How was the 1st Warcraft movie received?
The film "Warcraft: The Beginning" was rather a flop in American cinemas. In Europe, too, things looked only marginally better. However, the film was quite successful in China, so that the costs could be recouped.
This gave rise to the rumors: A second film could well be in the making.
What about the rumors?
Rumors have been around for a very long time – but not a single one of them goes back to a reliable source. Often these are even just fan trailers uploaded to YouTube, which are then supposed to show supposed scenes from a new film.
There are currently no really solid indications from trustworthy sources about the development of a new Warcraft movie. The other, untrustworthy sources can all be exposed as fake quite quickly.
What are the facts?
There are basically only two statements about a possible sequel to Warcraft that are really reliable.
- Duncan Jones, the director, said on Twitter in June 2018 that it doesn't look good in terms of a sequel.
- In 2020, there were reports that Legendary was working on another Warcraft movie. But there were no details as to whether this would happen under Universal Pictures or under Sony, Warner or Netflix. There has been no information about it for 4 years, which suggests that the idea has been discarded.
Is that quite impossible?
No, of course not. Even though it is probably not likely that Blizzard will take up the narrative of Warcraft again as a film, there are other media. Especially in recent years, many gaming franchises have shown that an adaptation as a series can work wonderfully. Just think of Arcane (League of Legends), Witcher, Cyberpunk 2077 or The Last of Us. All these series were well received and should be considered successful.
However, nothing has been confirmed in this regard yet. If anything is in development, it's likely to be years in the future, and if anything, we probably won't hear about it until BlizzCon 2025 at the earliest. After all, you should always keep in mind that there were a whopping 10 years between the first announcement of the Warcraft movie and its release.
Where to watch Warcraft: The Beginning?
Currently, the 1st Warcraft movie is available on Netflix. But you can also rent the film on all other major platforms, such as Amazon, Sky or Apple TV, for a fee.
