  1. Uh, no, he's not at all. What got Arthas in common with Sauron? Arthas is more like a Ring Ghost. A human who fell for a higher power, got corrupted and is now going after the living. Sauron would never have a moment like "Is it over, father?" because all he did was 100% his own choice and goal. Arthas is a kid who was unlucky and weak enough to fall for temptation and manipulation, leading him onto a path of (self)destruction. Overall: that makes him more interesting than Sauron - or such fucked up Super HItler shit like Hydaelyn in FF14.

  2. That more sounds super greedy to make as much money as possible, you know like those fuckers who take a book that is barely enough for 1 movie and make 2-3 out of it... You got enough story when you do Arthas -> Lich King in one movie. And then another with his fall - what should include his fate when he was condemned by his teacher he had murdered - and end as a weapon himself. Should not even go to the point in which the last bit of his soul fades, because at this point he's alread gone anyway, as it was said, it's just a last fragment and flicker of his spiriti, not himself and it's the story of other peopel, even though interlinked, but the way there would too complex to just squeeze in. For Arthas his story ends when he is grabbed by his former teacher, now an angel of death and just thrown in (hateful?) revenge into hell, where he is tortured to death and forged into a blade. That would work well as movie, because you would have those two blades. One which started his story and downfall - and one that makes his end. Even for people who don't know the whole background it would be obvious enough, especially since you would need Nerzhul somewhere in the first part and should show how he was also forged into a weapon. You could add Zovaal to it when Kingsmourne is forged, that he won't make the mistake his minions did, by letting any own will alive in the blade... It's the best Arthas can hope for after all he had done, to be seen as a victim, too , beside being an HItler of the Undead.
