Rumour: Johnny Depp to star in new Warcraft movie

[crunk]

What if the movie just ends up being Johnny Depp and 2 other Actors/Actresses dressed up as an Orc, Night Elf, and Human, stranded on an island set in the Warcraft Universe, sitting around and talking about their problems.

they could call it Warcraft: Revenge of the Forum Nerds

[Wildtree]

That is wild speculation, nothing more. The site is misrepresenting the facts.

hence why I said it seems

Uhh, Triple H as Arthas? What the fuck is the guy thinking, is he on drugs or something? Talking about the hypothetical casting list btw.

Probably influenced by this:

Johnny Depp could play Medivh. But that said, I don't believe he will present in World of Warcraft. It is just too soon and wishful thinking...

Stressing again, it's not a WORLD OF Warcraft movie, but simply a WARCRAFT movie, happening when Varian and Garrosh were just babies, the first thing that came to my mind was that. Johnny Depp would be cast as Medvih. Or his father, Nielas Aran.

[Zeek Daniels]

I think Depp being in the film will get the film alot more attention. You need to have some famous actors in the movie, and Depp has a big following.

Am I the only one who really wants Michael Fassbender in this.

I mean, I'm not saying I'd go gay for him.

But..I'd go gay for him.

Well at least there will be no pandas. I would just crack up if the movie focused on MoP.

[Kalcheus]

Well at least there will be no pandas.

Why couldn't there be?

Donal Logue* as ... Chen Stormstout!


*Under some serious makeup and costume work

Garrosh was most certainly not a baby.

[Jawless Jones]

or his father, nielas aran.

my son! Hes gone ma-a-a-d

[Tomana]

By all that is holy, please no.

[Kalcheus]

Garrosh was most certainly not a baby.

He's older than Thrall!

But if they go with the Rise of the Horde/Opening of the Dark Portal era ... I have no idea what Garrosh would be if he was even born yet because the 1st/2nd war timeline always confuses me.

i dont car whos in it, ill still go see it

[Buu]

Neither Forsaken, or worgens, or goblins, or taurens, or night elves.

Probably no Gnomes too.

Surely Humans, Dwarves and Orcs and Ogres. great chance of "cameos" of trolls and high elves.

I can see Depp play as Medvih extreamely well for sure, even Keal'thuzad, now that I think of it, he fits pretty damn well with the ''fantasy theme'' of Warcraft. Intrested to see if he makes it. I hope so, <3 Depp.

[Slaughty8]

Deep? He doesn't fit anywhere besides Kael'thas maybe and Medvih, bust still, Hugo Weaving fits better for blood elves. Also, there is only one person fitting Arthas, Peter Steele from Type O Negative (RIP). I wanna see Arthas!

Now...who is gonna fit Illidan?

[SpaceDuck]

i hope Depp plays captain placeholder, that would be amazing!

[Kalcheus]

Deep? He doesn't fit anywhere besides Kael'thas maybe and Medvih, bust still, Hugo Weaving fits better for blood elves.

I think Hugo Weaving works better as Kel'thuzad

Ryan Gosling as Kael'thas

Again, you probably will only see baby Arthas and Illidan is nowhere to be seem because he is locked in a underground cell by the time.

[Kelimbror]

Though this thread is full on ridiculous, if they are smart they will have a trilogy that retells the story of Arthas. It's the easiest story to tell and connect with for even audiences that aren't familiar with the lore. If those three do well they can go back and do the whole well of eternity and illidan business.

Really their best stories have already been told, they need to just translate those to the screen.

[Slaughty8]

Then what is gonna be on this movie? No Arthas/Illidan no watching! I am serious! Not interested in the rest of the lore:P The rest of the lore is boooooooooooring and dull. Those two are the only "complicated" characters.

I think Hugo Weaving works better as Kel'thuzad

Ryan Gosling as Kael'thas

True! I forgot about Gosling! Now, time to seek Tyrande, my bet? Eve Evangeline (imagines her in elf's skin color + tattos, aww)
