Legendary Pictures has pushed the release of its two films "Warcraft" and "Pacific Rim 2".

Duncan Jones' "Warcraft" is pushed ahead from March 11, 2016 to June 10, 2016, while Guillermo del Toro's "Pacific Rim 2" release has been shifted from April 7, 2017 to August 4 in the same year, reports aceshowbiz.com.

Based on Blizzard's popular video game, "Warcraft" stars Dominic Cooper, Ben Foster, Paula Patton, and Clancy Brown among others. The movie will feature the members of The Alliance and The Horde, and it will be told from the Alliance perspective.

Meanwhile, the "Pacific Rim" sequel will take place a few years after the first one. Scripted by del Toro and Zak Penn, it will center on the aftermath of the Kaiju war and fate of the Jaeger. Charlie Day and Burn Gormn are expected to return as Dr. Newton Geiszler and Dr. Hermann Gottlieb, respectively.
