Overview
- Director Peter Berg confirmed on Saturday at Fanatics Fest that the upcoming live‑action Call of Duty movie will take place in the Modern Warfare universe.
- Berg is co‑writing the screenplay with Taylor Sheridan and is producing the project alongside Paramount, Activision and David Glasser’s 101 Studios.
- Call of Duty’s official accounts and multiple outlets reaffirm that the film is scheduled to open in theaters on June 30, 2028.
- The project remains in early pre‑production with casting and principal photography not yet set and industry reporting expecting prep and casting activity to ramp in 2027.
- Activision and the filmmakers emphasize a ‘human‑level’ special‑ops authenticity, the film lines up with Modern Warfare 4 and the franchise’s 25th anniversary for cross‑promotion, and some fans have praised the Modern Warfare focus while others worry about repetition and possible PR friction over past comments by Berg.
