Wolverine and His Amazing Friends
Okay, at this point, X-Men Origins: Wolverine is looking more packed with mutants than X3. Which seems fairly inconceivable, right? As it's a solo movie? Having a fair idea of the plot of the flick, I can't quite figure out where all these extra mutants show up, unless they're split second cameos, rather than full fledged speaking parts. For your edification, I'm going to give you the current cast list here. First, of course, is Hugh Jackman as Wolverine, but then, you knew that:
Then, there's just possibly announced Taylor Kitsch as Gambit. He's rumored to have a three pic deal as part of this, and I, for one, am looking forward to X-Men Origins: Wolverine: 2: Gambit:
Guy kind of looks right, huh? Let's not forget Danny Huston as Stryker, aka Young Brian Cox:
And then there's Liev Schreiber, who takes over for Tyler Mane as Sabretooth, the man Wolverine knows from the ancient, beginning of time wolf-pack they're both part of:
I gotta tell you, I love Liev Schreiber, yet this is the only casting so far that completely confuses me. I guess he's taller than Hugh Jackman, maybe? He's certainly not anyone I would ever think of as Sabretooth, unless they digitally bulk him up. Anyway, here's Lynn Collins, aka Silver Fox:
...who I'm pretty sure is Native American (well, Native Canadian). Is this cast out of control? Does it make no sense? Oh my god, who's playing Deadpool, please don't f- this up:
Ryan Reynolds, huh? Okay, whew. That's kind of a slam dunk. And finally, there's The Blob, played by Kevin Durand:
Hmmm... Kind of skinny. How about we get Ryan Reynolds to play double duty?
So what do you guys think of the Wolverine cast? Love it? Hate it? Want more Mutants in it? Wolverine, movie updates, X-Men: Origins
don't hate it so far, but as always with movies there are so many variables you never know how the finaly product will end up
Is the Ryan Reynolds thing announced? He's been attached to Deadpool and Flash via the rumor mill so often I don't know what to believe.
All looks very unofficial and rumored to me. Reynolds as Deadpool isn't a bad fit really. Liev as Sabertooth (which is the only one that looks official to me), doesn't fit at all. I'll be missing Tyler Mane through the whole movie.
tyler mane couldnt act his way out of a nut sack. sabretooths size doesnt matter, its all about his taking pleasure in making wolverine, and others, suffer. w/ a good actor behind the character, hopefully that will finally be shown.
More official!
