The cat has been let out of the bag for fans of World Of Warcraft! Legendary Pictures and Universal studios have officially announced the cast of the upcoming motion picture Warcraft, which is being directed by Duncan Jones who is responsible for Moon and Source Code.
Universal Studios & Legendary Pictures have released the deals with Ben Foster, Travis Fimmel, Paula Patton, Toby Kebbell, Rob Kazinsky, and still closing the deal with Dominic Cooper to star in Warcraft. The characters that any of the actors will be playing is still yet to be known, as little to no details have been officially released on the story line of the film.
Foster is known for his notable worthy roles, including Alpha Dog, Six Feet Under, 3:10 to Yuma, The Messenger, and X-Men: The Last Stand. While Fimmel can be found in his best known role in the History’s Channel series Vikings.
Kebbell is known from his roles in RocknRolla, Prince Of Persia: The Sands Of Time, The Sorcerer’s Apprentice and Wrath Of The Titans. Patton has appeared in Déjà vu, Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol, and 2 Guns.
Cooper’s roles can be found from movies like An Education, The Devil’s Double, My Week With Marilyn, Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Slayer, and the Captain America movies as Tony Stark’s father.
Principal production begins on Warcraft in January of next year, with a release date of March 11, 2016.
These names might not be super-recognizable to a lot of people, but that’s the thing about actors: there are a LOT of actors out there who don’t become Tom Cruise and Charlize Theron, and still have successful careers because they’re reliable and versatile. Most of the actors cast for this are pretty new, but have all demonstrated their range. So with a solid script, a coherent story, and solid character-oriented direction (something Duncan Jones is good at given Moon and Source Code) this movie will really showcase what these actors can do.
