The movie Warcraft (which likewise passes its complete name, Warcraft: The Beginning, leaving it open up to prospective follows up) wasn’t specifically a failing as a computer game adjustment, however it absolutely disappointed assumptions. As it locates brand-new target markets on Netflix and makes it right into the Top 10, however, we need to question whether this success can result in a Warcraft 2.

As a motion picture reworking of Blizzard Entertainment’s precious MMORPG, World of Warcraft, the movie made an average $439 million around the world and rests at lowly 29% on Rotten Tomatoes. Roger Ebert called it “an easy contender for the worst movie of the year.” Interestingly, the target market function on Google Reviews prices it 4.5 celebrities, which discusses why it’s lately come to be so preferred on Netflix.

Rumors of a follow up started to mix in September 2023, when an intended intro entitled Warcraft 2: The Lich King showed up on YouTube. Nine months later on, an additional trailer for Warcraft 2: The Final Chapter, complied with. Here’s if either of those mean a Warcraft 2 involving Netflix.

Is Warcraft 2 involving Netflix?

Unfortunately, both trailers over were phonies (it takes place a great deal) and no such follow up has actually been verified. The discounts were fan-made, and while outstanding, neither included any type of brand-new video footage however instead intelligently assembled things from the existing movie.

That’s not to state a follow up, also a trilogy, is absolutely inconceivable. Director Duncan Jones revealed rate of interest in making a 2nd movie. In 2017, he informed the group at an unique testing what his strategies were for 2 follows up.

“My fascination with trying to do Warcraft in three films and the idea of family is, I love the idea of Durotan has sacrificed himself so his son and the people he cares about can survive—I want to see that sacrifice pay off. That’s the trilogy. That’s the heart of the story,” he stated, per GeekyTyrant.com.

“The rest of it is mumbo jumbo names and shit. Good shit, because Chris Metzen is a wonderful writer, but the heart of the story is someone’s sacrifice because they thought it was worth sacrificing for, and it was a good person who has a good kid and I want that good kid to pay off.”

Then once again, Jones tweeted in 2018 that it “doesn’t look good, my friend,” when a follower asked if a follow-up to the film remained in the jobs. However, an additional Warcraft film can concern displays without Jones being entailed.

Warcraft franchise business supervisor John Hight informed IGN at the Game Developers’ Conference in March 2024 that the firm is open to a lot more movies based on their IP, however eventually, Activision-Blizzard is a video games workshop initial and the connection would certainly need to be ideal.

“If we can find talent in other areas doing media that have that shared love and passion for Warcraft, absolutely. But I think I’ve seen, unfortunately, some of my colleagues get enamored with the idea of becoming filmmakers and leveraging the opportunity that they have in owning the IP or controlling the IP to be an entry into filmmaking,” he stated.

“I think if we found the right partner, found the right situation, I think especially if they have a proficiency in a game genre that we really don’t, I think that’d be the ideal partner for us to work with and we’re open to that, but that’s relatively new. I’m open to it because I want to have Warcraft out there a little more than it is now, and I also don’t want to have us grow so fast that we’re no longer able to serve the audiences we have.”

So, don’t quit, WoW followers!

Warcraft is readily available to stream on Netflix.
