Overview
- Multiple industry reports indicate Universal is restarting the Doom film franchise with a full reboot.
- Dwayne Johnson, who starred in the 2005 adaptation, is not part of the planned reset as the studio distances itself from prior continuity.
- No cast, director, or release window has been announced, pointing to an early development phase.
- Reporting suggests the new take may lean into the games’ horror roots and tone, though creative details remain unconfirmed.
- Previous attempts—the 2005 theatrical film and 2019’s direct-to-video Doom: Annihilation—fell short, even as the video game series remains influential and commercially strong.
