Duncan Jones' Warcraft movie has Ben Foster in a key, magical role. Here are some details...
In our current X-Men obsessed news cycle, you might remember Ben Foster as Angel in X-Men: The Last Stand. More recently, he's been seen in Lone Survivor. But soon, you'll be seeing him playing a magical role in Duncan Jones'Warcraftmovie. Here's what Mr. Foster told IGNabout the character:
"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."
Foster goes on to say that the Warcraftmovie is "not just a video game turned into a movie" and that it asks "an important question...where do we limit our compassion for what we consider to be bad guys?" Weighty subjects, to be sure.
Warcraftalso stars Paula Patton, Clancy Brown, Dominic Cooper, Toby Kebbell, and Felicity Jones. It hits theaters on March 11, 2016.
