"Joseph Fiennes has suggested that Merlin may not be portrayed as a hero in upcoming Starz fantasy drama Camelot. The actor told Collider that there is a &amp;quot;duality&amp;quot; to his role as the famous wizard. &amp;quot;I think [his allegiance] is up for interpretation,&amp;quot; he claimed. &amp;quot;Essentially, he&amp;#039;s for the good, but he fights fire with fire. He drives out a nail with another nail. He doesn&amp;#039;t turn the other cheek.&amp;quot; Fiennes added that his portrayal of the character would be &amp;quot;Machiavellian&amp;quot;. &amp;quot;I don&amp;#039;t think Merlin is a villain, but I think he&amp;#039;s complex and far from driven snow,&amp;quot; he explained. &amp;quot;He&amp;#039;s brilliant at getting the people to believe what he thinks they should believe, to coerce them into a vote which carries forward what he wants to happen.&amp;quot; Showrunner Chris Chiball previously revealed that he had planned &amp;quot;multiple seasons&amp;quot; of Camelot. The series is expected to premiere on Starz in early 2011 and will air on Channel 4 in the UK later in the year.` "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
