The main star of the Helldivers adaptation will be Jason Momoa — the film will premiere in November 2027

PlayStation Productions and Sony Pictures have set the premiere date for the film based on the popular cooperative shooter Helldivers 2 and named the lead role performer.

What is known

The star of the Helldivers adaptation will be the popular actor Jason Momoa — the public knows him as Aquaman in DC Universe films, and he also starred in A Minecraft Movie and several parts of the “Fast & Furious” series.

The film will premiere on November 10, 2027, in theaters worldwide.

The director is Justin Lin, a director of many parts of Fast & Furious, who previously stated he is not a gamer, so he does not plan to adhere too much to the original Helldivers atmosphere and wants to make a film with deeper human relationships, but whether this will benefit the adaptation of such a satirical game is a big question.

The screenplay is written by Gary Dauberman, author of popular horror films “It” and “It Chapter Two”, “Annabelle”, “The Nun” and the game adaptation of Until Dawn, which was released in 2025.

Recall, the game about the crazy Hell Divers, who protect Super Earth from the enemies of “controlled democracy”, was released in 2015, and its hit sequel in 2024, whose sales, according to analysts, exceeded 20 million copies.
