Christopher McQuarrie Sets ‘Battlefield’ Film With Michael B. Jordan as Package Hits the Market

The high-profile package signals Hollywood’s growing push into video game franchises.

Overview

  • McQuarrie and his partners pitched the project to Apple and Sony on Thursday with more meetings on Friday, according to multiple outlets.
  • Christopher McQuarrie is attached to write, direct, and produce the movie, with Michael B. Jordan producing and possibly starring, and Electronic Arts also producing.
  • The team is prioritizing a wide theatrical release, and several reports say Netflix may not be approached because it often favors shorter theatrical runs.
  • Key creative details have not been announced, including the plot, which game entries might inform the story, broader casting, and any release timetable.
  • Interest is fueled by Battlefield 6’s breakout 2025 sales and by a rival Call of Duty film dated for June 30, 2028 at Paramount, setting up a future box-office faceoff.
