Because of Warcraft, of course. What Hollywood learned from that movie is that nobody gives a crap about lore and crap like this will sell like hotcakes in China regardless. Likely implied by the Gobi mention in his statement, they’ll probably shoot it there too to get that sweet China money and spend less on labor.
