Overview
- Peter Berg announced at a 'Call of Duty in Culture' panel at Fanatics Fest Saturday that the live‑action film will be set in the Modern Warfare universe and is slated to open in theaters on June 30, 2028.
- Berg is directing and co‑writing the project with Taylor Sheridan attached as a writer and creative partner, and Paramount producer David Ellison is named among the production team.
- Paramount and Activision confirmed the release date and universe on official channels but have not disclosed casting, the film’s specific plot approach, or which game characters will appear.
- The June 2028 date aligns with Call of Duty’s 25th anniversary and is expected to be coordinated with Modern Warfare 4 promotion and broader marketing across games and media.
- Studios describe the film as a single tentpole with room to expand into more films or TV if it succeeds, a move that would deepen cross‑industry ties between Activision, Microsoft and Hollywood creators.
