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.

During the Legendary Pictures panel at San Diego Comic-Con, director Duncan Jones took the stage in Hall H to discuss his upcoming Warcraft film.

He addressed concerns about the pressure associated with adapting a property that’s been around nearly 20 years, and how he deals with the expectations of millions of World of Warcraft players by saying that we deserve to see an origin story how the conflict between orcs and humans began.

During Preview Night last night at San Diego Comic-Con, Legendary Pictures unveiled the official logo and movie title card for Warcraft, the feature film adaptation of the popular game.

At Legendary’s booth, never-before-seen hand-forged Warcraft movie props were displayed: the iconic Doomhammer unleashed in the name of the Horde, and the Dragon Sword with the Lion Shield for the Alliance.

Title card is above; check out here below the photos of the props.

Very few details are known of the World of Warcraft movie, which is titled Warcraft, apart from the director, Duncan Jones (Moon, Source Code), and cast.

One of the cast members, Ben Foster (3:10 to Yuma, Lone Survivor), recently decided to share some information on the movie and the character he’s playing…a character those who play WoW will recognize.
