Could Clash of Clans, or another major Supercell property, be making the leap to the big screen? It's a possibility that's more tangible than you might think, as the renowned Finnish mobile developer has recently initiated a search for a senior film and TV development executive. This move suggests that Supercell might be following in the footsteps of Rovio, which successfully transitioned their Angry Birds franchise into movies back in 2016.

While the idea of Supercell venturing into the film industry isn't out of the realm of possibility, it's worth noting that the job description, as highlighted by our sister site PocketGamer.biz, isn't seeking immediate action. Instead, it's focused on developing a comprehensive strategy for live-action and animated films, along with theatrical and streaming distribution. In business terms, this suggests a more observational and strategic role, preparing for potential future moves rather than immediate action. However, it's likely that Supercell is already sketching out preliminary plans should they decide to pursue film and/or animation projects.

Clash for the agesSupercell has been pushing boundaries with their game catalog, notably through exciting crossovers and collaborations, such as with WWE. This trend indicates that expanding into movies could be a logical next step for the developer.

Although it's been years since Clash of Clans was first released, it's important to remember that the highly successful Angry Birds movie came out seven years after the game's debut. Despite the passage of time, Clash of Clans still boasts a robust audience, and Supercell has newer IPs like Mo.co that could be adapted into family-friendly films.

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