'Warcraft' Spoilers: Daniel Wu as an Orc?
Star of the upcoming "Warcraft" movie shared some details about the process of filming his character.
According to Den of Geek, Daniel Wu was able to share some details about the upcoming film. Since the release of the film's official trailer, fans were perplexed when they did not see Wu in any of the scenes or posters of the film.
During his interview, Wu was able to explain as to why this is the case. He explained that fans will not be able to see his face throughout the whole film because he is portraying the role of an orc named Guldan. This means that his performance was made through motion capture, which transformed his body into a large green creature.

He also explained that he struggled with the role because he had to learn how to behave like an orc. This includes breathing, walking, and talking. In addition, he also learned how to fight like an orc, which proved to be a different style than what he is used to.
He stated, "I fight in motion capture but very different than how I fight in 'Badlands.' He's an orc monster so I had to learn how to fight like that, as well as learn how to move and walk and breathe and talk like an orc. That was a major part of the training for that movie."
However, he assured fans that the graphics for the upcoming film were made to impress. He stated, "I've seen a 95% completed version of the movie and just looking at the level of detail that they can render now, the orc I play or any of the orcs in fact, you can see the pores in their skin and you can see the moisture in their eyes. Especially when there's an emotional scene, all those emotions come through now."
"Warcraft" is expected to release in theaters this June 2016.
