which was a considerably bigger role than he had previously held.
This particular job was perfect for him though, as he was asked to don a game show persona which he has had plenty of practice perfecting with the success of his YouTube channel and Beast Games on Amazon Prime.
The scale of Donaldson's role and what it will actually end up being in Angry Birds 3 is currently unknown, but he is also joined by fellow creator Salish Matter, alongside returning cast members like Jason Sudeikis, Josh Gad, and Rachel Bloom.
Some other significant names in Hollywood that are joining the cast are Emma Myers – who you might have watched in Wednesday or A Minecraft Movie – in addition to Lily James, Keke Palmer, and Tim Robinson.
With bigger and bigger films under his belt, who knows what the future could hold for MrBeast, and perhaps it won't be long until he'll end up in a starring role thanks to his success as a social media creator.
