According to a post on Ninja’s official account on Twitter, Blevins is doing voiceover work on an upcoming television show where he is one of the leading characters, although no other details were revealed.

“I actually recorded my first voice over for a main role in a tv show today” Ninja wrote in the tweet issued on Thursday. “Although I can’t share more yet, voice acting is so fun. A huge passion of mine that I’m starting to get to live out.”

Ninja clearly has his eyes on more Hollywood gigs in 2021, looking to build off a big 2020 which saw him appear on popular shows such as The Masked Singer, and work on the upcoming movie ‘Free Guy’ starring Ryan Reynolds.

Ninja has been taking his time following Mixer’s end, and even streamed on YouTube and a bit on Twitch, before making his final decision regarding the next home for his streaming career.

Ninja’s first stream back is on Thursday at 2pm CT, and he announced that he will be gifting 100 subscriptions ever 30 minutes until the stream officially started.

Ninja has already amassed over 15,000,000 followers.

Ninja is not exclusively signed to any platform, and appears to be comparing, as he previously streamed on YouTube. Aside from deciding on his next streaming move, Ninja also is focusing on a career in Hollywood.

While his numbers on Mixer never came close to what he was doing with his Twitch streams, Ninja’s first stream back on Twitch clocked close to 100,000 viewers only 15 minutes since he went live.

In comparison (sort of), Ninja clocked over 4 million views to this point from his first stream on Youtube, according to The Verge.

Now, it appears that Ninja has his sights set on a career in Hollywood.

Ninja is set to appear in the upcoming Ryan Reynolds movie ‘Free Guy’ that is slated to hit theaters this December, but Ninja sees it as just the beginning.

“They were like, ‘You were amazing, you’re a natural,’” Ninja said, according to the Hollywood Reporter.

“I kept telling Jess, they’re just gassing me up, saying that so I don’t think I suck. But we’re being told that it’s not gas, so I hope it’s amazing.”

Ninja is currently in negotiations as to where he will bring his streaming brand next, with Twitch and YouTube both in the mix.

Ninja’s management firm says that they are looking at all of his options, including “the ability to create content that expands beyond livestreaming through TV, film and other entertainment opportunities.”

However despite his aspirations for a bigger career in Hollywood, Ninja said that no matter what, “I’ll be gaming my entire life.”

It’s no surprise that gamers and streamers are looking to branch out. Platforms such as TikTok have been making it much easier for their TikTok content creators to get noticed, and that can often lead to opportunities in film, movies, and more. In fact, a lot of film content creators have been using the platforms to get noticed. Everyone from indie filmmakers to video game voice actors have been finding a great way to get out to the public eye.

Earlier this week, Ninja made both a test stream and a live stream, playing Fortnite, on his official YouTube channel, leading many to believe that he would indeed end up on YouTube, easily the biggest competitor to Twitch.

However it appears that Ninja’s next destination has not been decided officially as of yet, and Youtube, Twitch, and Facebook Gaming are all in on trying to land one of the industries top streamers.

According to Sports Business Journal’s Adam Stern, it’s a three-horse race between Twitch, YouTube, and Facebook Gaming to sign Ninja, with a deal expected to be finalized by the end of the summer.

On the surface it would seem that Twitch would hold the edge in negotiations. Not only do they present more monetization opportunities, directly on stream, than YouTube or Facebook Gaming, they also have history with Ninja.

Despite a rather bitter exit, Ninja did establish his brand on Twitch, and he is considered to have run one of the most successful and popular Twitch channels the platform has ever seen.

It can also be argued that Ninja was the catalyst for a lot of Twitch’s boom in popularity, as well as the industry’s biggest crossover star, creating more visibility and financial opportunities for streamers around the world, and across different platforms.

In fact, when Mixer initially signed Ninja to an exclusive contract a year ago, it spurned activity from all platforms to starting inking their most popular streamers to exclusive deal, creating even more business, and more profitability for content creators.

While Ninja didn’t help Mixer from the eventuality of folding, a lot can be blamed on the contract structure, and how Mixer conducted business. Judging from how things ended for the once-promising platform, it’s fair to come to the conclusion that Microsoft had no clue how to manage, or develop, a successful online streaming platform.

Now it comes down to who will offer a combination of money and opportunity, as the three biggest platforms try to reel in what is easily the industry’s biggest free agent.

Wherever Ninja lands, it will set off another wave for the industry, and can show the power of free agency in the realm of content creation.

Some asked if he would make his way back to Twitch, where he reached superstar level and earned millions before defecting to Mixer, and rumors even surfaced that he may be teaming up with other streamers to form a new platform.

Well, we may have gotten a hint about his next move, as Ninja publicly posted a “test” stream to his YouTube account, but it seems to be an accident as the stream was posted without a thumbnail, title, or updated description, according to Fortnite leaker HYPEX.

On Monday, Ninja’s wife and manager Jessica Blevins stated on Twitter that Ninja something exciting was coming this week, which many expected would be the official announcement.

Now, it appears that Ninja may be announcing his new deal with YouTube.

YouTube has been making waves in their battle for streaming supremacy with Twitch, who currently sits convincingly at the top. Over the past year YouTube has inked 100 Thieves content creators CouRage and Valkyrae to deals, and now may be on the verge of announcing the addition of Ninja as well.
