Netflix's Gears of War movie has a confirmed plotAccording to Entertainment Weekly, the movie will be an origin story for Delta SquadThis does mean that the game's protagonist, Marcus Fenix, may not appear in the Netflix adaptationGears of War is headed to Netflix, and we finally have some confirmed plot details about the new movie adaptation.According to reports from Entertainment Weekly, the Netflix Gears of War movie will be an origin story for Delta Squad, the main infantry team in the original video game series.Entertainment Weekly revealed that the official logline for the movie is simply: "The origin story of Delta Squad, a ragtag crew of soldiers who wage a desperate war for survival against the Locust, a race of subterranean creatures set on destroying humanity."Speaking about the movie, Matt Booty, Xbox's executive vice president and chief content officer, told the site: “The game really is about the bonds between teams. It's about brotherhood at its core."When you go visit the studio, their tagline is ‘Never Fight Alone.’ So when you think about that for a dramatic narrative, it's a pretty good starting point.”Will Gears of War feature Marcus Fenix?Considering Marcus Fenix is the protagonist of the first three games in the Gears of War video game series, many of us are wondering if he will show up in Netflix's Gears of War movie.It's too early to say for now, as we don't have casting confirmation for the project, so we can't confirm which characters will appear. But if Marcus is absent and the plot focuses wholly on life before him, this may come as a disappointment for fans.We can't accurately pinpoint how Netflix's Gears of War will fit into the franchise's timeline until more information is released. If it focuses more on the first game, then we might see Marcus after all. If it doesn't, then this is certainly not the first time a video game adaptation has moved away from the original protagonists. Recently, Prime Video's Fallout chose not to focus on the Lone Wanderer or The Courier, and Zach Cregger's Resident Evil has a brand-new leading character too.We will just have to wait patiently to see how Gears of War plays out on Netflix.
