World of Warcraft Movie Might Get a Sequel Featuring "The Lich King"

When asked by Gizmodo about what other World of Warcraft stories he is hoping to tell, Duncan Jones answered back that he would love to have a sequel which is set in a larger Warcraft universe. 

Specifically, he wants to do a sequel which involves the rise and fall of a human paladin named Arthas into one of Warcraft’s most iconic villains, the Lich King. "I would love to see Lich King. You know, I would love to see these other things. I would love to see someone else tell those stories so that I could watch them as a fan.", Jones noted.

However, Jones didn't confirmed just yet that they'll jump into making the Lich King sequel. "Chris Benson and I have discussed in very loose term what the trilogy will be. We all want to relax after this film. It took three-and-a-half years. And we’ll kind of get back into it if people like this film enough to warrant us having the chance to make a few more.," he noted. 

Also, we should take to consideration about funding. A movie like this doesn't come cheap and probably a sequel will be more expensive. As we all know, the World of Warcraft movie received a lot of criticism, both from WoW fanatics and people who just want to see a good fantasy film. Although it may be performing well in other parts of the world but, we can't deny the fact that it's not selling that well for now. Just think of this, who will fund a sequel for this movie if people don't have a good feedback about it. Movie makers just don't do movies, they do movies also for the profit.

For now, let's just hope we'll see a new World of Warcraft movie in the future. And I just hope that it would be better than the present WoW movie.
