Since Marvel Studios popularized the Cinematic Universe idea, cinematic universes didn't start with the Marvel Cinematic Universe it started with Universal Monsters, many studios have decided to start Cinematic Universes. Fox is working on a X-Men Cinematic Universe. WB/DC is working on a DC Extended Universe. Universal is working on a new Monster Cinematic Universal. Paramount is working on a Transformers Cinematic Universe. Sony was going to do a Spider-Man Cinematic Universe but thanks to the The Unamazing Hipster-Douche 2: Rise of Blue Riddler I mean The Amazing Spider-Man 2: Rise of Electro failing epically, a Spidey Cinematic Universe won't happen.

Now we will have a Call of Duty Cinematic Universe. In an Investor Day presentation (like how the MCU was officially announced and how the films in the DCEU were announced & DCEU criticized for being announced that way for some illogical reason) leading up to BlizzCon yesterday, Activision Blizzard announced Activision Blizzard Studios. This new division of the company will focus on creating original films and TV shows. The company's first film project announced is “a robust cinematic universe” based on Activision's Call of Duty franchise. This project plans to include “a series of Call of Duty feature films as well as the possibility of television adaptations.” No timing or additional information was revealed at this time. The first Call of Duty film will be released in either 2018 or 2019. So what are your thoughts on this? Instead of having yearly rehashed Call of Duty games, we will now have yearly rehashed Call of Duty games and movies likely. Are you excited for that? Would you like to see Destiny get a film (boy I'd hate to be the writer for that)? Would you prefer to see a Crash Bandicoot movie? Or at least a new Crash Bandicoot game? Comment below, let me know. Peace and if you'd like to know my thoughts on this Call of Duty Cinematic Universe and the people who thought of it...

Talk about shared universe mega-franchise overkill. It makes sense for comic book movies. For everything else? WHYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Haha, hilarious

Their really trying to cash in on the Video Game market

Assassin's Creed
World of Warcraft
And now, Call of Duty

I'll admit that I know next to nothing about any of the characters or stories in those games, so I have no idea what type of potential there is....

Before you know it, 50 Cent is going to announce he's going to direct that Saints Row movie.
DrKinsolving
DrKinsolving - 11/7/2015, 1:54 PM
Since they want to capitalize on that market

Shouldn't a Metal Gear Solid movie be coming out soon too? Ha

I remember when people wanted Bale to star in that, after they saw him in Terminator Salvation

@DrKinsolving

It's ok, nobody else knows the stories or characters of Call of Duty since everyone just plays the multiplayer and zombies and not the main story.

Only character people knows is Kevin Spacey.

@DrKinsolving

Also a MGS film is happening. Produced by Avi Arad, written by David S Goyer.

I wish to God I was joking but I'm not.

@LEVITIKUZ

Hahaha, is that for real? Good old Avi.... I can just picture him posing with a Metal Gear Solid "Snake" toy now, ha

And, maybe that's a good thing, it could keep Goyer busy for awhile until he's no longer relevant

Lol Avi Arad and David Goyer... LOL. That's gonna be a disaster.

I honestly don't see COD doing well as a movie. I see other Activision movies doing well though, like Starcraft.

How is this going to work? Dammit Activision, stop funding this and support the Warcraft movie!

@GliderMan

That's not actually true. Technically, I think the developers have said that each franchise exists on its own separately, only being connected in name only but not necessarily in 'setting'. And even though games like MW and Black Ops COULD co-exist in the same universe, you've still got outliers like Ghosts and Advanced Warfare which seem to have completely different timelines.

I only say this because, for what it's worth, CoD actually has a decent storyline for most of their games unlike the Battlefield series, which DOES lump every game in the same universe but all of their games' stories suck apart from the Bad Company series.

The only video game movie i wanna see is mortal kombat, just done right
Kurban
Kurban - 11/7/2015, 2:16 PM
Either way, a CoD cinematic universe is a terrible idea. Assassin's Creed has way more room to make an actual 'cinematic universe' with and even THEY'RE just going the traditional film franchise route.

Don't blame MCU...they may have started it, but they did/do it properly and out of respect to the source material. Yada, yada, yada...

It's going to be fun to watch all these cinematic universes attempting to bank on Marvel's success tank hard and fail.

I'm cool with it! Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and Modern Warfare 2 are both film worthy. Black Ops 1-2 are pretty solid as well.

Haven't played video games in years so I don't know much about this franchise.

Though I will admit, I kinda got addicted when I played for the first time a week ago.

Kinda.
