Rumours Of Warcraft Sequel Spreads

 

It was positioned as The Beginning of a budding new franchise at Legendary Entertainment, but since Warcraft‘s lowly performance at the domestic box office sequel chatter has understandably cooled.

How and ever, given almost 90 percent of Warcraft‘s total box office haul hailed from international audiences, it’s hardly surprising that the first flicker of hope has emerged from overseas. China, to be specific, where microblogging website Weibo hinted that although Warcraft‘s theatrical run has come to a close, this is simply the end of the beginning. It’s by no means a confirmation, and until Legendary officially pin down sequel plans, take this one with a pinch of Deeprock salt.

Though it was quickly chalked up as one of the early flops of the blockbuster season, there’s still hope for Warcraft‘s future. Duncan Jones has long expressed his desire to return to Azeroth in the not-so-distant future, just as soon as he steers long-gestating passion project Mute before the cameras. Warcraft: The Beginning marched out of a trying stint in production and onto the silver screen earlier this year, where it was met with divisive reviews.
