🎬 CALL OF DUTY IS GETTING A MOVIE

Paramount confirmed the release date for the Call of Duty movie at CinemaCon 2026.

What was confirmed

• Release date: June 30, 2028 — lining up directly with the original game's 25th anniversary.
• Direction and screenplay: Berg and Sheridan — Peter Berg directs, and Taylor Sheridan, creator of Yellowstone, co-writes the screenplay.
• The franchise: over 500 million copies sold — with more than 16 years as the best-selling video game saga in the United States.

Why the date isn't a coincidence

Choosing the original game's exact 25th anniversary for the premiere is a deliberate marketing decision, not a scheduling coincidence. It gives Paramount and Activision a clear cultural anchor point for the entire promotional campaign, rather than just another summer release date.

Why Taylor Sheridan is an interesting choice

Sheridan is mainly known for serious-toned dramas like Yellowstone, not action movies based on video games. His involvement suggests the film could lean toward a more dramatic tone rather than the typical shooter-adaptation formula, though that remains to be seen.
