When “Warcraft” first released, it flopped domestically, barely making $50 million stateside on a reported budget of $160 million. It did, however, make a considerable chunk of change in foreign markets, pulling in $391 million, mostly from China. With financial receipts failing to hit the breaking point, director Duncan Jones took to X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, to make it clear that a “Warcraft” sequel was unlikely. Since then, rumblings have suggested that Blizzard and Legendary are interested in taking another stab at adapting the franchise (whether that be a sequel or reboot), though nothing concrete has been confirmed.
As for Henry Cavill’s association — nothing has been announced or suggested, though the British actor would be a solid choice for a future project. Cavill missed his first Superman casting call because he was so busy playing the video game. It would be interesting for the star to step into the franchise, as he has tons of love and admiration for the video games. However, following his departure from Netflix’s “The Witcher,” Cavill has his eyes set on an out-of-this-world project.
Back in 2022, it was reported that Cavill had signed onto Amazon Prime’s “Warhammer 40,000” adaptation — another property beloved by the “Argylle” star. Though neither plot nor production details have emerged, Cavill is expected to both star in and executive produce the series based on the tabletop miniature game. He’s previously labeled an adaptation as his dream project, so it would make sense if he is indeed currently occupying himself with that.
