It’s looking like Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson might star in a live-action Call of Duty movie.
Last Tuesday, Johnson teased that he’s in talks about a “badass” video game adaptation. The actor didn’t even hint at what the project might be, but we may finally have an answer.
A report by Giant Freaking Robot claims that Johnson’s secret video game film is Call of Duty. There’s no hint on what the movie might be about since the franchise spans multiple time periods. For example, the original Call of Duty took place during World War 2, while Call of Duty Infinite Warfare was in the future. The era doesn’t matter much to us, as long as it’s not a bad video game adaptation.
Of course, it’s not official yet, so many are still guessing what the movie might be. Unlikely that it’s Pong, even though Johnson had a good laugh over the idea.
Holy shit this has me belly laughing 😂😂😂👏🏾👏🏾
Extra player points for bouncing the pong ball off one of my pecs.
(and automatic unlocking of secret code to play as Fanny Pack Rock if player pings the pong ball off of my big ass forehead) 🕹 #rocksnextvideogamemovie https://t.co/M3OWWJTzZr— Dwayne Johnson (@TheRock) January 25, 2022
This report comes not long after Microsoft’s acquisition of Call of Duty publisher Activision Blizzard following months of turmoil at the company. Xbox head Phil Spencer said PlayStation owners will still get some Activision Blizzard games, and at least three more Call of Duty titles are heading to PS5.
