Black Panther writer Joe Robert Cole is writing a sequel to Call of Duty
We haven't heard of any actual move on a Call of Duty film adaptation since February, when Sicario: Day Of The Soldado director Stefano Sollima signed on to adapt the video game, but it looks like Activision Blizzard, the company that publishes Call of Duty There are high hopes for this. The company has already hired Black Panther writer Joe Robert Cole to put together a script for the Call of Duty sequel, according to Variety, even though the first film has yet to be made or even have a cast. Heck, it doesn't even have a distributor, so at this stage, Activision is paying people to work on a movie that can't be made)).
Omitting the above, Variety's story says that the first film is "an adaptation of a popular video game," but that's not exactly the correct use of the word in this situation. The Call of Duty series includes many different games, most of which are completely disconnected from each other. If this is an adaptation of the first Call of Duty game, it will be a World War II movie. If this is an adaptation of Call Of Duty 4 that has the most famous storyline, it will be a modern war movie with several different war stories. If it's an adaptation of the recently released Call Of Duty: Black Ops 4, it won't have a story at all other than people complaining all the time. This is all aside from the fact that Joe Robert Cole now needs to write a sequel that could be a direct continuation of what Sollima is doing.
But hey, Activision Blizzard has a ton of money. They can throw them on whatever they want))).
