Supercell Seeks Talent for Clash of Clans Film and TV Projects

Could Clash of Clans or another major Supercell property be making its way to the big screen? It's more likely than you might think. The Finnish mobile gaming giant, Supercell, has recently announced they are hiring a senior film and TV development executive, sparking speculation that they might follow in the footsteps of fellow Finnish developer Rovio, who successfully brought Angry Birds to cinemas back in 2016.

However, as reported by our sister site PocketGamer.biz, the job description suggests this role isn't about jumping straight into production. Instead, the new hire will be tasked with developing a comprehensive strategy for live-action and animated films, covering both theatrical releases and streaming platforms. In business terms, this indicates a more strategic, long-term approach rather than an immediate green light for film projects.

Despite this, it's reasonable to speculate that Supercell might be laying the groundwork for future cinematic endeavors. The company has been pushing boundaries with its game catalog, venturing into exciting crossovers and collaborations, such as the one with WWE. This move into different media seems like a natural progression for the developer.

It's worth noting that even though a significant amount of time has passed since Clash of Clans was first released, the precedent set by Angry Birds—which hit the big screen seven years after its debut—shows that there's still a strong audience for these games. Additionally, Supercell's newer IPs, like Mo.co, could potentially be developed into family-friendly movies.

Only time will tell how this unfolds. In the meantime, if you're looking for something to keep you entertained, why not explore our list of the top five new mobile games to try this week?
