Production has recently wrapped on Legendary Pictures and Universal’s big screen adaptation of Blizzard’s Warcraft series with Moon and Source Code director Duncan Jones at the helm, and even now we still don’t know all that much about the film. Enter Ben Foster, an actor whom you might recognize as Angel from X-Men: The Last Stand and one of the stars of the film. Foster recently spoke with IGN about the adaptation and revealed who he will be playing, and longtime “Warcraft” fans will recognize the name.
“The character in Warcraft that I play is named Medivh. He’s a mage, which is essentially a sorcerer. He came up in a time protecting an area, and the way he protected this area was through magic. As peace returned to this land he took a break. He hung up his staff, so to speak, or let his guns get dusty. We meet him as his friends are returning asking for his help in a battle.”
