It has been announced that a film adaptation of Activisionโ€™s Call of Duty franchise is now in the works at Paramount, with the game publisher directly involved.

The details:

  • As reported by Deadline, the project will be a live-action movie, with Paramount chairman and CEO David Ellison sharing his love of the popular FPS franchise in a new statement. "As a lifelong fan of Call of Duty, this is truly a dream come true," said Ellison. "From the first Allied campaigns in the original Call of Duty, through Modern Warfare and Black Ops, I've spent countless hours playing this franchise that I absolutely love. Being entrusted by Activision and players worldwide to bring this extraordinary storytelling universe to the big screen is both an honor and a responsibility that we don't take lightly."
  • The film is the studioโ€™s latest effort after 2022โ€™s critically acclaimed Top Gun: Maverick, but itโ€™s currently unknown who is directly involved in its production as of yet, or if the company plans to follow an existing plot from the Modern Warfare and Black Ops franchises.
  • COD is not the only major gaming franchise with a film adaptation in the works, with A24 currently working on both the Death Stranding and Elden Ring movies, while Universal is planning to create a film based on classic arcade racer OutRun. Nintendo also has a few projects in development, including its The Legend of Zelda movie and a follow-up to The Super Mario Bros. Movie.
