It Sounds Like Netflix’s Gears of War Movie Is Finally Moving Forward — but We Still Don’t Know Who’s Playing Marcus Fenix

  • Netflix is advancing its long-anticipated film adaptation of the Gears of War video game franchise with David Leitch engaged to direct and produce alongside Kelly McCormick via 87North this year.
  • Netflix obtained the rights in late 2022 and partners with The Coalition, the Canadian studio behind the original game, while Jon Spaihts, known for Dune, is writing the script.
  • The movie centers on Delta Squad, a group commanded by the former-sergeant Marcus Fenix, as they confront the monstrous Locust on the planet Sera, a world on the edge of societal collapse, within the popular Xbox franchise.
  • The Gears of War game debuted in 2006, has six installments, and sold over 40 million copies, making it one of Xbox's biggest franchises and Netflix's major video game adaptation to date.
  • The film will precede an adult animated series, suggesting Netflix aims to expand Gears of War into a broader franchise following previous video game adaptations like Castlevania and Resident Evil.
