A couple of weeks ago, the twittersphere was aflutter with exciting news about the Warcraft movie. Earlier today Duncan Jones shared an article which revealed the names of two more actors.
Clancy Brown
Gooood morning all! I've got CLANCY FRIGGIN BROWN in Warcraft! I have to say it…. "There can be only one!"

He’s definitely one of the more recognisable faces from the cast right now, most recently seen in TV’s Sleepy Hollow but after looking at his impressive list of acting credits, I didn’t realise he voiced so many animated TV series and video games. His voice roles include Thrall in the cancelled video game Warcraft Adventures: Lord of the Clans and Scourgelord Tyrannus in World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King.
Daniel Wu

Looking at his list of films, I’ve only seen Around the World in 80 Days which was back in 2004 so it looks like I’ll need to watch something a lot more recent like Europa Report or Tai Chi Hero (as seen from the image above). It makes me wonder if he’ll play a Pandaren although I’m not sure they’re in the movie.
Still no info on what roles they’ll play.

eeeeeeeee! You are my go-to reporter for all things Warcraft movie related! I don’t know why this excites me just as much as the next expansion.

I’m glad someone else is just as excited as I am.

I have no clue how I recognized his name but as soon as I saw Clancy Brown in the original release (without a photo) my immediate reaction was “MEDIC!!”
It’s amazing the stuff that you know without even realizing it…

I can’t say I’ve recognised any of their names from the releases which is why I like to look them up. I’m usually the one that calls out voices to names in animated movies though :)
