Paramount’s new chairman and CEO, David Ellison, is reportedly interested in adapting Call of Duty into a film. However, the project is not yet assured. Negotiations are underway for the film rights, but there are concerns about whether Phil Spencer, the CEO of Microsoft Gaming, will support such adaptations.

In an interview, Spencer voiced hesitance regarding the necessity of film adaptations based on games, emphasizing that the success of a franchise should not rely on correlating media formats.

The journey to securing the Call of Duty film rights is ongoing, and it’ll depend on whether Paramount can convince Spencer that they understand the game well enough to adapt it thoughtfully.
