Supercell Hires for Film and TV: Clash of Clans Movie in the Works?

Could Supercell be gearing up to bring their top properties like Clash of Clans to the big screen? It's more likely than you might think. The Finnish mobile game developer has recently put out a call to hire a senior film and TV development executive, signaling a potential move into the world of cinema, much like what Rovio did with Angry Birds back in 2016.

However, according to insights from our sister site PocketGamer.biz, the job description isn't just about jumping straight into film production. Instead, it focuses on building a comprehensive strategy for live-action and animated films, covering both theatrical releases and streaming distribution. In business terms, this suggests a more strategic, watch-and-wait approach. Although, it wouldn't be surprising if Supercell is already sketching out initial plans for how they might bring their games to life on screen.

Supercell has been pushing boundaries with their game catalog, venturing into exciting crossovers and collaborations, such as with the WWE. Given this trend, transitioning to film and animation feels like a natural next step for the developer.

While it's been years since Clash of Clans was first released, it's worth noting that the highly successful Angry Birds movie came out seven years after the game's debut. Despite the time gap, Clash of Clans still boasts a strong audience, and Supercell has newer IPs like Mo.co that could be appealing for a more family-friendly cinematic release.

We'll have to stay tuned to see 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?
