Remember me
Last year, the Call of Duty series was confirmed to be moving into another entertainment medium, with a movie in production to bring the first-person shooter experience over to the big screen. This is coming out of a partnership between Microsoft-owned Call of Duty publisher Activision and film production company Paramount.
While updates about the project have been missing since the original announcement in September 2025, suddenly, we have a confirmed release date announcement before even a trailer.
The official Call of Duty social media account today posted that the movie will be hitting theaters on June 30, 2028:
Peter Berg (Friday Night Lights, Lone Survivor, Hancock) is directing the movie, while Taylor Sheridan (Hell or High Water, Yellowstone, Sicario) is writing the script.
In the original announcement, it was revealed that Paramount will be producing, developing, and distributing the movie, with it slated to lean into what fans expect from the franchise.
"Being entrusted by Activision and players worldwide to bring this extraordinary storytelling universe to the big screen is both an honor and a responsibility that we don’t take lightly," said David Ellison, Chairman and CEO of Paramount. "We’re approaching this film with the same disciplined, uncompromising commitment to excellence that guided our work on Top Gun: Maverick, ensuring it meets the exceptionally high standards this franchise and its fans deserve."
There's no information on the movie plot, cast, or the era this will take place in just yet. The movie could follow in the Modern Warfare or Black Ops timelines or be set in its own standalone universe separate from the games. With the current plans, fans will be waiting over two years to catch the movie, and that's if no delays hit the project.
