Netflix’s GEARS OF WAR Live-Action Movie Shows First Signs of Life in TWO Years

To mark its 16th anniversary in 2022, Netflix unveiled exciting news for “Gears of War” enthusiasts – a live-action movie based on the popular action game was in the works. Moreover, Netflix suggested that this could be just the beginning, hinting at the possibility of an entire cinematic universe for the games. They also announced an adult animated series with potential sequels. However, details about the Netflix “Gears of War” movie remain scarce. In 2023, Netflix disclosed that Jon Spaihts, writer of the “Dune” movies and “Doctor Strange”, would be responsible for adapting the game into a film. Subsequently, there was no news for two years. But now it seems high-profile director David Leitch has joined the project to direct the Netflix movie.

As a devoted fan, I’m thrilled to share that rumors are swirling about David Leitch potentially taking the helm for the long-awaited Netflix adaptation of Gears of War! Although the deal isn’t finalized just yet, it’s the first news we’ve had in years about this much-anticipated movie. Here’s hoping this is a sign that the project is finally moving forward!

The report also indicates that Dune writer Jon Spaihts remains attached to Gears of War.
