Fans of the upcoming Hollywood epic fantasy movie, and of course, Daniel Wu, have been waiting on the edge of their seats to see what the Hong Kong-based American actor's character looks like.

Universal Studies released an extended trailer for the film in November, and while many of the main characters were revealed, fans were saddened when they did not see a glimpse of the sinister orc warclord, Gul'dan, played by Wu.

Fortunately, a new 30-second trailer for "Warcraft," a live-action adaptation of the popular video game series of the same name, has just been released on Monday and a shot of the actor's character can finally be seen. The daunting bearded villain is far from the actor's typical clean-cut persona.


Warcraft tells the story of the conflict between humans living in Azeroth and orc warriors from Draenor, who are threatened with extinction and how the two species struggle to protect their own. The film was shot in 2014.

Talking about the film in a previous interview with Den of Geek, Wu boasted and described the graphic effects of Warcraft" as topnotch. He revealed that he has seen an almost complete version of the movie and said that the level of detail is extraordinary. As an example, he shared that all of the orcs in the movie look extremely real as they all have visible pores in their skin, as well as "moisture in their eyes."

Warcraft is directed by Duncan Jones, whom Wu spoke extremely highly of and commended on how well he envisioned and told the story. Wu stars alongsidePaula Patton, Travis Fimmel, Dominic Cooper, and Ben Fosters.

According to Jayne Stars, the Mainland China release is expected to follow shortly after it premieres in North America on June 10, 2016.
