Players Are Looking Forward To The Movie Adapted From Helldivers 2

Sony announced at CES 2025 press conference that Sony Productions and Sony Pictures will jointly produce Helldivers 2 movie, but the specific details are not too much.

Asad Qizilbash, head of PlayStation Productions, said in his speech at the press conference: “Looking ahead to what will happen in the next period, I am very happy to announce that we are working with Sony Pictures to shoot a movie adapted from the very popular PlayStation game Helldivers 2.”

The Content And Brilliant Achievements Of Helldivers 2

Helldivers 2 is a third-person shooter game made by developer Arrowhead. This game is deeply inspired by the classic sci-fi movie Starship Troopers. Fans have also put forward their point of view that adapting Helldivers 2 is almost like remaking Paul Verhoeven’s movie. The game-tells the story of future soldiers fighting to defend a regime called fascist Super Earth.

In the game, players join the titular Helldivers and fight alien robots called “Automatons” and bugs called “Terminids”, constantly acquiring Helldivers 2 Items to upgrade their abilities to complete the task of turning the tide of the interstellar war.

Helldivers 2 sold 12 million copies of the game in just 12 weeks, becoming the fastest-selling PlayStation Studios game to date. After the release of the long-awaited Illuminate update, a third faction was added. Helldivers 2 is currently in a resurgence. However, this update is not for all players. In an interview with GamesRadar+ after the Omens of Tyranny update, producer Alex Bolle said that these new contents are more suitable for hardcore players.

Helldivers 2 won many awards last year, including 2024 Golden Joystick Awards’ Critics’ Choice Award. Reporters from a trusted network of freelance writers decide this award at GamesRadar+, PCGamer, Edge, Retro Gamer, The Future Games Show, and Future.

Fans Want Casts Chris Pratt To Play Bile Titan In The Game

Since Sony announced that it would be adapting to the movie Helldivers 2, there has been a lot of discussion among players about the character selection in the movie. One of the most discussed topics is whether Casts Chris Pratt can play Bile Titan.

Players who have played Helldivers 2 know that Helldivers in the game are all classic soldiers with their faces covered. These characters are often easily replaced, but this has not stopped players from discussing who will play Bile Titan.

Redditor 2Tired2pl once joked about wanting to see Casts Chris Pratt play Bile Titan. Casts Chris Pratt may be an unfamiliar name to some players, but if you mention Mario in the movie The Super Mario Bros, everyone may not feel unfamiliar. Yes, this character is played by Casts Chris Pratt, which became a very popular meme.

Since then, people like to tease him with a picture that Nintendo used to reveal the cast and let him play the most ridiculous role. Although he plays Mario very well, players are still looking forward to him playing one of the biggest enemies in Helldivers 2 movie, the Bile Titan. Because players are very eager to see how he performs the bile vomiting clip.

These ideas of players are just to tell the producers that it is best not to have any popular stars in the casting. Players would rather choose actors who can fully interpret the characteristics of each character in the game, so that only the nameless Helldivers in the movie will fight with Terminids, Automatons and Illuminate. This will be similar to the animation of Warhammer 40,000.

One player said: “He really doesn’t want to see any actor’s face in the movie. Just like in Mandalorian, people will be killed every few minutes. The only thing that matters is to complete the mission.”

Another player said: “He hopes to see Ella Purnell play Eagle-1, if she is not tired of game adaptations after Fallout and Arcane. But one thing is certain, if Craig Lee Thomas can appear in the current movie, he will be very happy.”

Not wanting to see actual faces does not mean that players cannot accept the appearance of actors’ faces. If it is like some classic plots in some movies, such as Brad Pitt in Deadpool, and the helmet is immediately destroyed after taking it off, the players will not mind.

Helldivers 2 is not the only game that will be adapted into a movie. Sony announced that it will also adapt Guerrilla Studios’ Horizon Zero Dawn and Sucker Punch Studios’ Ghost of Tsushima.
