The highlight of the casting decisions would definitely have to be Rob Kazinsky, whom you may know from his roles in Pacific Rim and HBO’s True Blood. He’s actually a big time World Of Warcraft player, referring to the game as his “ultimate job” after boasting over 463 days played. The fact that he still has time to turn in stellar performances on the big screen with so many WoW hours logged in is madly impressive.
As a career WoW player, 463 days /played, it’s pretty much my ultimate job. proud to be a part of something that is such a major part of me.

As far as the plot for the Warcraft movie, all we know is obvious, like the fact that it will take place in Azeroth and feature the many familiar races of the Horde and Alliance like orcs and night elves (although it’d be nice to see a panda or two).
Are you excited about about newly revealed cast members? Let us know your thoughts down in the comments!
ummmmm,,,,where do you plug them in?? :/
Looks like Toby was the bad brother in Prince of Persia. Paula seems to have been in the last Mission Impossible, but I didn’t see that. My guess is she will be a night elf she is so gorgeous.
Article must have been corrected since I don’t see any of the issues from the comments. I like Travis, Ben, and Rob from Vikings, Xmen/6 feet Under, and Pacific Rim/True Blood. Don’t know the rest. Where’s Felicia Day?
lol they removed my comment lol thats racist pmsl
so another shit film comming out then
Everyone complaining about them saying Ogres are in WoW is retarded. There ARE Ogres… in multiple places throughout Kalimdor, The Eastern Kingdoms, AND The Outlands. I can’t name all areas they appear in but they do show up in Stranglethorn Vale and Zangarmarsh.
I’m sure he’s a great actor, but I’d say the highlight of the casting so far is Ben Foster. He’s the only actor whose work I am familiar with, sorry True Blood just isn’t my thing.
The fact that i typed NEEERRDD RAGGEEE should imply i was joking. You guys are the ones that need to calm down.
The movie will suck unless it has Leeroy Jenkins
Is The Barrens Chat leaking?
U bunch of sad feckers!!!
N3RD FIGHT!
WOW is gonna be amaaazing!
cant wait for the Elf guys battle the Covenant Zealots and Grunts
is that Magneto guy gonna be in this one too?
Ogres exist in wow as an NPC, and in the history some characters as Rexxar was borned from a Orc and Ogre o.O you cansee that in the campaing of rexxar on warcraft III Expantion. (Sorry for my bad english) XD
And Will Shatner! 😉 with a holy hand grenade…..
Is mr t going to be in it too?.
A whole row of dudes, and then, Paula Patton. What is she, Smurfette? I can see this going into a total testosterone-fest, with her being totally objectified, because that’s what happens when a nearly all-male cast has one woman, particularly if the woman is as attractive as Patton. I don’t expect the movie to pass the Bechdel test, by any means, but I can see the genderfail in this one coming a mile away.
The cast so far is a very interesting mix. I can see Travis Fimmel (if he is casted) as a dwarf (He is on the Vikings show…like come on total bad ass right there!). I do not know what story what they are going with, but I have faith in this.
what is this a make up test? Oh wait it’s a promo photo BEFORE the FX. makeup. Oh my bad.
Malik, just own up to the fact you messed up and were factually incorrect about ogres vs orcs, and races vs classes. It’s okay to admit you didn’t know. Saying you weren’t “specific enough” is a cop out.. Just proofread and/or Wiki before posting next time please.
Ben Foster! Yes.
gut reaction is uh oh. could be good. could be bad. we will see in time.
I only know one of those actors…RAGNAR!
I guess I should’ve been more specific. Calm down folks haha
These comments angry about Ogres in WoW must not have played the game. They are all up in that. Two headed Ogres even. Half-ogres. Sad that some of us nerds “rage” but obviously don’t know that we are raging for incorrect reasons. You should rage that they considered night elves and ogres “classes” since they are races, obviously one is not playable.
Wow calm down on the nerd rage on errors, don’t be those types of nerds.
There are Ogres in WoW, they’re not a playable race but they definitely exist.
Oh, and I think you typed Classes when you meant Races.
I mean, there are npc and enemy ogres. Like in BoT and stuff. The Twilight people have a lot of ogres.
Ogres in WoW? This site must die!
ITS ORCS NOT OGRES JESUS!!! N3333RRRDDD RAAAGGGEEE
