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

Could Clash of Clans, or another major Supercell property, be making its way to the big screen? It's a possibility that's gaining traction, especially since Supercell, the renowned Finnish mobile developer, is currently seeking a senior film and TV development executive. This move echoes the path taken by fellow Finnish developer Rovio, which successfully brought Angry Birds to the movies back in 2016.

While the job description doesn't suggest an immediate jump into film production, it does indicate a strategic approach towards developing live-action and animated films for both theatrical and streaming platforms. In business terms, this role is more about planning and strategizing, hinting at a cautious, yet deliberate, move into the film industry. It's likely that Supercell is already sketching out potential plans should they decide to fully commit to film and/or animation projects.

Clash for the AgesSupercell has been pushing boundaries with its portfolio, notably by engaging in crossover and collaboration projects, such as with WWE. This trend suggests that expanding into movies could be a natural progression for the company.

It's important to consider the timeline: the Angry Birds movie was released seven years after the game's launch. Although time has passed since Clash of Clans debuted, the game still boasts a robust audience. Additionally, Supercell's newer IPs, like Mo.co, present opportunities for family-oriented cinematic ventures.

We'll have to keep an eye on how this unfolds. In the meantime, if you're looking for something to do, why not explore our list of the top five new mobile games to try this week?
