Rumors surrounding casting for the upcoming Paramount/Activision Call of Duty movie are circulating, but nothing has been officially confirmed as of March 2026.

The project remains in early development, with no cast announcements from the studio, Paramount, or the creative team (director Peter Berg, co-writer Taylor Sheridan).
Mark Wahlberg Rumors
- There are persistent rumors linking Mark Wahlberg to a lead role, largely due to his long-standing collaboration with director Peter Berg.
- Berg has directed Wahlberg in multiple films, including Lone Survivor (2013), Deepwater Horizon (2016), Patriots Day (2016), Mile 22 (2018), and others.
- Insider reports from late 2025 (e.g., Daniel Richtman and sites like ComicBookMovie and GeekTyrant) suggest Berg is "eyeing some of his usual stars," with Wahlberg as the most likely frontrunner for a leading part—potentially a modern military operative given the film's reported contemporary setting.
- These rumors gained traction in November–December 2025 and continue to appear in fan discussions and social media, but they remain speculative. No official word from Wahlberg, Berg, or Paramount.

Pedro Pascal Rumors
- Separate rumors have emerged tying Pedro Pascal to the iconic role of Captain John Price (a staple character from the Modern Warfare series, known for his mustache, cigar, and commanding presence).
- Social media posts and fan accounts (on Instagram, Threads, Facebook, and X) from early 2026 claim Pascal is "in talks" or "being considered" for Price, citing his gritty performances in The Last of Us, The Mandalorian, and action-heavy roles.
- These appear to stem from fan excitement and viral speculation rather than credible insider sources—often phrased as "new chatter" or "reports" without attribution to major outlets.
- Some posts debate his fit for Price's authoritative, battle-hardened vibe, while others suggest alternatives (e.g., the original voice actor Barry Sloane or reboot model).
- No mainstream entertainment news sites (e.g., Variety, Deadline, Hollywood Reporter) have corroborated this as of the latest updates.
Overall Status
- Official sources like GameSpot (December 2025 update) explicitly state:
"There have been no casting announcements for the Call of Duty movie as of yet."
- Filming is rumored to start in 2026, so casting could ramp up soon, but these remain unconfirmed fan and insider buzz.
- Other speculative names (e.g., Henry Cavill for Price, or Berg regulars like Taylor Kitsch/John Malkovich) pop up in discussions, but Wahlberg and Pascal are the most prominent tied to specific rumors.
The project is still pre-production focused, so expect more concrete news if/when deals are made.
Fans are divided—some love the Wahlberg-Berg pairing for action authenticity, while others push for fresh or game-accurate faces.
- Various social media posts (Instagram, Threads, Facebook) referencing Pascal rumors (e.g., @letstalkmovies.co, @smallscreenco)
