Really Knows' if Warcraft 2 Will Happen

Director Duncan Jones doesn't know if Warcraft 2 will ever happen. Legendary looked to bring the popular MMORPG to the big screen in 2016. Thanks to the game's huge fanbase, there was hope that the millions of players would generate a big box office haul. The movie wound up getting largely negative reviews as Warcraft struggled to give the characters real depth while introducing the massive world the potential franchise would have to offer.

Despite the critics not liking it, Warcraft still found an audience, albeit one largely overseas. The first film made less than $50 million domestically, but China turned out in big numbers to see it, inflating the international box office to nearly $390M. For a movie that cost $160M to make not including marketing, Legendary likely didn't turn a profit. That may just be why the chances of a sequel don't appear to be too great.
