In the first Warcraft movie we saw how the orcs came to Azeroth after Gul’Dan wants to escape their dying world. He opens the dark portal to Azeroth and the Orcs move through, causing a war to erupt between the humans and orcs. The movie was helmed by Duncan Jones, who also co-wrote it together with Charles Leavitt.

The movie was a bit of a box office disappointment in the west, earning only $47,4 million in the US, while earning $439 million world wide thanks to the Chinese audience. It seems that the Chinese audience are a big part that Legendary is giving Warcraft a second movie.
