Producers Are Eyeing ‘Sicario 2’s Stefano Sollima To Direct the ‘Call of Duty’ Movie

Date:

Producers are looking to hire Sicario 2 director Stefano Sollima for the Call of Duty movie.

Sollima is currently in discussions to direct the launch of the Call of Duty movie franchise. He recently directed Sicario 2: Soldado starring Josh Brolin and Benicio Del Toro. The movie’s gritty tone should tell you the direction the studio is looking for in the new Call of Duty movie, The Wrap reports.

Call of Duty is a huge franchise. The series has sold over 250 million copies and had earned a total of $15 billion in sales. Other products include action figures, a card game, and a comic book mini-series.

The earlier games in the franchise were set in World War II, but later games like Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare are set in modern times or in the future. The most recent game, Call of Duty: WWII, was released on November 2, and returns the franchise to the mid-20th century roots.

On November 6, 2015, The Hollywood Reporter reported that Activision Blizzard launched a production studio called Activision Blizzard Studios and are planning a live action Call of the Duty cinematic universe in 2018 or 2019.

Project Casting featured the casting calls for the upcoming Sicario sequel, which filmed in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
