Clash of Clans could be coming to the big screen, as Supercell is hiring for film and TV

Could Clash of Clans, or another major Supercell property, be coming to the big screen? It's a possibility that's gaining traction, especially since the Finnish mobile developer has recently put out a call to hire a senior film and TV development executive. This move echoes Rovio's successful transition of Angry Birds to movies back in 2016, suggesting Supercell might be following a similar path.

However, as noted by our sibling site PocketGamer.biz, the job description doesn't indicate an immediate push into film production. Instead, it focuses on building a strategy for live-action and animated films, as well as theatrical and streaming distribution. This suggests a more strategic, long-term approach rather than an immediate dive into movie-making.

In business terms, this role is more about watching and waiting, though it's likely Supercell is already sketching out preliminary plans for how they might bring their IPs to the screen. With Supercell breaking new ground in their catalogue through crossovers and collaborations, such as with WWE, a move into film and animation seems like a natural progression.

Despite the time that has passed since Clash of Clans' initial release, it's worth noting that the highly successful Angry Birds movie came out seven years after the game's debut. This indicates that even with the passage of time, Clash of Clans still holds a robust audience. Additionally, Supercell has newer IPs like Mo.co, which could be leveraged for more kid-focused releases.

We'll need 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?
