We've got a better idea of the creative forces leading the upcoming Call of Duty movie from Activision and Paramount. Peter Berg will be directing, writing, and producing the film, while Taylor Sheridan will be writing and producing.
This news comes via a report that was first broken by Deadline before being confirmed by Activision directly. Berg and Sheridan previously collaborated on the 2016 film Hell or High Water, as well the 2017 movie Wind River.
Sheridan has contributed to numerous projects over the years, including writing for the movie Sicario and more recently creating the Paramount series Yellowstone, alongside its numerous spin-off shows.
Berg previously directed movies like Hancock, Lone Survivor, and Deepwater Horizon, as well as the 2025 Netflix series American Primeval.
Activision and Paramount announced a deal to develop a Call of Duty movie back in September, with Paramount CEO David Ellison describing the film as a passion project. Shortly afterward, a report indicated that Activision had turned down a pitch from acclaimed director Steven Spielberg.
