## Summary

Director Peter Berg says his planned Call of Duty film will explore the human cost and burden of war, rather than focus only on action and gunfights. He describes the Modern Warfare characters as nuanced people, and says the film will have an emotional core shaped by his understanding of the games and collaboration with co-writer and producer Taylor Sheridan.

Berg cites Captain Price, Soap, Ghost and Alex as complicated characters whose stories can convey the cost of being a warrior. He says the film will include violence and military equipment, but its underlying focus will be the consequences of war. The film is scheduled for release on 30 June 2028.
