For a franchise as popular (and massive) as Warcraft, details regarding the upcoming, big-budget movie based on the World of Warcraft game have been surprisingly scarce… until now, that is.

Blizzard Entertainment used its recent BlizzCon event to reveal the full cast of the upcoming film, as well as the characters that will appear in it and some promotional art teasing the upcoming, big-screen clash between the Alliance and the Horde.

Set to be directed by Duncan Jones (Moon), Warcraft features two groups of cast members from the rival armies. On the Alliance side, Travis Fimmel plays Anduin Lothar, Dominic Cooper plays King Llane Wrynn, Ben Foster plays Medivh (one of the few casting choices revealed thus far), Ben Schnetzer plays Khadgar, Ruth Negga plays Lady Taria, and Paula Patton plays Garona.

For the Horde, Toby Kebbel plays Durotan, Rob Kazinsky plays Orgrim, Clancy Brown plays Blackhand, and Daniel Wu plays Gul’Dan.

Blizzard also released a pair of promotional images (posted below) for the film focusing on each of the factions. They invite fans to visit a pair of websites where they’re able to pledge allegiance to either the Alliance or the Horde. The sites feature some additional promotional imagery for the film, with the promise of more updates as the film’s March 2016 release date approaches.

3 underrated (HBO) Max movies you should watch this weekend (June 28-30)
A girl looks at a boy in House at the End of the Street.

June is surprisingly over, and with it, a great month for movies comes to a satisfactory close. You've probably watched Inside Out 2 or Bad Boys: Ride or Die or maybe even The Bikeriders. From blockbusters to indie fare, the theatrical movie business has been robust and healthy.

The same goes for streaming. Netflix had a big hit with Richard Linklater's Hit Man, while Amazon Prime Video recently premiered the latest bonkers season of The Boys. HBO and Max have been quieter, but their robust library speaks volumes to the streamer's high quality. The following three films are older, but are just as worth your time as new hits like House of the Dragon season 2.

Two men spy from a car in The Limey.

As we head toward the end of June, it's worth reflecting on how we want to spend the rest of summer. For some, that's going to mean enjoying nice weather or getting some time in at the beach. For others, it might mean escaping from the heat, at least for a while, to check out a great movie.

If you fall into that second category, then we've pulled together a list of three great, underrated, titles available on Amazon Prime Video that are all worth checking out. Prime Video is home to some of the best movies available online, but it can be hard to find the ones you want. These three will at least give you a great place to start.

The best Netflix original series right now
Eric and Benedict Cumberbatch in Eric.

The era of Peak TV was also Peak Netflix, because the streamer seemingly had an endless supply of new original series. So far in 2024, that hasn't been the case. Whether we'll ever get the same level of content again seems unlikely for now. But even in a reduced capacity, Netflix still has a few new additions to its lineup of originals.

For the month of June, we're adding the '80s-set thriller, Eric, which stars Benedict Cumbebatch. Our other pick for the month is Supacell, which is Netflix's new British series that remixes some old superhero archetypes. That's not a very big selection for fans who always want something new, but this roundup of the best Netflix original series really does have all of the top options in one place for you. All you have to do is scroll down and make time to binge watch some shows.
