There’s been growing buzz in Hollywood that a sequel to the 2016 fantasy epic Warcraft might be on the horizon, with none other than Henry Cavill potentially stepping into a leading role. The actor, known for his deep love of gaming and fantasy franchises, has been linked to the rumored project, sparking excitement among fans of both the Warcraft universe and Cavill’s work.

The original Warcraft film, directed by Duncan Jones, brought Blizzard Entertainment’s iconic game franchise to life, immersing viewers in the sprawling conflict between orcs and humans. While the movie received mixed reviews, it was a massive hit in international markets, particularly in China, earning over $430 million globally. Now, rumors suggest that Legendary Pictures is revisiting the world of Azeroth for a sequel, hoping to expand on its ambitious world-building and appeal to a wider audience.

Henry Cavill, an avid gamer and vocal World of Warcraft fan, has long expressed admiration for the franchise. Known for his dedication to roles like Geralt of Rivia in Netflix’s The Witcher, Cavill’s potential involvement in Warcraft 2 has fans speculating about who he might portray. Online chatter points to him taking on the role of Anduin Lothar, the valiant knight of Stormwind, or perhaps a new character created specifically for the sequel.
