X-Men Origins: Wolverine
Jul. 10th, 2008 01:14 pmI've just checked out the casting.
Taylor Kitsch as Gambit. He is cute, he looks the part. He is unknown. I have no idea if he is good but he looks the part. That's something.
will.i.am as John Wraith. Wraith is a boring character I don't care about and I can't take someone who has no real name serious which is why I haven't even checked out his imdb profile. I just don't care. Whose name is will.i.am for Christ's sake?
Liev Schreiber as Sabretooth. I saw an image of Sabretooth as played by Schreiber and he looks like a cheap man's Wolverine with short dark hair when I envision Sabretooth as a tall blond man with long, unruly hair. Also, I am not a big fan of Liev Schreiber's. I saw his work as a director in "Everything is Illuminated" and I hated it so much that I may be biased. But I don't like Sabretooth's looks. I loved Tyler Mane as Sabretooth in "X-Men" because he looked the part and while he didn't do much and died right away, he seemed like the feral Sabretooth.
Lynn Collins as Silver Fox. She is just one of Logan's early flames who if I recall correctly ends up being killed by Sabretooth cementing the life-long rivalry between those savage beasts. The actress looks okay, I guess. I don't really care as they could have chosen anyone for the part.
The casting director must be a real fan of Jim Carey's "The Number 23" because he casted two actors from the movie for this one. The first one is Collins, the second Danny Houston as William Stryker. They are going with the X2 version of Stryker and making him a military man linked to Logan's past but Brian Cox who was spectacular isn't reprising. Instead, they decided to go with someone who doesn't resemble Cox at all. I'm aprehensive about that one.
Ryan Reynolds as Deadpool. I don't think Deadpool fits into this movie. Deadpool is a humorous character who pokes fun at everything and can't be taken serious. And his looks can't possibly be copied for anything outside the comic books. Ryan Reynolds is hot. They'll want to show that face and well, that already takes away most of what Deadpool is, a faceless madman.
