Activision and Paramount signed a deal to adapt Call of Duty into a live-action feature film, with Paramount set to develop, produce, and distribute the movie. Both companies committed to honoring the franchise's rich narrative and distinctive style. A prior Activision Call of Duty film project was never released, but the franchise's popularity and cinematic game campaigns make a feature film a plausible fit. The series has sold more than 500 million copies globally, demonstrating strong commercial appeal. No release window, director, or cast details have been shared. David Ellison, Paramount's CEO and chairman, is reportedly a fan and may prioritize the project.
Call of Duty is being adapted into a live action film as part of a new deal signed by Activision and Paramount. Paramount, the film studio behind Top Gun: Maverick, will "develop, produce, and distribute a live-action feature film" based on the franchise, and "both companies are committed to honoring the brand's rich narrative and distinctive style," the companies say in a press release.
Years ago, Activision was working on a Call of Duty film that never ended up getting released, but this new movie could be a huge deal. The Call of Duty series has sold more than 500 million copies globally and the campaigns in the games tell big, cinematic, action-packed stories.
The two companies haven't shared any details about a potential release window, a director, or any stars for the cast. But David Ellison, the new CEO and chairman of Paramount, a Skydance Corporation, is apparently a big fan of the franchise, so it seems likely that the film is going to be a priority for him - especially when things like The Super Mario Bros. Movie, A Minecraft Movie, The Last of Us, and have been huge hits for other studios.
