Poki revealed the big news on Twitter moments after the release of the movie trailer on YouTube. Septiceye also followed suit. Fans were almost instantly pumped and promised to look for their fav “Poki” throughout the movie. However, some fans were also a little critical of the large no. of streamers in it. For the most part, however, this new idea of featuring influencers in movies seems interesting to most fans.
Apart from them, the movie also stars Jodie Comer, Joe Keery and Lil Rey Howery.
