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!

Taylor Kitsch as Daredevil?

  Will Taylor Kitsch trade in his John Carter loincloth for red leather and horns? Kitsch is reportedly being considered for Director David Slade’s reboot of Daredevil according to Movie Hole. The story is part of their hilarious feature on actors who nearly won super hero roles.

 Kitsch said he would like to play X-Man Gambit again but said it’s unlikely that would happen. The story says Xavier Samuel is under consideration too. Slade directed Samuel as the vampire Riley in The Twilight Saga: Eclipse.

Thanks to Comic Book Resources.

  When I think of David Slade’s film (Hard Candy, 30 Days of Night) I envision a dark and gritty Daredevil movie based on Frank Miller’s Born Again.

  If this report is true the studio seems to be going for a young Matt Murdock reboot like Sony did with Amazing Spider-Man. The tone may be different too. Mark Waid’s new take on Daredevil has been a critical and fan hit. I really love the artwork on the new title – especially this cover.

  Marvel and Chris Evans (Fantastic Four’s Johnny Storm, Captain America)proved you have movie magic twice with the same actor.

While this Daredevil story is just speculation – what do you think of the idea of Taylor Kitsch as Daredevil?

Star Trek Star Wars Truce from Sulu

  The man who played Sulu is acting like Ambassador Sarek with a hilarious twist. The “war” between William Shater and Carrie Fisher over Star Trek Versus Star Wars could be over. Takei urges all sci-fi fans unite to hate “Twilight.” 

George Takei attempts to offer “Star Peace” by sacrificing vamps and werewolves saying “the new ominous threat to science fiction” is “Twilight” he told MSN.  Click to see Ambassador Takei’s plea for “Star Peace!”

 

 And don’t forget: George Takei is coming to Emerald City Comicon in 2012!
