Any game that reportedly sells nearly 20 million units over its lifetime is bound to catch the attention of the entertainment industry at large. Arrowhead’s Helldivers 2 is the latest game to hop on the bandwagon, with a live-action adaptation coming to the silver screen.
The Helldivers movie is set to premiere on November 10, 2027, and will have Jason Momoa starring in a currently undisclosed role per Deadline. While what that role might entail is anyone’s guess, it’s safe to assume that he’s going to be a part of Super Earth’s army and probably tearing through Automatons, Cyborgs, and Terminids alike.
The announcement could not have come at a better time for Helldivers 2 fans, as it is hot on the heels of the new Cyberstan update which brings new meaty gameplay to the co-op shooter. You can likely expect references to the game’s expansive lore to feature in the film’s runtime in some capacity, and perhaps even some interesting twists on previously established lore.
While the film is still a long time away, we’re optimistic that Hutch Parker (Logan, X-Men: Days of Future Past), PlayStation Productions’ Asad Qizilbash, and Perfect Storm’s Justin Lin (of Fast and Furious fame) being producers is a sign of good things to come.
