Okay, okay, this is obviously silly.
There is no indication right now that it could be a Civ movie, but who knows?
What would that anyways look like? Discuss the possibility of a Civ movie with “The Rock” in our forum here.

GameRant has published an article about the art director of Civ and XCOM forming a new gaming studio, Bit Reactor, with other veterans from Firaxis. The focus of the studio will go more in the direction of XCOM than of Civ, meaning more tactical turn-based games.

We are obviously curious about this development and will follow it closely.
