This Call of Duty movie petition wanted actors from the game to appear in the movie
Captain Price in Call of Duty franchise
A petition was made in March 2023 asking Activision Blizzard to hire the actors from the game for the rumored live-action Call of Duty movie. The petition specifically mentioned that fans want Barry Sloane, Neil Ellice, Samuel Roukin, Elliot Knight, Claudia Doumit, Warren Kole, Rya Kihlstedt, and Alain Mesa to play their roles in the movie.
Unfortunately, this petition has only 1,133 signatures as of March 2024, so it is safe to say that it never reached Activision Blizzard. Indeed, it would be nice to see these actors play their roles but bringing in some popular Hollywood stars would certainly help the studios in filling up the theatres.
Henry Cavill and Jensen Ackles might join the project
Jensen Ackles as Soldier Boy in The Boys
In 2015, The Hollywood Reporter revealed that Activision Blizzard is planning to release a live-action movie based on the Call of Duty video game franchise in association with Activision Blizzard Studios.
Eventually, Stefano Sollima was hired to direct the film and Sollima revealed that he would like to have actors Tom Hardy and Chris Pine as the leads for the film. Unfortunately, in a 2020 interview with BadTaste, Sollima said Activision Blizzard decided to put the movie on a back burner because it was not their priority.
Activision Blizzard has remained silent over the past four years but fans are sure that an announcement is coming their way very soon. Many fans have suggested that Henry Cavill and Jensen Ackles are perfect for the roles of Captain Price and Soap respectively, however, these are just rumors as nothing has been officially confirmed.
As for the petition, fans need to let go of that idea as Call of Duty is known for prioritizing profits over its content, so they will definitely hire some heavy-hitters for their movie.
