Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment has announced that British actor Simon Pegg (Star Trek, Shaun of the Dead) will be lending his voice to Phineas Nigellus Black in the upcoming Hogwarts Legacy.
Black is apparently the least popular Headmaster in the whole history of Hogwarts, and Pegg himself reckons he’s not actually all the good at his job, either.

He is sort of pompous, disinterested. He’s not a good teacher of Headmaster in any way. I think he would have taken on the role of Headmaster because of the gig, you know? It’s a prestigious position.
I don’t think he has any interest in children’s education, or being in any a role model. It’s not really his concern. What he wants is the kudos of being the Headmaster of the greatest wizarding school in the world. He’s just a bit of an idiot, really.
Hogwarts Legacy is scheduled for release on February 10, 2023 for PS5, PC and Xbox Series X/S, with a PS4 and Xbox One version arriving in April. Finally, the Nintendo Switch edition will be released in Summer 2023.
