Hollywood may be ready to jump on the Modern Warfare 2 bandwagon with a film adaptation.

According to Scottish actor Kevin McKidd, who voices Soap MacTavish in the game, rumours of a Call of Duty film are currently circulating Hollywood.

"They were looking for a rough, Scottish actor in Hollywood they probably couldn't get Gerard Butler, so they got the No. 2 Gerard Butler, me. I had no idea it would be so huge, and now there are talks of a feature film," he told to PopWrap (via NYPost).

When asked if he will reprise the role of Soap in the movie, McKidd replied "if the script is good, and Gerard isn't available [laughs], then absolutely." 

Modern Warfare 2 won’t be the first Activision game to get the film treatment – A World of Warcraft has reportedly been in production for a while, with Sam Raimi announced as director earlier this year.
