Jason Momoa will headline the upcoming Helldivers film adaptation, set for release on November 10, 2027, according to Variety. The Sony Pictures production will feature Momoa as a soldier in the co-op shooter franchise's dystopian universe, though his specific character remains unnamed.

The film brings together an interesting creative team. Justin Lin, best known for directing multiple Fast & Furious entries, will helm the project after proving his sci-fi credentials with Star Trek Beyond. Gary Dauberman, whose horror writing credits include It and Annabelle, is penning the script - an intriguing choice for this high-octane science fiction property.

For those unfamiliar with the source material, Helldivers is a co-op shooter franchise heavily inspired by the movie Starship Troopers. Set in a hyper-patriotic dystopia called Super Earth, the games emphasize teamwork and satirical militarism. Helldivers 2 launched in 2024 and recently expanded to Xbox platforms. With Momoa's star power and Lin's action expertise, the film adaptation aims to translate the game's unique blend of cooperative combat and dark humor to the big screen.
