Next fall, actor Robert Kazinsky will be headlining Foxâs new drama, The Frankenstein Code. In that series, Kazinsky plays a resurrected cop who fights crime. But Kazinsky has an even more impressive role in the upcoming Warcraft film.
Wired has published the first images of Kazinsky as Orgrim Doomhammer, one of the main orc characters in Legendary Picturesâ upcoming Warcraft adaptation.
Orgrim is one of the most prominent characters in World of Warcraftâs history, with a backstory linked to the First and Second Wars within the game. For live action, Orgrimâs appearance was created by Industrial Light & Magic from Blizzard Entertainmentâs concept art and Kazinskyâs photographs and performance to produce a very lifelike CGI orc.
Regarding Kazinsky, Jones added that he wanted âsomeone who would be able to perform the gruffness, the humor, and the toughness of this character.â
Kazinskyâs Orgrim will share the screen with Clancy Brown as Blackhand, Travis Fimmel as Anduin Lothar, Ben Foster as Medivh, Toby Kebbell as Durotan, Paula Patton as Garona, Daniel Wu as Gul’dan, Dominic Cooper as King Llane, and Ben Schnetzer as Khadgar.
Warcraft will invade movie theaters on June 10, 2016.
What do you think of Orgrim’s look? Does it have you shouting “For the Horde!”?
