Christopher McQuarrie to Helm Battlefield Film With Michael B. Jordan, Now Being Shopped

The package is expected to trigger a costly bidding contest as producers seek a theatrical deal.

Overview

  • Industry reports Friday said Christopher McQuarrie is attached to write, direct and produce a Battlefield feature with Michael B. Jordan producing and possibly starring.
  • The team has begun pitching the project to studios and streamers, with meetings at Apple and Sony and a stated priority for a theatrical release.
  • Electronic Arts is attached as a producer, and no plot, specific game arc, wider casting, or release date has been confirmed.
  • Trade coverage expects an expensive bidding process because game rights and top-tier talent will push the deal price higher.
  • Studios see momentum after Battlefield 6 finished 2025 as the year’s best-selling game, creating a potential rivalry with Paramount’s Call of Duty movie set for June 2028.
