According to a new report by The Guardian, Activision wants to turn Call of Duty into a film universe that would rival that of the Marvel Universe.

Two people are tasked with trying to pull this off. They are Stacey Sher and Nick van Dyk, the co-presidents of Activision Blizzard Studios, a new "in-house production division that hopes to succeed where almost everyone else has failed by turning games into commercially and critically successful film and TV." Work on the project has already generated a number of scripts thanks to assistance from "military experts and retired soldiers."
“We have plotted out many years,” Sher tells the Guardian. “We put together this group of writers to talk about where we were going. There’ll be a film that feels more like Black Ops, the story behind the story. The Modern Warfare series looks at what it’s like to fight a war with the eyes of the world on you. And then maybe something that is more of a hybrid, where you are looking at private, covert operations, while a public operation is going on.”

Van Dyk adds: “It’s going to have the same sort of high-adrenaline, high-energy aesthetic as the game, but it’s not a literal adaptation. It’s a much more broad and inclusive, global in scope ... a big, tentpole Marvel-esque movie.”

The duo hopes to see the first release come in 2018, but that's a best case scenario. If that weren't enough, the two are also looking into a TV series that would focus on historical conflicts. These "historical" shows would be more akin to Marvel offerings such as Jessica Jones or Luke Cage and less about presenting an actual portrayal of history like what the History channel used to show.
