29-year-old Tyler ‘Ninja’ Blevins is one of the most popular names associated with the world of Fortnite. A pioneer in the streaming era, his rise to global fame has been unprecedented, with a staggering 24 million subscribers on YouTube to his name.<\/p>\n
Ninja even had over 14 million followers on his Twitch channel, before he made a move to Mixer in 2019.<\/p>\n
The poster boy of Fortnite and a shining example of the video-game success story, Ninja has helped defy a prevailing sense of skepticism when it comes to video-games as a profession.<\/p>\n
From receiving his very own Fortnite skin as an icon to being an inspiration for budding Fortnite pros, his career trajectory has witnessed a remarkable growth.<\/p>\n
However, since Mixer shutdown, Ninja hasn’t been streaming much, except for the occasional throwback videos on YouTube. In light of this, it appears that Ninja is eyeing a career in Hollywood as he attempts to expand his horizons and global reach.<\/p>\n
Fortnite pros Ninja, Dr Lupo react to Joe Rogan’s ‘Video Games are a Real Problem’ comment<\/a>.<\/p>\n Fame and recognition go hand in hand, and it was only a matter of time before word of Ninja’s success reached the ears of Hollywood. Ninja is no stranger to the world of television- from being a guest on The Jimmy Fallon Show<\/strong> to the Ellen Show<\/strong>, he has also participated in shows such as Family Feud <\/strong>and The Masked Singer<\/strong>.<\/p>\n He has also featured in a 2016 documentary titled A Gamer’s Life <\/strong>and was set to star in Jumanji: The Next Level<\/strong>, but his portion was ultimately cut from the theatrical release.<\/p>\n Ninja didn’t take it to heart, and recently, got his big break by landing a role in Ryan Reynolds’ Free Guy,<\/em><\/strong> which is set to release later this year. He is set to feature alongside fellow streamers- Imane ‘Pokimane’<\/strong> Anys and Lannan ‘Lazarbeam’<\/strong> Eacott’.<\/p>\n The science fiction film has an interesting premise involving the plight of an NPC (non-playable character) played by Reynolds in an open-world game, which is a cross between Grand Theft Auto<\/strong> and Fortnite.<\/strong><\/p>\n Recently, Ninja gave an exclusive interview to The Hollywood Reporter<\/strong>, where he spoke about a wide range of topics, predominantly his interest in going to Hollywood. He even tweeted about being excited for the future:<\/p>\n In an exclusive interview with The Hollywood Reporter<\/a>, Ninja gave his honest opinion on a shift to Hollywood:<\/p>\n Movies, voice-acting, cartoons….I’m looking at anything.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n While this might worry Fortnite fans a bit, he reassured them by saying that he would ‘be gaming all his life’.<\/p>\n You can read Ninja’s entire interview here<\/a>.<\/p>\n With Twitter being the quickest to react, several fans from the online community responded to this news.<\/p>\n Ninja is one of the most bankable streamers on the planet and has a huge fanbase. These are certainly the traits that Hollywood would be looking to capitalize upon, as Ninja gears up for a brand new Hollywood crusade.<\/p>\n Tags:<\/b> Saahil Agnelo Periwal <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Ninja’s tryst with Hollywood<\/h2>\n
