Thanks to BlizzCon, its finally herethe first official full-length trailer for Legendary PicturesWarcraftmovie.
That means we wont be seeing any Night Elves or Trolls or Tauren, unfortunately.
But hey, theres always room for sequels.
We begin with a gryphon and two riders flying towards a magical tower and city.
Kind of looks like Karazhan as depicted during its prime, no?
Lothar speaks of dark forces and an and to Azeroths peaceful times.
We quickly find ourselves in Stormwind Keep.
A shot of a forestElwynn forest, presumablyis then shown.
A group of Stormwind soldiers are taken by surprise by a band of ferocious, green Orcs.
King Llane I (Dominic Cooper) tells Lothar to find these beasts or whatever they are.
Its time to visit the other side.
Not all Orcs are out for blood.
The Orcs are shown walking through war-torn fields with their belongings past rows of ragged Horde banners.
A final green flash bathes the screenthe opening of the Dark Portal and an escape to freedom.
Freedom isnt the only thing awaiting the Frostwolf orcs in Azeroth, of course.
Durotan and Orgrim Doomhammer (Rob Kazinsky) are shown surveying the wilds of this new, strange world.
We can see the snowy mountain peaks in the distance.
Durotan and Draka (Anna Galvin) agree that they must make Azeroth their new home whatever happens.
Durotan holds up his tiny, newborn son.
Aww, look at the adorable baby Thrall/Goel.
This little green guy is going to have plenty of screen time in later movies.
A resolute, Orc-ish figure appears, speaking of compromise.
Garona Halforcen (Paula Patton).
She speaks of Durotan, and tells the humans that he can help them unite the races of Azeroth.
It is here that Durotan and Lothar meet.
Lothar is accompanied by Garona.
A shot of Dalaran from gryphon-back is now seen.
King Llane questions whether or not if the humans can trust the Frostwolf Orcs.
They are beaststhey should all be destroyed, a voice replies.
and her being consoled by Lothar.
Lothar speaks of saving their kingdom.
These two definitely seem to be working closely together at this point.
An interesting shot outside Stormwind Cathedral can be seen here.
Lothar and Lady Taria stand in front of a coffin.
King Llane also seems to be absent.
Is that him inside the coffin?
More shots of war are seen.
An elder Orc takes control of the voice over at this point.
This very well may be Nerzhul.
He speaks of his intense dissatisfaction with the fact that Durotan has sided with the Alliance races.
The trailer ends with a pretty cool shot of Lothar making an attack from the back of a gryphon.
Are the Frostwolves with or against the armies of Stormwind at this point?
This is essentially where that conflict is born.
