Duncan Jones’ Warcraft is sadly over a year away, but we’re now finally getting a glimpse of how far the film is pushing visual effects. Wired has released the first Warcraft image, and rather than the human actors, it provides a close-up on the orc Orgrim (Robert Kazinsky). Per the official description, “Orgrim is Durotan’s right hand and a brave warrior destined to wield the Doomhammer: a weapon of orc legend.” (Durotan, played by Toby Kebbell, is the lead protagonist of the Horde and fighting to protect his people from extinction.)

According to Wired, Industrial Light and Magic took concept art from Blizzard Entertainment—the video game company behind Warcraft—and merged it with photos and scans of Kazinsky. That’s almost a cruel oversimplification considering how fantastic Orgrim looks:

 

“We’ve gone beyond the point where these are just creatures in movies,” Jones says. “We now have the technology and the ability to make new characters entirely.”

That’s the big difference between Orgrim and a character like the Hulk. Aside from the fact that the Hulk has been evolving on screen since 2003, Warcraft is creating characters from scratch, or at least characters who don’t have a huge, built-in fanbase. People love Warcraft as a video game series, but it’s going to take work to make them love the new characters within Jones’ Warcraft. With effects as good as this, he’s clearly moving in the right direction.

Warcraft opens June 10, 2016, and also stars Travis Fimmel, Dominic Cooper, Ben Foster, Ben Schnetzer, Ruth Negga, Paula Patton, Clancy Brown, and Daniel Wu.
