X-Men Origins: Wolverine

I've gotta say, I'm honestly surprised an X-Men spin-off movie is gonna happen. TWO even, if what I've read is right (Wolverine and Magneto). Here's the latest blurb on the Wolverine movie - and the cast is getting kinda interesting! I love me some Liev Scheiber and Ryan Reynolds!


Three more members of the cast for X-Men Origins: Wolverine have been revealed.

According to Variety, Ryan Reynolds, who starred as Hannibal King in Blade: Trinity, has joined the Wolverine cast. He is believed to be playing Deadpool in the film. Reynolds has long expressed an interest in the character.

Fox has yet to confirm Reynolds' casting, but did confirm that Taylor Kitsch of NBC's Friday Night Lights will be playing Gambit.

Hip-hop artist will.i.am is also part of the cast, according to Variety.

They join a cast that includes Hugh Jackman as Wolverine, Liev Scheiber as Sabretooth, Danny Huston as William Stryker and Lynn Collins as Silver Fox.

The film has already begun shooting under the direction of Gavin Hood for a May 1, 2009 release.
