Universal Pictures and Legendary Pictures have revealed the teaser posters for their highly anticipated big-screen adaptation of “Warcraft.” The one-sheets implore the viewer to either “Fight for the Alliance” or “Fight for the Horde.”
Along with the revelation, the studios have also confirmed the characters assigned to previously-announced castmembers.
