David Leitch, who worked on Deadpool 2 and Atomic Blonde, will be helming the project as director, while Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. and The Wheel of Time writer Rafe Judkins has also be confirmed for the script.
Mega-stars Jake Gyllenhaal and Jessica Chastain have also been confirmed as having major roles in the production.
On its website, Ubisoft simply writes of the project: “Starring Jessica Chastain and Jake Gyllenhaal, The Division is set in the near future, where a pandemic virus has spread via contaminated cash on Black Friday, decimating New York City and killing millions.
“If civilization has any hope of rebuilding out of the chaos, it will be up to The Division, a group of highly trained civilians, to save what remains of society.”
