It looks like Jason Momoa is in every single place lately, with final yr’s “A Minecraft Film” and Apple TV’s “Chief of Warfare” that includes the humongous Hawaiian actor. Then comes this yr’s “Supergirl” flick, enjoying Lobo, and “Dune: Half 3” portraying a cloned Duncan Idaho.
Now add “Helldivers” to his inventive plate, an upcoming challenge primarily based on the bestselling sci-fi shooter online game, as information simply erupted that Momoa might be starring in a live-action adaptation.
“Helldivers” was initially launched in 2015 by Arrowhead Recreation Studios. This isometric shoot ’em up put gamers within the position of shock troop commandos defending a futuristic (and probably fascist) Tremendous Earth from a wide range of disruptive antagonists like The Bugs, the augmented separatists referred to as the Cyborgs, and a hostile breed of alien squid often known as the Illuminate. These elite forces hold the world’s “measured democracy” protected and sane.
It was an inexpensive success for the group, however it wasn’t till the sequel, “Helldivers 2,” was lastly unchained 9 years later that Helldivers grew to become a gaming juggernaut. The digital camera switched to third-person, the mayhem was dialed as much as eleven, and the remainder is historical past. Helldivers 2 has bought over 20 million copies throughout PS5, Xbox, and PC, profitable a torrent of awards alongside the way in which. This success led Sony to greenlight the film challenge in January 2025.
This “Helldivers” film challenge will apparently be an adaptation of “Helldivers 2,” and its producers embody Hutch Parker, PlayStation Productions’ Asad Qizilbash, and Justin Lin by way of his firm Good Storm Leisure. There are apparent comparisons to the 1997 sci-fi traditional “Starship Troopers,” however that is a flattering praise, and we won’t wait to know extra!
“Helldivers” is slated to cost into film theaters on Nov. 10, 2027.
