Call of Duty is not just a game franchise anymore but a legacy of an IP that has reached out to millions of fans worldwide. Hence, a lot of them are immensely passionate about this FPS series. Well this passion is not just limited to new entries released by Activision but goes beyond them as well.

In case anyone missed keeping track of events, there have been rumors of a live action movie being in the works based on CoD games. The publisher, however, hasn’t actually confirmed a project being in development at the moment. But fans are certain that it will be revealed at some point in the future. Additionally, they want the film to have the actors from the actual games play their own live-action versions. In fact, there’s even a petition demanding the same!

For those who are not aware, the publisher had founded Activision Blizzard Studios in 2015 to build an entire cinematic universe based on the hit video game franchise. However, there’s been no update on any project under this venture since the last few years.

But the hardcore Call of Duty fans are quite confident that a big-screen adaptation will make its way into the theaters one day. That’s why they want it to be faithful to the games themselves. So much so, that they want it to have the actors from the gaming titles themselves. In short, some of the fans are not in favor of bringing A-list Hollywood celebrities to take on the roles like Captain Price, Ghost, Gaz, Alex, Soap or even recently introduced faces like Phillip Graves, Alejandro and Valeria.

Interestingly, there’s actually a petition online that demands the Call of Duty movie to have actors from Activision’s gaming series only. “We believe that the actors from the game (MW and MWII reboot) are the best choices and should be used for the movie, if said movie will really be made,” read the description wrote by the person who filed the petition back in March 2023.

Modern Warfare and MWII features an array of amazing actors like Barry Sloane, Neil Ellice, Samuel Roukin, Elliot Knight, Claudia Doumit, Warren Kole, Rya Kihlstedt, Chad Michael Collins, Alain Mesa, and Maria Elisa Camargo. The petitioner mentions that “it’s not right to have the perfect actors for the game overlooked for people with bigger names.”
