Today at Blizzard Entertainment's BlizzCon gaming convention in Anaheim, CA, Legendary Pictures, Atlas Entertainment Blizzard Entertainment, and distribution partner Universal Pictures held a panel for Warcraft fans in support of the feature film that will appear in theaters on March 11, 2016.

The panel marks Warcraft director Duncan Jones's second appearance at the show, honoring his promise to "show a lot more next year" at BlizzCon 2013. Legendary held its first movie panel at BlizzCon in 2007, when producers Thomas Tull and Jon Jashni discussed the initial plans for bringing Blizzard's world to the big screen, and today's panel continues that tradition of giving the dedicated Warcraft fans first access to information and images related to the film.

The full slate of Warcraft movie characters was also revealed with Actor Robert Kazinsky in attendance. His character, Orgrim, from the Warcraft feature film was revealed today along with the names of the other characters that each member of the film's principal cast will play.
