Today IGN had an interview with John Hight from Blizzard. John Hight is a gaming industry veteran who has served as the head of the Warcraft franchise since 2021.
The publication asked Hight if the company had any plans for new Warcraft films, and it turned out that Blizzard was not at all against creating new Warcraft films. Hight said he liked the 2016 film and would like to see more Warcraft films - the company is open to new proposals.
The main stumbling block is that, according to Hight, Blizzard should not get involved in film production, since the company, like himself, does not understand anything about it - everyone should mind their own business.
"We make games, and I think games will always be our core. I don't want to fall into the trap of, 'Now I'm going to be the director.' , we need to find talent in other fields who share the love and passion for Warcraft. Unfortunately, I have seen that often directors view a film adaptation of some intellectual property as their own opportunity to enter the film business. There are dozens, if not hundreds of such films that could have been made much better. I wouldn't let someone who only makes movies come in and try to make a game like Warcraft, right? So I think finding the right partnership is the right approach.
Of course, I'm open to proposals, especially from people who really understand the universe and have a cool idea about how to express Warcraft through the screen. I think that if we found the right situation, the right partner who understood the game genres, then it would be perfect for us." - said Height
Thus, the company is not at all averse to making a new Warcraft movie, but, apparently, finding the right people to create the film may take time.
