Rumor: World of Warcraft movie will be rebooted, ignoring the 2016 version and completely reshooting

According to foreign media wegotthiscovered, their sources told them that Legendary Pictures is already discussing a new version of the "Warcraft" movie. The insider of wegotthiscovered had previously accurately leaked the news that Ben Affleck would return to play Batman in "The Flash" before the official announcement.

According to the insider, the new "World of Warcraft" movie will ignore the 2016 film directed by Duncan Jones and will be completely remade from scratch. This is certainly not good news for fans who like the "World of Warcraft" movie, not to mention the actors who signed multiple contracts hoping that the "World of Warcraft" movie will become a series.

Foreign media also revealed that the director of the new version of "Warcraft" movie has not yet been determined, but Peter Jackson, who directed "The Lord of the Rings" trilogy and "The Hobbit" trilogy, is one of the top choices of Legendary Pictures executives.

Although the domestic box office of the 2016 Warcraft movie has not reached 50 million US dollars, the overseas box office of the movie is extremely high, with a global box office of 439 million US dollars, more than half of which came from China. However, it is said that the production cost of the movie of 160 million and the continuous marketing have made the profit margin extremely slim.
