Apparently the Warcraft movie 'isn't just for fans'

Ben Schnetzer is one of the rising stars of cinema, set to appear in upcoming film Warcraft.

The movie is based on the cult classic video game World of Warcraft - which, with 100 million global players over 244 countries and territories (not to mention its own South Park episode) is pretty solid movie real estate.

He insists the movie, directed by Duncan Jones, isn't just one for fans of the franchise, but offers something for everyone.

As well as Warcraft, Ben's set to appear in The Riot Club, as well as Pride, which is in cinemas from September 12.

He was speaking to Newsbeat reporter Natalie Jamieson.
