Paramount has unveiled plans for a highly anticipated film adaptation of the popular video game franchise, Call of Duty, set to premiere in theaters on June 30, 2028. This announcement was made during a presentation at CinemaCon, highlighting the collaboration between director Peter Berg and writer Taylor Sheridan, who is known for his work on the acclaimed series Yellowstone and its spin-offs.
The Call of Duty franchise has achieved remarkable success, selling over 500 million copies worldwide. Paramount secured the film rights from Activision in September 2025, leading to this adaptation after years of speculation. While no casting details or plot specifics have been disclosed, both Sheridan and Berg bring extensive experience in the action and military genres, with previous works that include Sicario and Lone Survivor.
This film marks a significant direction for Taylor Sheridan, whose prolific output at Paramount has included numerous successful shows like 1883 and Mayor of Kingstown. As the entertainment landscape evolves, the merger between Paramount's Skydance and Warner Bros. Discovery for approximately $110 million reflects broader industry trends.
