Below is the movie poster for "Warcraft" posted in the movie's official Twitter account.

The Daily Mail reports that the poster shows two races pitted against each other - the orcish Horde and the human Alliance. The left side is represented by Horde Ogrim (Toby Kebbel) while the champion on the right side is Anduin Lothar (Travis Fimmel). The outlet adds that it will not be a "good-vs-evil" kind of story, two sides will have their own goal and missions that anyone can root for.

According to the film's official website, the story revolves around two warring factions where once could face extinction and the other one destruction.

"The peaceful realm of Azeroth stands on the brink of war as its civilization faces a fearsome race of invaders: orc warriors fleeing their dying home to colonize one another," the story of the film goes. "As a portal opens to connect the two worlds, one army faces destruction and the other faces extinction. From opposing sides, two heroes are set on a collision course that will decide the fate of their family, their people and their home.

"So begins a spectacular saga of power and sacrifice which war has many faces, everyone fights for something."

An upcoming trailer of the movie will be released worldwide on Nov. 6 and Ubergizmo notes that it is the same date that BlizzCon 2015 will start which will be held in Anaheim, California. This suggests that the trailer and maybe more footage may be showed during the con.

The site adds that the movie has already been delayed twice and will finally be released on June 10, 2016. There have been rumors that the movie is the first one of a trilogy as the possibility gives a nod to the three installments of the Warcraft RTS franchises.

According to Cosmic Book News, "Warcraft" will be directed by Duncan Jones with a script written by Charles Leavitt and Duncan Jones. It will be released under Universal Pictures.

The main cast of the movie include:

"Fighting for The Alliance, Warcraft features Dominic Cooper as King Llane Wrynn, Travis Fimmel as Anduin Lothar, Ben Foster as Medivh, Ben Schnetzer as Khadgar, and Ruth Negga as Lady Taria, and on the side of The Horde is also Clancy Brown as Blackhand, Toby Kebbel as Durotan, and Daniel Wu as Gul'Dan, with Paula Patton's Garona caught in the middle."

"Warcraft" will be coming to theaters on June 10.
