Could Call of Duty: Warzone make its way to the big screen? Extraction 2 director Sam Hargrave seems to think so. Despite not being an avid player of the popular video game, Hargrave acknowledges its cinematic qualities and sees potential in the idea of a feature film adaptation. Although open to the prospect, Hargrave emphasizes that the key to its success would lie in establishing an emotional hook that could engage audiences for a 90-minute feature.
Extraction 2, the much-anticipated sequel to Netflix’s most-viewed original movie, sees the return of Chris Hemsworth as the gritty mercenary, Tyler Rake. The plot of the new film pushes Rake into yet another life-threatening mission – a daring rescue of a mother and her children from the clutches of a dangerous Georgian prison.

The high-octane sequences and intense, character-driven action scenes of Extraction 2 have drawn comparisons to Call of Duty: Warzone. This, along with parallels to the likes of the John Wick series and Just Cause, has led to speculation about a possible Warzone film adaptation.
One scene in Extraction 2, in particular, stands out for its resemblance to Warzone gameplay. The sequence is a flurry of adrenaline-fueled chaos, featuring soldiers sniping from helicopters, intense rooftop firefights, and dramatic large-scale set pieces. This kind of high-stakes action mirrors the thrilling pace and tension found in Warzone, further fueling the idea of a cinematic adaptation.
However, Hargrave stresses that his approach to designing the action sequences in Extraction 2 was not directly inspired by Warzone. His primary focus was on crafting intricate, character-focused action within a larger narrative framework. The aim was to provide audiences with a coherent story, even amidst the complexity of the urban landscape and explosive action sequences.
Despite this, Hargrave’s openness to a Warzone movie adaptation could be a sign of exciting things to come. With the right blend of engaging storytelling, compelling characters, and the high-stakes action inherent in the game, a Call of Duty: Warzone movie could prove to be a thrilling venture. Only time will tell if this possibility becomes a reality.
