Barry Sloan Wants to Reprise Captain Price in Call of Duty Film
The actor who played Captain Price in the Call of Duty games says he is the most suitable candidate for the role in the upcoming live-action film directed by Peter Berg.
Actor Barry Sloan, who played Captain Price in the Call of Duty game series, said he is the most suitable person to take on this role in the film. In an interview with Dan Allen Gaming, he said he would very much like to get this character, and noted that fan support is important and appreciated for him.
At the same time, Sloan acknowledged that casting decisions are not his to make, but the studio's. According to him, he has no influence over this process, and all he can do is express his desire to play the character and thank those who support his candidacy. He did not name any possible candidates or a timeline by which the studio might announce the cast.
The Call of Duty film will be directed by Peter Berg, with a screenplay by Taylor Sheridan. The film is expected to take place in the Modern Warfare universe. It is not yet known whether it will be an original story or an adaptation of one of the games. The release is scheduled for 2028, and news about the cast is expected next year as filming approaches.
Among fans, there is a widespread view that the actors who worked on the game versions of the characters should carry over to the film. However, observers suggest that studios may prefer better-known names from cinema, counting on box office returns. Using the game cast remains unconfirmed, and there are no official statements on this.
The storyline context also matters. In Modern Warfare 4, Captain Price dies at the end of the game, so if the film is meant to be canonical, it would have to be set before that installment. A sequel-style continuation, where Ghost or new heroes could become the central characters, is also being considered. Which of these paths the creators will choose is not yet known.
Thus, the question of whether Sloan will return to the role of Price remains open. His words reflect the actor's desire and the support of the audience, but the final decision, in his own words, will be made by the studio, and it depends on its plans for the film and the cast of performers.
