It has to be pointed out that the movie statement came two years after chapter 191. If there was such confirmation in that chapter, why going with an unnecessary ambiguity then? So I would take that with a pinch of salt.

In chapter 238, Chandler calls Ban a human and Elizabeth a Goddess. Though they are essentially that, yet they are classified as former human and human respectively. So Cusack referring Merlin as a human doesn't necessarily mean that there isn't more to it; to give an example, it could be something like Ban's case, who wasn't considered "human" just for being inmortal.

Well, essentially what is important here is what we put in the infoboxes; we have to go with only one option. I think there is enough ambiguity to keep "Unknown" for the time time being.
