Clash of Clans Characters Are Getting Replaced by WWE Wrestlers

The official Clash of Clans account on X, formerly Twitter, made a major announcement — Clash of Clans is coming to Netflix. “Sound the horns, raise the banners, and reinforce your village walls—Clash is invading @Netflix! We’re making a new animated series starring your favorite mustachioed Barbarian and his high-pitched, hog-riding friends. Charge!” the announcement read. The post on X was accompanied by a clip showing tons of requests from fans who wanted to see a Clash of Clans movie or TV series. Fans have been asking for this project since 2012 and are finally getting it with the anticipated series, Clash. Netflix also announced the project and confirmed that the upcoming series would reflect the game’s chaos and brutality. The streaming giant added:
It follows a determined, but in over his head, Barbarian who must rally a band of misfits to defend their village and navigate the comically absurd politics of war.
Fletcher Moules, who directed the original Clash of Clans animated videos, will showrun the TV series. Ron Weiner, known for projects like Silicon Valley, 30 Rock, Futurama, and Arrested Development, will serve as executive producer. Icon Creative Studio, a CG Animation Studio based in Vancouver, British Columbia, will lead the animation, per The Hollywood Reporter. The company is also behind the Emmy-winning Monsters at Work and was involved in several animated projects, including Rocket Club: Airing, Action Pack, Firebuds, Alice’s Wonderland Bakery, Transformers EarthSpark, and The Search for WondLA. They have several projects in production like Star Wars Young Jedi Adventures, Prep & Landing, Disney Junior Ariel, and Dragoons. Curtis Lelash, the head of film & TV at Supercell, said they were delighted that the project was finally happening because many had been asking for it for years. John Derderian, vice president of animation series, said the characters from the Clash of Clans were “perfect for an animated series adaptation.” He was also pleased to be part of the projects because Clash of Clans was a “global gaming phenomenon.” It dominated the mobile gaming charts for a long time. And Derderian was excited to work with Weiner, Moules, and the Supercell team.

The iconic characters from the Clash of Clans include troops like the Barbarian, Archer, Wizard, and P.E.K.K.A. Many have played the game since 2012, so the new project brings nostalgia and legacy. It’s also a great way to introduce the game and pass on the experience to a younger audience. With Icon Creative Studio working on the animation, it will surely be impressive. Hopefully, the story will deliver a well-balanced comedy and action, which drew fans in with the game’s short animated videos.
