What happens

Major Grom: The Game (Russian: Майор Гром: Игра) is a 2024 Russian superhero film based on the comic book series Major Grom by the Russian publisher Bubble Comics, in particular on the story arc The Game. Created by Bubble Studios in collaboration with Plus Studio and distributed by the Central Partnership film distribution company, the project is a direct sequel to the film Major Grom: Plague Doctor (2021) and the third motion picture in the Bubble Cinematic Universe (BCU) media franchise. The film was directed by Oleg Trofim, and the script was written by Artyom Gabrelyanov, Nikolay Shishkin, and Yekaterina Krasner. It stars Tikhon Zhiznevsky returned to the role of Major Grom, alongside Lyubov Aksyonova, Aleksei Maklakov, Aleksandr Seteykin, Sergei Goroshko, and Dmitry Chebotaryov. The action takes place a year after the main events of The Plague Doctor. In the story, Grom becomes quite popular in his native Saint Petersburg and faces a new villain known as The Ghost. Work on The Game began in November 2022, when the process of creating the film Grom: Boyhood (2023) was still being completed, and two months later the project was officially announced. Filming took place in March 2023 at various locations in St. Petersburg. Major Grom: The Game was chosen as the opening film of the 46th Moscow International Film Festival, which premiered on 26 April 2024, and was theatrically released in Russia on 23 May 2024.
