As Duncan Jones explains to SyFy Wire, the first group he had to deal with was Legendary Pictures. The studio shifted affiliations from Warner Bros to Universal, then was sold outright to Chinese company Wanda, all during the production of Warcraft. When the sale happened, halfway through production, it meant seeing half the production staff get replaced. When that happens, you can expect a lot of opinions about the movie to change, meaning Jones had been making a movie to make one group of people happy, then likely had a whole new group of producers that didn’t agree with whatever the first group had said. Welcome to the world of studio politics.
