Plot details about the movie have been kept under wraps since it was first announced in September 2025. But during a “Call of Duty in Culture Panel” promoting the October release of “Modern Warfare 4,” which took place at Fanatics Fest in NYC Saturday, “Call of Duty” movie director and co-writer Peter Berg took the stage to reveal to fans that the film will be set in the “Modern Warfare” universe.
