Barry Sloane has played Captain Price in the games for years. Now he’s hoping to land the role in the movie, but Hollywood hasn’t made a decision yet.
A live-action Call of Duty movie is currently in development. Even though the cast hasn’t been finalized yet, Barry Sloane—who plays Captain John Price in the new Modern Warfare games—would love to portray the iconic leader of Task Force 141 in this project as well.
Barry Sloane sees himself as the ideal choice for the role
In an interview with the YouTube channel Dan Allen Gaming, Sloane was asked if he would like to play Captain Price in the upcoming movie as well. He explained: “I don’t think there’s anyone on this planet who’s better qualified for this role than I am. “
”Who has embodied this character for nearly a decade? Who understands the scope of these projects, the enthusiasm of the fan base, and has accompanied them on this journey from the very beginning?”
Sloane noted that many fans also want him to play Captain Price in the movie. He expressed his gratitude for their support. However, he said he doesn’t know if he’ll be able to take on the role, as the final decision rests with the film producers.
“Hollywood is a tough place. Sometimes decisions are made for reasons you’ll never understand. But if you ask me if I’d like to take on the role? Absolutely! I’d love to play him in a movie. 100 percent. That would be fantastic. But let’s just wait and see how things play out in Hollywood.”
So far, there’s been no official confirmation that the actors from the games will also be cast in the film adaptation.
Not much is known about the Call of Duty film adaptation at this time, though a release window has already been set for 2028. Peter Berg is set to direct, while Taylor Sheridan is writing the screenplay. The film is also set to take place in the Modern Warfare universe. So it remains to be seen which familiar faces will make it into the adaptation. The first details about the cast will surely emerge sometime in 2027.
