With Duncan Jones’ WARCRAFT now in production, plot details have been kept relatively secret. Speaking to IGN, Ben Foster has revealed some story details and just who he’ll be playing.

The actor, likely best known to genre fans for playing Angel in X-MEN: THE LAST STAND, revealed that he’ll be playing the sorcerer Medivh, who uses his powers to fight the agents of the Burning Legion. He said, “Medivh 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. We meet him as his friends are returning asking for his help in a battle. What’s exciting about Duncan Jones’ take on this video game is that is shows both sides of the war. It’s not just a video game turned into a movie. It’s asking, hopefully, an important question of where do we limit our compassion for what we consider to be the bad guys?”

As well as Foster, Jones’ film will also feature Colin Farrell, Paula Patton, Paul Dano, Travis Fimmel, Anton Yelchin, and Toby Kebbell. At present, WARCRAFT is set for an 11th March, 2016 release.
