Call of Duty Movie to Adapt Modern Warfare Directed by Peter Berg

Paramount and Activision intend the film to serve as a flagship franchise launch tied to game promotion.

Overview

  • Director Peter Berg announced at Fanatics Fest in New York City on Saturday that the film will be set in the Modern Warfare universe.
  • Paramount has scheduled the untitled movie for a June 30, 2028 theatrical release and is coordinating promotion with the upcoming Modern Warfare 4 game.
  • Taylor Sheridan is co-writing the screenplay and will produce alongside Berg, with Activision listed as a production partner.
  • Berg publicly referenced familiar Modern Warfare figures such as Captain Price, Ghost and Makarov, though no casting or plot specifics have been released.
  • The studio’s multiyear deal leaves room for more Call of Duty films and TV projects, so the next steps to watch are casting choices, how closely the film follows game storylines, and marketing tie‑ins with Xbox-owned Activision.
