Since the title’s first release,Battlefield 1942, all the way back in 2002, EA’s ultimate FPS franchise has given us eleven games. The series, despite its ups and downs, has constantly given gamers a ton of entertainment with story and multiplayer modes that keep players hooked for hours.
Considering the franchise’s popularity, many have wondered if EA will ever dip its toes into Hollywood. While there’s undoubtedly some interest among the developers, they’re not fully onboard. However, once they take a look at ourBattlefieldmovie casting, they’ll definitely fast-track the project!
The Dream Battlefield Movie Cast Could Change Everything
Right before its Investor Day, EA revealed fresh new details on its upcomingBattlefieldgame alongside its first official concept art. Everything points to a back-to-basic approach for the next game, which has certainly hyped the community as theycan’t forget the tragedy ofBattlefield 2024.
EA Confirms New Battlefield in Development, And It Aims to Make You Spend In The Same Way As Call of Duty Black Ops 6
When the Head of Respawn & Group GM for EA Studios Organization, Vince Zampella, wasquestionedif the franchise will ever push into transmedia space, likeFalloutandThe Last of Us, he acknowledged the studio’s interest. However, he stated that the idea isn’t their priority.
There are definitely opportunities there. We’ve had some discussions, but it’s not our core business. To me, that stuff, when it works, it’s super cool… Like Arcane was f*cking great. But there’s other ones that haven’t worked as well and I won’t name those
If theBattlefieldmovie adaptation ever comes to fruition, it could bring a stellar cast to the screen. Jensen Ackles, as gritty and determined Daniel Recker, will prove to be a fearless squad leader. Jing Tian would give strength and depth to a character like Huang Shui, who is a tactical expert with unmatched skills.
Idris Elba has already established a reputation with hisCyberpunk 2077appearance, so it would be a no-brainer to feature him as Kimble Graves, a seasoned commander with a no-nonsense attitude. To top all of that, Robert Pattinson, as Clayton Pakowski, a young tech specialist, would inject energy into the movie.
The potential of these world-class actors could bring the action-motion and teamwork theBattlefieldfranchise is known for to the big screens and really give us the first adrenaline-fueled military thriller that isn’t a disappointment.
The NextBattlefieldWould Return to the Peak of the Franchise
While it’s going to be a long while before we see aBattlefieldmovie, a new game in the franchise is already on the horizon. Zampella has touched upon various aspects of the new game, and it certainly looks promising so far.
The next entry in the franchise will return to a modern setting that hasn’t been seen since 2014’sBattlefield 4. Following the launch of the game, EA took the franchise to a World War timeline and, most recently, the near future with2042. Now, the company is trying its best to return to the pinnacle of the franchise’s popularity, which was last witnessed more than a decade ago.
Battlefield 2042 Could Have Restored the Franchise to the Top of the FPS Pile But EA Let Us Down
A first look at the newBattlefieldgame was also finally let loose. Although the concept art doesn’t give us anything in particular, it brings the same blue and orange color palette that was known to be linked withBattlefield 3andBattlefield 4. The art clearly suggests that city destruction could once again be a major factor, given the fire spreading across the town.
Lastly, it’s also been confirmed that the next game will only support 64 players in total. While2042tried its best to support 128 players per match, it proved to be a disaster.
To see thatEA is now switching up the formulaand returning to the franchise’s roots isn’t a surprising move, but it should make fans of the franchise much more hyped about what’s coming next.
