Premise

"Rogue Trooper tells the story of 19, a 'Genetic Infantryman,' who finds himself the sole-survivor of an invasion force. Desperate to track down the traitor who sold him and his comrades out, the super soldier is accompanied by three killed-in-action squad mates, whose personalities have been stored in his gun, helmet and rucksack."

Cast

Production

In 2011, Grant Morrison intended to write a film adaptation of the 2000 AD comic strip Rogue Trooper , but the project never came to fruition due to disappointing box office takings of Dredd (2012), which was also based on a 2000 AD comic. [2] In July 2018, Duncan Jones revealed that his next project would be a Rogue Trooper adaptation. [3]

In January 2024, Aneurin Barnard, Hayley Atwell, Jack Lowden, Daryl McCormack, Reece Shearsmith, Jemaine Clement, Matt Berry, Diane Morgan, Alice Lowe, Asa Butterfield and Sean Bean had joined the cast of the film. Jones was confirmed as director, writer and producer, and the film would be animated by Treehouse Digital using Epic Games' Unreal Engine 5 tool. The film was produced by Rebellion Developments and Liberty Films, with principal photography having been completed at Rebellion Film Studios in the United Kingdom. [1]

Release

Rogue Trooper is scheduled to be released in cinemas in 2025. [4] First-look images of the film were unveiled in June 2025. [5]
