In the IGN Interview, Foster says:
“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 also talked about what to expect in the movie
“What’s exciting about Duncan Jones’ take on this video game is that it shows both sides of the war. It shows both sides of a conflict, which is exciting to me. 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?”

Also starring Paula Patton, Travis Fimmel, Dominic Cooper, Toby Kebbell, Rob Kazinsky, Daniel Wu, and Clancy Brown, Warcraft opens in 2D and 3D on March 11, 2016.
