Characters Revealed For ‘Warcraft’ Movie
  |  @   |  

This past weekend at Blizzard Entertainment’s big show BlizzCon in Anaheim, CA, Legendary Pictures and Atlas Entertainment pulled the curtain back on more details about Warcraft, the much-anticipated live-action film adaptation of Blizzard’s popular video game.

Director Duncan Jones appeared on a panel for the film and the characters for the film were revealed, along with some new actors. See the list below of characters and their respective actors, divided up between “Alliance” and “Horde.”

It was also confirmed that Warcraft will be visiting the world of Azeroth as it was in the age of the first war.

THE ALLIANCE

Anduin Lothar (Travis Fimmel)
The lead protagonist for the Alliance, Lothar is a war hero who has sacrificed everything to keep the people of Azeroth safe.

King Llane Wrynn (Dominic Cooper)
King Llane is the leader of the Alliance city of Stormwind and a beacon of hope to its people in a time of darkness.

Medivh (Ben Foster)
Known as “˜the Guardian,’ Medivh is a mysterious and reclusive protector who wields formidable power.

Khadgar (Ben Schnetzer)
Khadgar is a gifted young mage, embarking on a daring search for the truth.

Lady Taria (Ruth Negga)
Taria is the royal Queen of Stormwind, King Llane’s great love and most trusted counsel.

Garona (Paula Patton)
Caught between the Alliance and the Horde, Garona is a strong-willed survivor who must decide where her true loyalty lies.

THE HORDE

Durotan (Toby Kebbel)
The lead protagonist for the Horde, Durotan is the noble Chieftain of the Frostwolf Clan, battling to save his people and his family from extinction.

Orgrim (Rob Kazinsky)
Orgrim is Durotan’s right hand and a brave warrior destined to wield the Doomhammer: a weapon of orc legend.

Blackhand (Clancy Brown)
Known as “˜The Destroyer’, Blackhand is one of orc-kind’s most fearsome and titanic warchiefs.

Gul’Dan (Daniel Wu)
Gul’dan is a supreme orc ruler, fueled by a dark magic that even he cannot control.

The rich history established for the popular series (which eventually spawned into the World of Warcraft) is full of great stories that have been translated not only into game, but into novels and comics as well. In Azerothian history, The First War is set shortly after the arrival of the orcish Horde into the world. The events and outcome of that conflict set the stage for the larger and more monumental Second War.

Warcraft is directed by Duncan Jones and produced by Charles Roven, Thomas Tull, Jon Jashni and Alex Gartner. Stuart Fenegan, Jillian Share, Brent O’Connor, with Blizzard Entertainment’s Michael Morhaime and Paul Sams serving as executive producers. The film is set for a March 11, 2016 theatrical release through Universal Pictures.

Check out the video below for the complete panel and to hear more details about the exciting project.
