This is unsurprising news if youve been paying any attention to the industry.
Thats just the confirmed stuff.
Helldivers is a prime candidate for adaptation, if you look at it from a business perspective.
Its undeniably one of PlayStations biggest successes of 2024, so of course Sony is capitalising on it.
So… Starship Troopers 2?
The logic starts to fail when you think about Helldivers roots.
Starship Troopers is a satirical film about fascism and imperialism, and Helldivers takes a lot from it.
Both are set in the future, where Earth is governed by a military regime.
Both have humans colonising the galaxy, fighting bug-like aliens.
Both are campy and use humour to criticise the military-industrial complex.
Paul Verhoevens film was a critical and commercial flop when it was released.
And yet, things are different now.
Destiny 2 is changing in 2025, but will the fans stick around for it?
Is There A Point To A Helldivers Movie?
I loveHelldivers 2 anybody who knows me could tell you this.
But because of this, at its core, its pretty much an adaptation of Starship Troopers.
The movie version already exists its the source material.
They might as well just re-release the film and throw in some clips of the Automatons.
But if were talking creative value?
Im hard pressed to find anything here.
