As the number of game adaptations rapidly increases in Hollywood, Call of Duty is poised to join the franchise. Paramount Studios has begun negotiations with Activision Blizzard to bring the popular game series to the big screen.

A Call of Duty movie will be produced

While no official agreement has been made yet, Paramount is known to be prioritizing this project. This initiative is considered the most serious step taken for a Call of Duty movie to date.

A Call of Duty film adaptation has actually been on the cards before. Director Stefano Sollima was hired in 2018, but the project never progressed beyond the scripting stage. Activision Blizzard eventually abandoned the idea. The involvement of a major studio like Paramount increases the likelihood of the project becoming a reality.

Story-driven games in the Call of Duty series, such as Modern Warfare and Black Ops, provide a strong foundation for a potential film adaptation. Therefore, the film is expected to be based on the story of one of these games.

This deal will give Activision Blizzard a strong Hollywood partner. While the game studio is hesitant to take the risk of producing a film on its own, Paramount’s experience and budget will make it much easier to bring the project to life. It’s hoped that this collaboration will produce a film that will delight fans of the series and be a box office success.
