Having appeared in one of the biggest box office hits of 2025 thanks to 'A Minecraft Movie' –– which was adapted from a video game title –– Jason Momoa is hoping to repeat the trick with a new movie based on video gaming, this time PlayStation favorite ‘Helldivers.’

Justin Lin, who knows a thing or two about action after working on several ‘Fast & Furious’ movies, is in the director’s chair.

While the movie’s storyline has yet to be confirmed, the basic story of the game (released in 2015 by Arrowhead Game Studios), sees an elite unit of soldiers — known as Helldivers — who battle alien creatures that are threatening to destroy the fictional planet of Super Earth.

A follow-up game landed in 2024.

When will the ‘Helldivers’ movie be on screens?

While backers Sony are clearly upbeat about this one, there is no release date on the books yet.
