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

Could iconic Supercell games like Clash of Clans be making their way 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, suggesting they could be following in the footsteps of fellow Finnish developer Rovio, who successfully brought Angry Birds to the movies back in 2016.

According to our colleagues at PocketGamer.biz, the job description for this role isn't about jumping straight into production. Instead, it involves crafting a comprehensive strategy for both live-action and animated films, as well as handling theatrical and streaming distribution. In simpler terms, this position seems to be geared more towards planning and strategizing rather than immediate action. However, it's safe to assume that Supercell might already be sketching out preliminary ideas for how they would approach a film or animation project if they decide to move forward.

Supercell has been pushing boundaries with their game catalog, venturing into crossovers and collaborations, such as their partnership with WWE. This move into different entertainment mediums feels like a natural progression for the developer. Although Clash of Clans was released some time ago, the success of the Angry Birds movie, which debuted seven years after the game's initial launch, shows that there's still a strong audience for established mobile IPs. Additionally, Supercell has newer titles like Mo.co that could be tailored for a younger audience in a film adaptation.
