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.

We need to stop taking Guy Ritchie for granted
Guy Ritchie looks at a monitor on set of The Gentlemen.

Few directors have had a more prolific past five years than Guy Ritchie. The filmmaker, once known best for his late 1990s/early 2000s British gangster movies, has fully completed his transition from scrappy upstart to reliable studio director. He began that journey in the late 2000s and continued it throughout the 2010s when he agreed to direct films like Sherlock Holmes, King Arthur: Legend of the Sword, and — in one of the strangest creative decisions in Hollywood history — Disney's live-action Aladdin. There were multiyear gaps between a few of those movies, though, and all four of his 2010s titles (including 2015's The Man from U.N.C.L.E.) were connected, in some form or another, to a preexisting piece of intellectual property.

This decade, Ritchie's already released five movies: The Gentlemen, Wrath of Man, Operation Fortune: Ruse de Guerre, The Covenant, and The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare. On top of that, he's already made a sixth (2025's In the Grey) and written and directed multiple episodes of The Gentlemen, a Netflix series he created based on his 2019 film of the same name. After spending 10 years floating through the world of high-budget IP filmmaking, Ritchie has turned himself into his own industry that produces at least one action movie a year.
