Paramount has announced a major film deal with Call of Duty publisher Activision to bring the iconic first-person shooter to the big screen with an official film adaptation. Paramount and Activision announced their partnership today, September 2, confirming that the film production company will develop, produce, and distribute a live-action feature film based on Call of Duty, with the aim of delivering on "the hallmarks of what fans love about the iconic series."
Details on the actual movie are still unknown, but a film adaptation of Call of Duty is something fans have been requesting for years. The series remains one of the largest franchises in gaming history, having sold over 500 million copies globally and held the position of the number one best-selling video game series in the United States for 16 consecutive years. While Paramount's partnership with Activision marks a major moment for the series, it isn't the first time Activision has attempted to adapt a Call of Duty movie. After finding a director in Sicario 2: Soldado's Stefano Sollima, the project was eventually canned by Activision in 2020, five years after its initial announcement.
