Why Warcraft 2 Never Happened
Warcraft movie, released in 2016, never got a sequel due to disappointing box office performance and critical reception. Despite global popularity, the film's $160 million budget and marketing costs left it needing to make $450-500 million to break even. Director Duncan Jones has expressed interest in a sequel, and plans were reportedly in place in 2020 to adapt the second game into a movie.
For many fans of both the long-running multimedia franchise and the original movie, the fact that a second Warcraft film never happened is a constant source of disappointment. Released in 2016, the Warcraft movie built on the legacy of the long-running videogame series by uniting an impressive cast and director Duncan Jones, creating an epic original fantasy story. However, despite retaining many of the elements that made the Warcraft games so popular, the movie never received a sequel remaining as a standalone entry in the franchise.
Warcraft is available to stream on Netflix.
