According to a scooper for Ain't It Cool News, British football star-turned-actor Vinnie Jones may be up for a role in X-Men 3. Jones has reportedly been spotted in the X3 production office in Vancouver. IGN FilmForce's trusty X3 source informed us that the Jones rumor is true and that the filmmakers are "definitely" talking to him about an unspecified villain role.
Well casting still being done can't wait until they reveal the casting for Beast and Gambit.
Ain't-It-Cool-News has posted a follow-up to their scoop that Vinnie Jones is in talks for a villain role in X-Men 3:More news from the X3 production office. Vinnie Jones is in talks for the role of, get this… Juggernaut! Now that is a sick hang if I have ever seen one.
For some reason I can't believe thats the role he is going for lol.
From XMenFilms.net:What we do know, is that whomever does get the role of Beast, will have to go through make-up tests to get the look of the character in the movie just right. We are being told that the character will NOT be CGI, 100%. The actor for Beast will have to undergo prosthetics. Some of the same appliances used for the characters of Mystique and Nightcrawler, will be applied to Beast. Will he have skin? Blue fur? Gray fur? It's still being worked out. Our guess (just an assumption), is that different versions will be tried out, until they achieve the look they want.
They also report that the casting search for both Beast and Gambit will begin next week. Hit the link below for more!
I can't wait for leak test pictures to come out of Beast. Also casting for Gambit is underway and soon everyone can sleep fine once they cast him.
