Hopefully, this will help you decide if she’s worth the hype.

Travis Fimmel
The uncredited appearance of Glenn Close in Warcraft is a pleasant surprise. She plays the mysterious old mage, Alodi, who is trapped in an artifact in Dalaran. She is described as the Guardian before there was one. As a half-elf, she is more like Medivh’s mother Aegwynn. The movie will make you wonder how she got the part, and whether it was a good idea to cast someone who has been in the genre for so long.
The movie follows the adventures of two heroes on the world of Azeroth. The movie is directed by Duncan Jones and stars Travis Fimmel, Paula Patton, Dominic Cooper, Toby Kebbell, Ben Schnetzer, Clancy Brown, and Ruth Negga. But, while the movie has some flaws, it is a fascinating and well-made film nonetheless.
Paula Patton
The 2016 American action fantasy film Warcraft is based on the video game of the same name. Duncan Jones directed and wrote the movie. Paula Patton and Travis Fimmel star. Dominic Cooper and Toby Kebbell also appear. The film follows Anduin Lothar of Stormwind, Durotan of the Frostwolf clan, and Gul’dan, the leader of the Horde’s invasion of the continent of Azeroth. As these characters struggle to protect their planet from this evil force, they must help the human heroes stop Gul’dan and defeat him before the true evil emerges.
Patton has a long history of playing women of color, including many blockbusters. She’s honed her action chops on Hollywood films alongside Tom Cruise and Denzel Washington, but it didn’t hurt to make this role a bit more unique. In the Warcraft movie, she plays the character of Alodi, an ancient mage locked in an artifact in Dalaran. Alodi is referred to as the Guardian before there was a Guardian. In real life, she was a male half-elf who was the first Guardian of Tirisfal. Despite the role of Alodi, she is much closer to Medivh’s mother Aegwynn, the character who is also known as the shaman, who is the first human to be killed by the or
Ruth Negga
‘Warcraft’ is a fantasy action movie where the human characters fight the orcs. Despite the racial politics of the story, Ruth Negga’s performance offsets those problems. The game aims to flip the usual humans-as-good, beasties-as-bad paradigm. In “Warcraft,” no side is good or bad. Rather, they are all in equal or greater danger.
The characters in Warcraft are pretty standard fantasy movie types, and the actors had to spend a lot of time acting against green screens. The sorcerers have the most interesting roles, and Negga’s performance fits that description well. However, there are several notable exceptions to this rule. In the film, Negga plays Glenn Close’s mother, and she also portrays Medivh’s mother, Aegwynn.
Dylan Schombing
The Warcraft movie trilogy features the actors Ben Schnetzer, Paula Patton, and Dylan Shombing as characters from the game. Other actors in the movie include Travis Fimmel and Paula Patton, who play the roles of the ladies Taria Wrynn and Varian Wrynn. Dylan Schombing is also the principle antagonist, and Toby Kebbell is the mercante of Roccavento. The movie is set in Middle-earth, and features a battle between the two factions, which takes place in a warcraft world.
The film has a lot to offer, from a well-paced character piece to an intellectually nourishing narrative. Warcraft is not about shotgunning characters and a final resolution, but about coming to terms with oneself and countering forces outside of your control. While Game of Thrones might have an illusion of conclusion, Warcraft is more about the battle, the gamesmanship, and the sacrifices that are necessary to get to that point.
Glenn Close
You’ve probably heard about the new movie “Warcraft,” but have you heard about Glenn Close’s cameo? The actress will be playing the role of Alodi, a half-elfven male guardian in the world of the popular fantasy game. In the original “World of Warcraft” series, Close portrayed the title character. Close’s role in the film is not as prominent as her role in the video games.
The film follows the story of the first World of Warcraft: the expansion, and a young sorcerer enters a black gooey CGI cube, where he encounters an anthropomorphized supernatural force. This being is similar to Glenn Close, but when solidified, it looks and sounds like her character. The supernatural force bestows magic on the young sorcerer. The film is set in the World of Warcraft, and it is expected to be released in July.
