The World of Warcraft movie is expected to begin filming early next year, and last we heard, it was rumored that Colin Farrell and Paul Patton could be starring in the movie. Well it turns out the rumor was half right as the cast (or at least part of it) for the movie has been revealed. This is according to Universal Pictures who confirmed that they have managed to close deals with Ben Foster, Travis Fimmel, Paula Patton, Toby Kebbell, Rob Kazinsky, and Dominic Cooper. As it stands that leaves other actors, such as Colin Farrell, Paul Dano, Anton Yelchin, and Anson Mount, as rumored but not confirmed, but for now the abovementioned list are in.
For the most part these actors are famous in their own right, but they aren’t necessarily considered to be big names in the movie industry, as in they might not have the same amount of fame or recognition compared to mentioning a name such as George Clooney, or Brad Pitt, for example. This is admittedly is a good thing since big name actors usually have an image or style associated with them which could work against them when filming for a movie such as World of Warcraft, a franchise which has its own rich history and loyal following and where its characters have been years in development. The World of Warcraft movie is expected to be released on the 11th of March 2016. The movie has been delayed from its original release date of the 18th of December 2015 due to conflicts with the Star Wars: Episode VII movie. So are you happy with the cast list so far?
