Now, Zhao has teamed up with Blizzard to make a live-action trailer forDiablo 4. Though only a minute long, this commercial blazes through each of thefive playable classes inDiablo 4, showcasing some of their most iconic spells and abilities in a new light. All throughout, the innocent citizens of Sanctuary plead with the viewer to save them while demons swarm about, threatening to plunge the world into chaos. The trailer ends with a stunning image of Lilith, who looks as if she had stepped straight out of the game itself.
Interestingly enough, this is not the first timeDiabloand Marvel have crossed paths. Last September,Diablo 2 Resurrectedgot a live-action trailer featuring Simu Liu, the star of Marvel’sShang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings. The grim commercial cast Liu as a stand-in for the protagonist ofDiablo 2, and did an excellent job of teasing the remake’s release.

Few expected to see a glimpse ofDiablo 4in live-action, and fewer still suspected an award-winning director like Zhao would be involved. Players couldn’t decide which of the classes had the coolest cameo in the trailer, but most agreed thata full-lengthDiablomovieor TV series in this style would be incredible.
