Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II is a 2022 animated Canadian/American action film directed and executive produced by Jesse Spade and written by Spade and Brian Bloom. Produced by Activision, Digic Pictures and distributed by Sony Pictures, it is the third Call of Duty film and the first feature length Call of Duty film to be made. The film directly follows the events of the 2019 reboot Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and ignores the narratives introduced in the SpecOps, Multiplayer, and Warzone modes, and instead picks up where the Campaign left off when Khaled Al-Asad is shown to have invaded Verdansk. The film features an ensemble cast including Barry Sloane, Elliot Knight, Neil Ellice, Samuel Roukin, Alain Mesa, Bayardo De Murguia, Michael Benyaer, Glenn Morshower, Bruce Greenwood, Cliff Curtis, LaMonica Garrett, Orlando Bloom, Rya Kihlstedt, Warren Kole, Claudie Doumit and Stefan Kapičić. The film follows Task Force 141 as they deal with Al-Qatala-Aljahdid's new leader Khaled Al-Asad, who has turned the organization into a formidable threat and occupies the capital city of Kastovia, Verdansk.
The film was released on December 16th, 2022. It is the fifth film directed by Jesse Spade and the third he had written, and his first collaboration with Brian Bloom. It is also Jesse Spade's first production with Sony Pictures, Digic Pictures and Activision, that came to fruition after Spade expressed interest in a Call of Duty film. Activision has stated that the film is not an adaption of the 2022 video game of the same name and is considered to be standalone.

After a Russian black operation is revealed to the public, Al-Qatala-Aljahdid retaliates with a terrorist attack in the United States using an American ballistic missile in Texas that kills the US Vice President. With this, Kate Laswell contacts John Price and tasks him to figure out how Khaled Al-Asad got their hands on a ballistic missile and how did his forces even get into America.
