Taylor Sheridan is producing a Call of Duty movie & everyone’s saying the same thing

Fans are finally getting a Call of Duty movie, and Yellowstone creator Taylor Sheridan is producing it. But everyone had the same reaction to the news.

It’s surprising that it’s taken this long to get a Call of Duty movie off the ground, given that the franchise has roughly sold over 500 million copies since players first jumped into the fight back in 2003. Of course, Activision’s grind never stops, and Black Ops 7 is the studio’s next big release on November 14, 2025.

But those cut scenes that most players skip in between missions are heading to the big screen, because Sheridan is partnering with director Peter Berg to write and produce the Call of Duty movie. It’s the latest project at Paramount from the Yellowstone, Landman, and Spec Ops: Lioness creator, despite his planned exit in 2029 for NBCUniversal.

But never mind the studio politics – the Call of Duty movie news had everyone saying the same thing.

Call of Duty fans make the same joke about Taylor Sheridan movie

Obviously, the biggest question players have is whether the Call of Duty movie will just be a narrative about a conflict like in the games, or whether Paramount will try to do something like Jumanji, Free Guy, or Minecraft — where characters get sucked into the world of a game.

Fans were quick to joke online that Sheridan is going to have a difficult job trying to fit all the obscenities of a typical Call of Duty lobby, operator skins, and killstreaks into the script.

One person tweeted: “Man, who are they going to have play the Unicorn that farts rainbows? Can’t wait to watch Nicki and Snoop on the big screen.”

Another added: “If this doesn’t start with a 12-year-old screaming slurs in the lobby, it’s not accurate.”

“Can’t wait for the 45-minute cutscene where they argue about who gets the last kill,” someone else joked, with another commenter saying: “Somehow I just know the audience is gonna argue over killstreaks during the credits.”

Considering most people buy Call of Duty for its extensive multiplayer (or the free-to-play Warzone), then Sheridan and Berg have a difficult job deciding what the film’s focus will be. Could it adapt the original Modern Warfare storyline? Black Ops? Black Ops 2? Black Ops 3? Black O… You get the idea.
