So today was a big day for comic book movie news. I will start with the rumor first. Mark Wahlberg has shown some interest in the role of Aquaman. I just really don’t think that Aquaman can be made into a movie very well. I mean, the comics are cool, but I think it is one that should stay a comic. You can read about it here.
Now, the bigger stuff. X-men 3. What can I say? Sometimes I think they get more people on board their project just to keep a buzz in the Entertainment scene. But anyways, 3 new people have been cast for the new movie. Yeah, i know 3 more people is what they need in a movie that already contains more than 10 big names. Now, if it was Brian Singer doing this, then I might be able to get behind it, but putting a new director behind a franchise that already has 2 successful movies full of characters that have solid backstories is not a good idea for a new director. Anyways, you know who Bill Duke is? No, imagine that, me either. Then I saw his picture and knew exactly who he was. He was the big black guy with the sad eyes from Commando who was after Arnie. He is being cast as the maker of the Sentinels. So since that is in there, then I guess that means that the Sentinels are going to be in this one, or at least alluded to so that it can get ready for another movie.
The second bit of casting is for the role of the Father of Angel. This role will go to MIcheal Murphy. Yeah, still don’t know who that one is.
Then Olivia Williams will be playing Moira McTaggart who was Professor X’s ex. And she was a genetic researcher in the comic books. And I will vouch for Williams, I liked her in Peter Pan as the mother of the children, so I hope that she does this role justice as well.
So, like I said, lots and lots on the comics front today. Two articles to look at for this one. One is here and one is here. And if you want to look at the cast thus far in the process, you can look at that here.
