Considering the recent film adaptations of various games,
one should not have too much hope for the movie Riot in the

can replicate what he did with the John Wick series and

in making live-action versions of the action series Splinter Cell,
Hitman, and Just Cause, and most recently as executive producer on
the Disney-Falcon and Winter Soldier series. On the other hand, the

is scheduled for release in March 2023.
