Hollywood eyes the battlefield. Two weeks after Call of Duty secured a June 30, 2028 premiere, The Hollywood Reporter revealed a new film based on the shooter franchise. Oscar winner Michael B. Jordan is on board to produce and may star, while director‑writer Christopher McQuarrie of Mission Impossible fame will helm. EA will also produce, tapping into the current wave of game‑to‑screen projects.

Battlefield 6, the series’ latest title, topped 2025 sales charts, outselling Call of Duty for the first time. It shipped more than 7 million copies in its first three days and surpassed 20 million by year‑end. The movie’s creators are courting Apple and Sony, seeking a theatrical release amid a projected bidding war that could set a new studio‑deal precedent.

With Call of Duty already slated for a 2028 theatrical run, the timing feels deliberate. Producers aim to ride Battlefield 6’s commercial momentum into a high‑profile film. If Apple or Sony wins the bid, the project could become a benchmark for future game adaptations, demonstrating that blockbuster shooters can translate into mainstream cinema success in the upcoming premiere.
