I didn't hate the 2016 movie, but I did think it was trying to do too much at once.

So soon? Ugh. I actually like the 2016 movie so this is kind of sad to hear. |

An accompanying rumor suggests that Peter Jackson is in talks to direct. If this was between the LOTR or just after King Kong, I'd be cool with that. But after the Hobbit movies and Mortal Engines, I'd rather if someone else was given a chance.

Raimi left it before they hired Duncan Jones. He had this to say:
"...Robert Rodat was working on the script, and it was taking a long time. I think they were getting a little antsy at Legendary, the production company. Actually, what happened was even more complicated, so let me go back a little bit. First, they asked me if I wanted to make it, and I said, “Yes, I love World of Warcraft, and I think it would make a great picture.” So I read a screenplay they had that was written by the guys at [Warcraft developer] Blizzard, and it didn’t quite work for me. I told them I wanted to make my own original story with Robert, so we pitched it to Legendary and they accepted it, and then we pitched it to Blizzard, and they had reservations, but they accepted it. Then Robert wrote the screenplay, and only once he was done did we realize that Blizzard had veto power, and we didn’t know that. And they had never quite approved the original story we pitched them. Those reservations were their way of saying, “We don’t approve this story, and we want to go a different way,” so after we had spent nine months working on this thing, we basically had to start over. And Robert did start over, but it was taking too long for the people at Blizzard, and their patience ran out. Honestly, I think it was mismanagement on their behalf, not to explain to us that the first story was vetoed long ago. Why did they let us keep working on it? Were they afraid to tell me??"

Blizzard has brass balls, but the whole story itself wasn't really fascinating, only way I see Warcraft working would be as a concisely written quest story, centered on specific figures.,

So now I’m hearing this will be a sequel. I hope it is cause I want to see it continue from the first movie.
