After nearly two decades of resisting a big-screen adaptation of its flagship franchise, Activision is proceeding with development of a Call of Duty movie. Paramount Pictures and Activision officially announced at CinemaCon that the live-action film is slated for release on June 30, 2028. The studios have enlisted top-tier talent to ensure the project’s success. Peter Berg (The Survivor) will direct and co-write the script with Taylor Sheridan (creator of Yellowstone and writer of Sicario). The production team also includes David Glasser from 101 Studios and Activision president Rob Kostich. Paramount CEO David Ellison acknowledged the challenge of adapting such a large franchise and stated that the studio aims to apply the same level of rigor and quality seen in Top Gun: Maverick. Berg showcased a sizzle reel for Call of Duty at CinemaCon. The title for the new Call of Duty movie was revealed in May 2023. Following its exclusive 45-day theatrical run, the film is expected to be available on Paramount+.
Call of Duty Movie Faces Intense Competition in Summer 2028 – Clashing with Batman Spin-off and The Incredibles 3
Summer 2028 promises intense box office competition. The Call of Duty movie will face other high-profile releases. By scheduling its release for late June, the film will directly compete with Dynamic Duo, a DC animated stop-motion feature focusing on Batman’s classic partners Dick Grayson and Jason Todd, which is set to premiere on the same day. Furthermore, Call of Duty arrives in theaters just two weeks after Pixar’s highly anticipated The Incredibles 3. Despite the official release date, the plot remains a mystery. The video game series spans various eras, from its World War II roots to Cold War-era conflicts (Black Ops), contemporary settings (Modern Warfare), and futuristic conflicts (Advanced Warfare). Neither Paramount nor Activision has hinted at which historical period or characters will be adapted, and the project is simply titled Call of Duty. Industry observers anticipate that pre-production and early casting announcements will begin later this year, likely clarifying the film’s narrative.
