There is no Call of Duty Black Ops IIII news at the moment, but if you ask me some kind of Christmas event has got to be on the way. Instead, I was surprised to hear that the Call of Duty movie has had a sequel greenlit already…… what is that you have not seen the Call of Duty movie? Well, no one has!
That is because the first Call of Duty movie has not even been released. Actually, the first Call of Duty movie does not even have a cast yet or even a production date or anything. There is a script and from what Activision have said, Black Ops appears to the be the kind of style they are going for with the Call of Duty movie.
The director that is on board for the Call of Duty movie is the same guy who did the awesome Sicario 2 that was a pretty big hit earlier this year, Stefano Sollima. From what has been said, Chris Pine who you probably know as Captain Kirk in Star Trek and Tom Hardy from Venom are the two actors that he is hoping to have in the movie. I could actually see both these guys in a Call of Duty movie.
It is pretty crazy though that the folks at Activision/Blizzard have greenlit a second Call of Duty movie before the first one has even started filming. Perhaps the huge success of last year’s Call of Duty WWII and this year’s Call of Duty Black Ops IIII has given them increased confidence in the appeal of Call of Duty?
The second Call of Duty movie is being written by the same guy who did Black Panther so at least Activision/Blizzard and the production team for the COD movie series are not cheeping out and appear to be going to top-tier talent to bring Call of Duty to the big screen.
You have to wonder though if the Call of Duty game that comes out the same time as the Call of Duty movie will have any kind of ties into the movie?
