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 was scheduled to be released in cinemas in 2025,[4] but has since been delayed to an unknown date. First-look images of the film were unveiled in June 2025.[5] The film is scheduled to premiere at the Annecy International Animation Film Festival in June 2026.[6]
