- Paramount's Call of Duty movie is slated for June 30, 2028.
Paramount Pictures' upcoming film adaptation of the popular "Call of Duty" video game franchise will focus on realism, eschewing superhero depictions. Director Peter Berg stated the movie will not resemble a comic book tentpole, aiming instead to explore the genuine complexities and human cost of war.
The adaptation will draw heavily from the "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare" games. Berg highlighted that characters like Captain Price and Ghost are complicated individuals, and the storylines delve into the sacrifices and burdens of warriors.
This approach contrasts with the franchise's shift from its World War II origins, beginning with "Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare" in 2007. While plot and casting details remain undisclosed, Paramount announced the film in September 2025.
The "Call of Duty" movie is officially scheduled for release on June 30, 2028. Paramount has also secured the potential to expand the "Call of Duty" universe across film and television.
