One of the most shared suggestions by fans is that the Zombies mode, introduced in Call of Duty: World at War in 2008, should be the central focus of the film adaptation. This mode has gained immense popularity, allowing players to face hordes of the undead and overcome various challenges over the years. Through social media, many users have expressed their enthusiasm for a movie centered on ‘Zombies’, mentioning iconic characters like Richtofen and suggesting a possible trilogy dedicated exclusively to this universe.

However, the idea of a Call of Duty movie is not well received by everyone. Phil Spencer, CEO of Microsoft Gaming, has commented that not all video game franchises need to be taken to the cinema. “The video game business is successful on its own. It doesn’t need this medium”, Spencer stated, before emphasizing the importance of finding creative approaches in adaptations to linear media.

With the news of these conversations and the growing demand from fans, the possibility of a Call of Duty movie materializing with a focus on the popular Zombies mode seems increasingly plausible. Meanwhile, the gaming community will continue to debate and speculate about what could be an exciting addition to the arsenal of film adaptations based on video games.
