Call of Duty is one of the most popular and enduring video game series of all time, and now it's coming to the movies as game developer Activision has signed an agreement with Paramount to create films based on Activision properties (per THR).
As a franchise, Call of Duty focuses on different eras of military conflict stretching back to WWII, all the way into futuristic, sci-fi influenced settings across 23 main franchise games as well as multiple spin-offs. Paramount CEO David Ellison compares plans for the adaption to the success of Top Gun: Maverick, a military-focused action film that landed strongly with critics and audiences alike.
