BHGv8ktCYAAlKy3.jpg largeDid director Bryan Singer reveal a first look at Beast from X-Men: Days of Future Past via Twitter? The director’s feed has been THE source for casting announcements and photos from the set.

This picture was accompanied by this quote:

“Many a monster wears the form of a man; it is better of the two to have the heart of a man & the form of a monster”

This could be a makeup test.

Nicholas Hoult will reprise his role as the younger Henry McCoy in the prequel/sequel that unites actors from X-Men: First Class and the original X-Men trilogy. The story is set Continue reading Is This Beast from X-MEN DAYS OF FUTURE PAST

Director Bryan Singer revealed Daniel Cudmore will return as Colossus in X-Men: Days of Future Past. The director also revealed Boo Boo Stewart and Fan BingBing have joined the cast via Twitter.

Cudmore played the X-Man who can transform his body into organic steel in X2: X-Men United and X3: The Last Stand. Cudmore played a role in The Twilight Saga. In the classic comic book storyline the film is based on Colossus married Kitty Pryde. In the films Kitty was part of a romantic triangle with Iceman (Shawn Ashmore) and Rogue (Anna Paquin.)

It was revealed earlier that BingBing will play Blink. No word on which character Stewart will play but when I saw his picture my brain jumped to (young Nightcrawler, the original Thunderbird- John Proudstar, or his brother Warparth – James Proudstar)

The director’s Tweet showed the cast list and mentioned the awards among the cast and ended with “now let’s blow —- up!”

Looks like we’ll see a famous Colossus/Wolverine fastball special in the next film!

Blink is a teleporter created in Uncanny X-Men #317 and just when you thought Clarice Ferguson would go on to be part of Generation X but she died in the Phalanx Covenant storyline.

 

I’ve often said Blink is the James Dean of X-Men. Clarice was immediately popular but was killed off Continue reading Blink in X-MEN: DAYS OF FUTURE PAST

Director Bryan Singer revealed via Twitter that The Intouchables star Omar Sy has joined the cast of X-Men: Day of Future Past.

No word on Sy’s role and I’m scratching my head about which character Sy could portray! (Nimrod the Super Sentinel?)

The French actor and Peter Dinklage (who plays the villain) are the new actors joining the X-Men family. Casts of the first trilogy and X-Men: First Class will star in the film based on the classic story by Chris Claremont. (I met him this weekend at Emerald City Comicon!)
