X-Men 3 casting updates

X-Men3-TeaserPoster.jpgThis is getting as mad as Bond now. If we were to add up all the casting rumours for X-Men 3 since they began we’d have a cast of about fifty headliners…perhaps that’s not far off the truth, however, here are the latest titbits.

From Comic Book Movie comes the suggestion that they’re previous scoop the other day might be slightly wrong, and two new names:

Olivia Williams (The Sixth Sense,…) as Dr. Moira McTaggert, Michael Murphy (Gotham’s mayor from Batman Begins) as Warren Worthington, Jr. (Angel’s dad) and, as previously reported here, Bill Duke (Predator) as a “politician in the President’s cabinet,” according to IGN Filmforce. We heard he was Dr. Trask, creator of the Sentinels, but IGN claims that’s wrong.

Now, over to Coming soon, the give another suggestion for the plot, so far I think we’re looking at five or six different plots since the rumours began. This is either going to be one long film, or one very confused one.

Iranian actress Shohreh Aghdashloo…will be playing Doctor Kavita Rao, who was introduced in Joss Whedon’s recent run on “Astonishing X-Men” as a geneticist that created a serum called Hope to try to rid mutants of their mutations, essentially “curing” them.

You know much as I love the X-Men series, this is starting to get to me as much as the Bond rumours, perhaps these ones are more concrete than others but from start to finish there’s been so much flying around with a mixture of press manouvering and actual news, it’s really hard to know what is actually going to happen. We’ve still got till May next year!
