Could Clash of Clans, or another major Supercell property, be heading to the big screen? It's more likely than you might think. The Finnish mobile gaming giant, Supercell, has recently begun the search for a senior film and TV development executive. This move suggests they might be following in the footsteps of their compatriot, Rovio, who successfully brought Angry Birds to the cinema back in 2016.

While the job description doesn't signal an immediate green light for movie production, it hints at a strategic approach to live-action and animated films, including both theatrical releases and streaming distribution. In simpler terms, this role involves watching and waiting, though it's likely Supercell is already sketching out preliminary plans should they decide to venture into the film and animation industry.

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

Even though it's been years since Clash of Clans was first released, it still boasts a robust audience. Plus, Supercell's newer IPs like Mo.co could be perfect for a family-friendly film. The successful Angry Birds movie, released seven years after the game's debut, serves as a reminder that timing isn't everything when it comes to game-to-film adaptations.

We'll have to wait and see how this unfolds. In the meantime, why not check out our list of the top five new mobile games to try this week to keep yourself entertained?
