Interesting X-Men Casting News!

ryanr.jpg

Hugh Jackman is reprising his role in the new X-Men Origins: Wolverine film, and he's going to have some very interesting actors joining him in the flick.

Both Ryan Reynolds and Black Eyed Peas rapper Will.I.Am have been announced as characters in the movie, though no word on who they will be playing just yet.

Liev Schreiber, Danny Huston and Lynn Collins round out the cast as Sabretooth, William Stryker and Silver Fox, respectively.

Three peeps have been added to the cast.

That's an interesting mix.

Who do you think Ryan could play????

Update:

Ryan Reynolds is set to play Deadpool, "Friday Night Lights" regular Taylor Kitsch to star as Gambit and will.i.am is joining the cast as John Wraith.

      Will is playing John Wraith and Ryan is playing Deadpool a Canadian mercenary both are said to be cameos…figured Perez would be more stoked over Friday Night Lights' Taylor Kitsch playing Gambit with a signed deal for three movies playing the character.

      What, no!!!!!! Not Gambit….I thought Josh Holloway (Sawyer from Lost) was the fave to play Gambit

      I think the perfect fit shoud be playing Deadpool.He's really handsome. I saw his nice profile on ”sugardaddychat.

      com ” last week. The profile is sincere and hot with nice photos.

      He's very popular there.

      hopefully he will play naked man who has a graphic sex scene (with oral and anal penetration) with hugh jackman. that'd be a lot better than watching an x-men movie

      wow, no idea perez liked X-MEN. this is the last place i thought i'd get nerdy. fact: hugh jackman is hot, wolverine made his career, and he's got a great future ahead. fact: taylor kitsch is gambit, he'll be effing sexy. fact: ryan reynolds is deadpool, but his mutant power makes him fugly, so no ogling. opinion: this prequel horseshit pisses me off. don't the studios know what a success those movies were? yes, they get more costly, but if everyone got a flat rate and a profit percentage, they could tell stories that wouldn't need only x-men 2 level effects with some good character and plot development that still blows up real good. they'd make money if they were half decent. some x-men i'd like to see: havok, polaris, banshee, sunfire, thunderbird, phoenix (rachel summers), dazzler, longshot, forge, and cable. for villains: mastermind, proteus, or mister sinister would be radical. also: quicksilver and the scarlet witch would be nifty, although they'll be in an avengers movie even if they're magneto's kids. movie storylines: x-men 4 (days of future past); x-men 5 (morlock massacre); x-men 6 (fall of the mutants). never happen: a "new mutants" movie (i love the 80s!), but that's just fantasy. anyone know an actor to play havok? oh well, let's get back to nude lindsay and how milo is too old for hayden. btw, great divas show, perez! how you got all those stars, i've got no idea, but you're a real man now!

      he could play "Giant Forehead Man" and he could blind people by reflecting light off of his monstrous dome.

      225

      he'll play deadpool. it's perfect really. as we all saw in blade trinity the boy can beef up and deadpool is hysterically funny in a psychotic way so that'll be great!

      now i have to have a fangirl moment *Squeals* they're finally putting gambit in the film!! YAH! after 2 false alarms this is looking very very very promising. i haven't been this excited since i heard they were making a transformers film *say what you like i enjoyed it*

      226

      Re: jenbunny

      i totally agree with you. last place i also thought i'd get my nerd on. here's what i'm a lil' confused about. would gambit be introduced because of his connection with sabertooth like in the comics….or will hollywood create a reason?

    27. Bring Sheena Easton back! says – reply to this


      227

      I was a little worried about the "X-Men Origins" idea, but now I'm excited! Sounds great! Especially if they have 2 uber-hoy guys like Hugh AND Ryan shirtless. Now I hope they somehow incorporate a 69 scene between the two of them into the film!

      This is where I draw the line at Hollywood. The only person who I thought was cool has become a sell out. Scarlett Johanson and her uneducated big titted enthuthiasm for anyone who is concieved of a little bit left of centre - whoo a nose ring like a bull… she is so crazy. And now she can sing apparently??? Out of control! and YOU….who I thought had some kind of soul has leant it to the dark side along with your patheitic peers ie: Josh Duhamel ( I now put you in the same boat) Not that you would care at all about any of this anymore. Don some more lame arse chick flicks and live off your girlfriends titts….
