The project is being pitched to studios and streamers including Apple and Sony, with a theatrical release being prioritized, sources said. The Battlefield video game series began in 2002, and the latest installment, Battlefield 6, was the best-selling game of 2024. Previous attempts to adapt the franchise for television failed: Fox tried in 2012 and Paramount in 2016.
Jordan is also involved in several other film projects. He is starring in the Miami Vice film "Miami Vice 85," directed by Joseph Kosinski and opposite Austin Butler, set for a 2027 release. He is directing and starring in a new version of "The Thomas Crown Affair" opposite Adria Arjona, releasing this year. He also voices the lead role in the Netflix animated film "Swapped," releasing next week.
The Battlefield adaptation joins a wave of video game movies. "A Minecraft Movie" earned $961 million worldwide in 2024, and "The Super Mario Galaxy Movie" has made $764 million in less than a month in 2025. Upcoming video game films include "Mortal Kombat II," "Streetfighter," "The Angry Birds Movie 3," and "Resident Evil" this year.
Several details about the Battlefield film remain unknown, including which studio or streamer will acquire it, whether Jordan will star, the release date, plot, and budget.
