"X-Men, Days of Future Past" has added yet more mutants, both old and new.
First, Daniel Cudmore ("The Twilight Saga") will reprise his role as the metallic Russian bodybuilder Colossus, as seen in 2003's "X-Men 2" and 2006's "X-Men: The Last Stand," according to Comic Book Resources.
Meanwhile, Singer Tweeted that Chinese actress Fan Bingbing has cast as Blink, a fan favorite mutant with the ability to teleport.
She recently starred in Chinese box office hits "Double Exposure" and "Lost In Thailand." She'll soon be seen in the remake of "The Bride With White Hair." Bingbing is also in talks to star in the next chapter of the "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" saga, according to Deadline.
Singer's tweet included a photo of a wall of cast headshots, and the caption, "3 #Oscars, 6 #GoldenGlobes, 1 #BAFTA, 2 #Emmys, 2 #Tonys, 5 #Oliviers, 1 #Ceaser - Now let's blow s**t up! #XMEN" That's quite a cast.
As CBR points out, there are a few blank space on the wall, meaning that casting isn't quite yet finished. Cyclops? Jean Grey? Someone new? Who would you like to see added to the cast?
"X-Men, Days of Future Past" is set to open July 18, 2014.

Warmertoast At least you didn't say first. I don't think cyclops or jean will return, it just seems unlikely sice they haven't been announced yet.

March 17, 2013 at 3:06AM EST Reply to CommentI really hope this movie will fix were "the last stand" destroyed my hope for future X-Men movies. I have been a fan of the comics since the '80s and of Cyclops& Phoenix just as long. I root for them and what their story has meant for the X-Universe.

Also, if Microsoft doesn't sign Bingbing to a deal for her to advertise Bing, they're losing out.
