Now Playing: Gears of War: E-Day World Premiere | Xbox Games Showcase 2024

McCormick and Leitch are married and run the production company 87North together. She added that Leitch is excited to make the Gears of War movie because it's a genre he hasn't done before: war. It's also "a bit of sci-fi" that Leitch will get to make "in his own way," McCormick said.

Leitch, a former stuntman who worked as Brad Pitt's double in movies like Fight Club and Ocean's Eleven, directed 2014's John Wick with Chad Stahelski but was not credited due to Hollywood rules. He later directed Atomic Blonde, Deadpool 2, Hobbs & Shaw, Bullet Train, and The Fall Guy.

As for Stahelski, he's making movies based on the video games Ghost of Tsushima and Rainbow Six.

The Gears of War movie's latest script is being written by Jon Spaihts, who previously wrote Prometheus, Doctor Strange, and Passengers, along with Dune 1 and 2.

There isn't much known about the Gears of War movie, but the game's official social media account reacted to The Hollywood Reporter interview, writing, "Oh hell yeah! This my kind of shit!"

Gears of War seemingly won't be Leitch's next film, so no one should expect it to come out soon. The director is preparing to shoot Amazon MGM Studio's 2026 heist thriller How to Rob a Bank, which has Nicholas Hoult and Anna Sawai attached to star in it.

Wrestler-turned-actor Dave Bautista has lobbied for years to play Marcus, and he does bear a strong resemblance to the character, but no casting announcements for the Gears of War movie have been made. Meanwhile, Gears of War designer Cliff Bleszinski has previously been adamant that Chris Pratt shouldn't play any role in the film.

For nearly two decades, Gears of War has been an Xbox exclusive. However, that is changing soon with the launch of Gears of War: Reloaded on August 26 for PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.
