Fans at Hall H reacted positively to this trailer at Comic Con, so we’ll have to wait and see how everyone else reacts to the first footage.
Warcraftwill hit theaters on August 18, 2025, where it will go up against a pair of sequels, Lionsgate’sNow You See Me 2: The Second Actand Warner Bros.‘The Conjuring: The Enfield Poltergeist.
