iiTzTimmy is one of the biggest first person shooter streamers on Twitch, boasting over 2.6 million followers on the site. Like Valkyrae, he is also a member of 100 Thieves.

“The Family Plan” is centered around a suburban dad, played by Mark Wahlberg, who was once a top assassin. After his past catches up to him, he must protect his family while avoiding the consequences of his past. It was directed by Simon Cellan Jones and the script was written by David Goffeshall, who also wrote the screenplay for “Orphan: First Kill.” It filmed from October to November 2022 in Atlanta, Georgia.

It is unknown what either’s role is in the film; Valkyrae does not have a character name listed on IMDB and iiTzTimmy’s is not on the site’s cast list at the moment. Regardless of how much screen time they get, though, 100 Thieves is certainly thrilled, tweeting: “HOW DID THIS HAPPEN.”
