Could Clash of Clans, or another major Supercell property, be making its way to the big screen? It's more likely than you might think. The Finnish mobile gaming giant, Supercell, has recently started the search for a senior film and TV development executive. This move suggests they might be following in the footsteps of fellow Finnish developer Rovio, who successfully brought their Angry Birds franchise to the movies back in 2016.
However, as noted by our sister site PocketGamer.biz, the job description for this new role isn't about immediately jumping into film production. Instead, it focuses on developing a strategy for both live-action and animated films, as well as exploring theatrical and streaming distribution options. In simpler terms, this role is more about planning and strategizing for the future rather than diving straight into production.
While it's too early to say definitively, it's reasonable to speculate that Supercell might already be sketching out preliminary plans for how they could bring their properties to the screen. Given their recent ventures into crossovers and collaborations, such as with WWE, it seems like a natural progression for the company.
It's worth noting that there was a significant gap between the initial release of Angry Birds and its movie adaptation, which came out seven years later. Similarly, despite the time that has passed since Clash of Clans was first released, it still boasts a robust audience. Additionally, Supercell has newer IPs like Mo.co, which could be tailored for a more family-friendly cinematic release.
We'll have to keep an eye on how this unfolds. In the meantime, if you're looking for something to keep you entertained, why not check out our list of the top five new mobile games to try this week?
