Will it all be CG movie? And will it follows original Warcraft story or WoW retconnings? (Dwarf riflemen shown up in W2, second phase of Alliance campaign, rather than in W3)

I am interested in seeing how they will do Khadgar. He is a major character in Warlords of Draenor, and a very good character at that.

Definitely intrigued... I remember playing Warcraft 1,2 and Starcraft back in the day. Never got into WC3 or WOW.

It's nice to see all this fantasy movies being made lately..some good some not so good.

Well, the main cast are playing only Humans and Orcs thus far.

Humans:
Travis Fimmel (Vikings): Lothar
Dominic Cooper (Need for Speed, Captain America): King Llane
Ruth Negga (The Samaritan, Love/Hate): Lady Taria
Ben Schnetzer (Pride, The Riot Club, The Book Thief): Khadgar

Orcs:
Toby Kebbell (Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, Prince of Persia, Sorcerer’s Apprentice, War Horse): Durotan
Rob Kazinsky (Pacific Rim): Orgrim Doomhammer
Clancy Brown (The Shawshank Redemption): Blackhand the Destroyer
Paula Patton (Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol, Precious, 2 Guns): Garona
Ben Foster (Lone Survivor, 3:10 to Yuma): Medivh
Daniel Wu (That Demon Within, The Man with the Iron Fists, New Police Story): Gul’dan



Looks to be very much scope of WC1. All those Humans are representative of Stormwind and the allies from Lorderon. The orcs are representative of the orcs who opened the portal and those who came through.

I do think it is interesting that Garona and Medivh are going to be a prominent role... Garona and Khadgar and Medieh are a really interesting aspect of the WC1 lore... but they also lead to one of the most hated aspects of the lore, Med'an who is a character people seem to hate from the comic series who is not quite canon... (I really am not sure, maybe he is... he has never set foot in WOW so no one cares)

So I would expect minimal Elves/Dwarves/Trolls... Just 3 stories:
*The orcs breaking through the portal and the leadership of the horde ( the evil Blackhand vs the Honorable Doomhammer)
*Wizardly folk finding out about Medivh and the demon Sargeras opening the portal on the human side. Khadgar, Guldan and Garona.
*The humans generally getting the gak kicked out of them and the races of Azeroth generally ignoring it and sipping tea as it is not their problem. Maybe even the killing of Llane.

What it would do different from LotR is show 'evil' races as sympathetic and not necessarily cut and dry 'pretty people good, Sauron bad.' Thrall is a really amazing character and Arthas is too on scriptflipping archtypes. But that would be 2-3 movies away

Lots of 7-movie franchises have died before they start due to simply bad launches.

I'm interested that they're casting Taria (King Llane's child) as a woman.
Though this character has never been portrayed, it's always been referenced as being a male. Not a bad way to insert a female character into a seeming male-dominated cast.

I look forward to Medivh and his tower. Easily my favorite raid in World of Warcraft.

I read a lot of the books when I was young, as well as playing the games a lot. I hated how the treated Garona in the new cannon. She used to be so bamf and mysterious. Now she is kinda lame.

I think the second game is when Elves and Trolls were introduced, by the way. That will be fun to watch. Those races have so awesome characters.
