The official Warcraft Movie Weibo account (Chinese version of Twitter) strongly hinted that a sequel was likely to be made, though there has been no official word as to whether a Warcraft 2 will ever be filmed.
The story has as its core the events leading up to and including those played through in Warcraft: Orcs & Humans, the very first game in the Warcraft franchise. It focuses on the characters of Durotan - a noble orc trying to escape his dying world, protecting his family, and watching in horror as his kin succumb to the temptation offered by Gul'dan...

Reception of the film by professional critics was largely negative, with most reviews being below average. As of the worldwide premiere on May 25, 2016, Metacritic gave the movie 32/100 and Rotten Tomatoes gave it 38%, but with less than 10 reviews counted at that point. After the US premiere, Metacritic had declined slightly to 31/100 and Rotten Tomatoes had declined dramatically to 18%. Despite being a critical failure (primarily in the US and UK), regular viewers generally responded more positively in international markets by propelling it to number 1 for its opening weekend in 19 of 20 overseas markets. It appeared to be very popular in China by setting pre-sales records and setting the record for widest release ever of any movie, beating the previous champion, Furious 7.
It is important to note that while the movie's reception by critics has been abysmal in the United States, the user reviews after the first weekend (8.5+/10 on Metacritic and 80%+ on Rotten Tomatoes) have been generally good. As such, the critics do not seem to be representing the users.
