Jason Momoa to star in live-action Helldivers film

Roughly one year ago, in the wake of the overwhelming success of PlayStation’s Helldivers 2, the company announced that they would be adapting the co-op shooter into a live-action film. While details remained light at the time, we’ve now gotten a major update, confirming the film’s director, main star and premiere date.

As reported by the publication Deadline, PlayStation Productions’ Helldivers adaptation has gotten a major update, with the film set to come to cinemas on the 10th of November 2027.

The publication also revealed that Justin Lin will serve as the film’s director. For the uninitiated, Lin has worked on a number of major and successful projects, including but not limited to many of the most popular Fast and Furious entries (Tokyo Drift; Fast Five and Fast & Furious 6).

Alongside the director, it was also confirmed that Jason Momoa will star in the film, though the actor’s role has not yet been revealed. Momoa is of course known for many things, including Aquaman; Dune; Fast X and A Minecraft Movie.

Given the fact that Helldivers is known for treating all of its ‘characters’ like fodder, it will be interesting to see how Momoa ties into the film’s narrative and whether it will stay true to the IP’s identity.
