Call of Duty movie set for June 2028 release

A Call of Duty movie will hit theaters on June 30, 2028, with Taylor Sheridan writing and Pete Berg directing. Activision head and film producer Rob Kostich announced the date at CinemaCon. The project aims to capture the game's authenticity on a human level.

Rob Kostich, head of Activision and producer on the Call of Duty movie, revealed the release date during a CinemaCon presentation. Taylor Sheridan, known for Yellowstone, is writing the script, while Pete Berg, director of Battleship, will helm the project. Kostich emphasized a careful approach, stating, “I told everyone we were only going to make a movie if it's right. In David Ellison, we found that partnership [...] We want to make sure that the authenticity of it is captured on a human level so that it feels really real and infuses that with epic scope.” The announcement comes amid a surge in video game adaptations. The Super Mario Bros. Movie became the highest-grossing film of 2026, surpassing Project Hail Mary despite mixed reviews. Street Fighter is slated for October 16, following the pattern set by Tom Holland's Uncharted film. On television, Fallout drew 83 million viewers for its second season's first week on Amazon, while The Last of Us prepares for a third season. These successes highlight Hollywood's growing interest in gaming properties.
