We had previously reported that popular video game Helldivers is set to get a film adaptation. The makers have now announced that Jason Momoa will star in the action adventure movie. Directed by Justin Lin, known for his work on the Fast & Furious action movies, the upcoming feature has set a November 10, 2027 release date in theatres.
The Helldivers follow a specialised squad of elite soldiers tasked with protecting the galaxy from hostile alien forces — most commonly referred to as Bugs, Cyborgs, and the Illuminate. These enemies pose a constant threat to the fragile, propaganda-driven regime known as Super Earth. With elements like mutated spores and reanimated alien carcasses entering the mix, the franchise leans fully into its chaotic sci-fi horror roots, delivering an all-out extraterrestrial battlefield spectacle.
Details regarding other cast members from the film have not been revealed yet. Sony Pictures and Playstation are backing the film. This marks the latest big-screen collaboration between the two production houses following 2022’s video game adaptation Uncharted. Starring Tom Holland and Mark Wahlberg, the film became a box office winner, earning $407 million globally.
