10 Cloverfield Lane: While not set in space, this 2016 movie is what happens when you want to combine Among Us but you want to do it on Earth.

Can you expect an Among Us movie made after the game?
Having filled with love for the game and after seeing the several fan posters that could have been made real, many have come to expect a movie that captures the essence of paranoia and thrill that you get when playing Among Us.
Although movies have made us realize that nothing is impossible to adapt, no one has announced that they’re making a movie about Among Us, not even Netflix. But don’t lose hope, there might always be new movies to look forward to and maybe, just maybe, the next space-based sci-fi title takes inspiration from the game.
