The crew behind the video game-to-movie adaptation shared the news during a Call of Duty in Culture Panel at Fanatics Fest in New York City. Director Peter Berg and co-writer Taylor Sheridan made the announcement, surprising some fans with their choice. The Modern Warfare universe, known for its modern take on the franchise and iconic characters like Soap and Captain Price, may provide hints about the movie's plot.

The franchise shifted from mid-1900s battlefields to a more contemporary setting with Call of Duty: Modern Warfare in 2019. The upcoming movie is set to release on June 30, 2028, with platforms including PC, Nintendo Switch 2, PS5, and Xbox Series X | S.
While details about the plot and cast are scarce, the decision to start the film series with Modern Warfare instead of Black Ops remains a mystery. Director Berg has not revealed whether the adaptation will follow game events or explore a new narrative. Fans eagerly anticipate updates as the movie's release date approaches.
