Barry Sloane, who played Captain John Price in all four games of the rebooted Call of Duty: Modern Warfare series, including Modern Warfare 4 released in October, wouldn't mind bringing his character to the big screen as well. In an interview with Dan Allen Gaming, the actor said he would like to return to the role in the Paramount film adaptation, and explained why he considers himself the best candidate:
“I don't think there's anyone on this planet who is better suited for this role than me. Who has played this character for nearly ten years? Who understands the scale of these projects, knows how much the fans love them, and has been on this entire journey with them from the very beginning? Hollywood is a beast. Sometimes they make decisions for reasons you'll never understand. But if you ask if I want to, then absolutely. I would love to play him in a movie. That would be great. We'll see how the cards fall in Hollywood.”
The adaptation is being developed by Peter Berg (“Lone Survivor”), who is writing the script alongside Taylor Sheridan (“Sicario”). The film will be set in the Modern Warfare universe. Plot details are being kept under wraps for now, so the appearance of Price and other iconic characters has not been officially confirmed.
The film is scheduled to premiere on June 30, 2028.
