Sadly I’m not sure of the Angel character so I can’t tell if this is a good choice or not, but thinking of how the character looks and being an huge fan of the TV series Alias, the story from Comic Book Movie suggests a good casting choice.
They have the actor David Sanders, who played Sark in Alias, down as having auditioned for the part, and awaiting a sit down with Matthew Vaughn:
He is currently working on an independent film called “Eli”, and let slip that he tested for the role a few days back.
I’m currently working as a production assistant on a small film, ELI, starring David Anders, known to Alias fans as the enigmatic Mr. Julian Sark. Between takes, a crew member mentioned the name Matthew Vaughn, the director of Layer Cake and the upcoming X-Men 3. Anders looked over and said, “Yeah, I just auditioned for Angel a few days ago, totally nailed it.” He followed this saying he’s going to be meeting with Matthew Vaughn about the role soon, and that things look highly promising.
Warning: Can I warn British Alias fans to be careful not to visit that post if they want to keep with the currently aired series on Channel 5? I’ve just seen a huge spoiler on that page and it totally hacked me off. So be warned.
Do the fans of X-Men and those who know this character think this is a good choice?
