X - Men Origins: Wolverine Update..
The cast is near completion, at least we hope, and a couple more mutants is posed to join the cast of Fox’s X - Men Origins: Wolverine..
With most of the mutants, they get some funky superpower mutation and look cool - whether they can hide it until they need it, like Wolverine, or whether it just results in some super - sexy white hair like Rogue.. Then, you get mutants like Beak..
Former Lost and LOTR star Dominic Monaghan will play Barnell Bohusk ( Aka Beak, aka Blackwing )..
In the comics, Blackwing was originally a mutant known as Beak who had the ability to transform into a humanoid bird, with a beaked face, bulbous eyes, wing - like arms, double - jointed knees and talons on his hands.. In his transformed state, he also possessed heightened senses and enhanced agility..
Black Eyed Peas singer will.i.am will make his big screen debut in X - Men Origins: Wolverine.. Will.i.am, whose real name is William Adams, will play Wraith, a mutant with the power to turn himself translucent / invisible.. A mutant with teleportation powers and a thing for explosives who, in comic canon, belonged to Team X..
Daniel Henney will take on the role of David North ( Aka Agent Zero), an expert tracker with lethal marksman skills..
Fueled by the betrayal, Nord became one of the most efficient covert operatives in Germany.. In the 1960’s, his exploits caught the attention of the CIA, who offered him a spot in the clandestine Team X.. He agreed, and at this time, changed his name to David North.. As a part of Team X, he was one of several mutant operatives the government experimented on and utilized.. Each member unknowingly received false memory implants, and North received an aging suppressant culled from Logan’s mutant healing factor..
With North being casted, the Weapons X Team is now complete.. Team X consisted of three field agents: Logan ( Who later became Wolverine ), North ( Who later became Agent Zero )and Victor Creed ( Who later became Sabretooth )..
A source, stunt person working on the movie, provided some inside information.. She couldn’t tell us who she was doubling for, since the actress hasn’t officially been named yet, but apparently Kate Newman is the closest thing to the lead actress for X - Men Origins: Wolverine, serving as the unnamed actress’s double.. Newman revealed a few tidbits from the upcoming blockbuster prequel to Fox’s X - Men trilogy..
Newman says that the actress she doubled is an up - and - coming twenty - something and a ” really nice girl..” Newman is apparently a dead ringer for the actress, although she had to have her lighter colored hair dyed a darker brown to match.. Of her double, Newman said ” She’s not high - maintenance like you’d expect a Hollywood actress to be..”
Newman says that she was mostly filmed for stand - in scenes, which give actors and camera operators an idea of how to shoot.. She also did minor stunt work.. Her ” scariest ” task was to drive an old two - wheel - drive ute along narrow gravel roads at about 80kmh.. ” Every time you see that character in a car, that’s actually me..”
She also had the ” unexpected ” job of kissing Jackman’s double, though not the actor himself.. ” Definitely no tongue involved,” she adds.. Newman described Jackman as a ” typical Aussie bloke ” who’s “ 100 per cent ” focused on set but cracks jokes off it..
At present the cast includes Hugh Jackman ( Wolverine ), Liev Schreiber ( Sabretooth ), Ryan Reynolds ( Deadpool ), Taylor Kitsch ( Gambit ), will.i.am ( Wraith ), Danny Huston ( William Stryker ), Dominic Monaghan ( Blackwing ), Daniel Henney ( Agent Zero ) and Lynn Collins ( Silver Fox ).. X - Men Origins: Wolverine slashes its way into theaters on the 1st May 2009..
