Supercell Seeks Film and TV Talent for Clash of Clans Movie

Could Supercell's major properties like Clash of Clans be making their way to the big screen? It's more likely than you might think. The Finnish mobile gaming giant has recently put out a call to hire a senior film and TV development executive, hinting at potential plans to follow in the footsteps of their compatriot Rovio, which successfully brought Angry Birds to the movies back in 2016.

However, as noted by our sister site PocketGamer.biz, the job description isn't signaling an immediate jump into film production. Instead, it focuses on building a strategy for both live-action and animated films, along with theatrical and streaming distribution. In business terms, this suggests a more strategic, long-term approach rather than an immediate dive into movie-making. Still, it's reasonable to speculate that Supercell might already be sketching out preliminary plans for a cinematic venture.

Clash for the Ages

Supercell has been pushing boundaries with its catalog, venturing into crossovers and collaborations, such as with WWE. This trend suggests that moving into film and animation could be a natural progression for the developer. Despite the time elapsed since Clash of Clans' debut, it remains a powerhouse with a dedicated audience. Moreover, Supercell's newer IPs like Mo.co could potentially be tailored for a more family-oriented cinematic release.

Only time will tell 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?
