(and yes, comic nerds, I do realize that this is a pic of "Ultimate X-men Angel" and not the "real" Angel. but if you knew how fuckin' hard it is to find a decent pic of the guy, short of scanning one up yourself, 'ya wouldn't be complaining about it in the back of your heads....)

i think it's a pretty damn good casting, if you ask me( if anything, better than the whole "female Angel" idea that was rumored earlier). this also seems like the only good news that's been about X3 so far. i do understand that this movie will probably be a fucking disaster, but atleast we'll get to seem some characters we missed out on before in the process.......

here's to more good news of this caliber being released soon.....

Thoughts??

[LegionX]

I can see it but Id go back to the casting boards.

[HM Murdock]

Not bad. I thought he was good in Terminator 3 and I think he would fit in well in the X-Men brand.

[Cronos]

i can see him playing the character, too bad i no longer care about the film

[Shockwave]

Exactly, Cronos.

Unless things do a complete turn around, this is just a small ray of light in the thunder-storm of stupity that surrounds X3.

well..............never fucking mind then. look what we have here:

Ben Foster to Play Angel in X-Men 3

Ben Foster (Six Feet Under) will play the mutant Archangel (aka Angel) in 20th Century Fox's X-Men 3, reports Variety.

In the comics, carefree millionaire Warren Worthington III was the high-flying, heroic Angel. But Warren's world came crashing down when dark forces conspired to clip his wings. Recovered from his brush with evil, Archangel again soars the skies alongside the uncanny X-Men.

The actor joins fellow "X-Men" newcomers Kelsey Grammer and Vinnie Jones in the second sequel, which reteams Hugh Jackman, Famke Janssen and Ian McKellen. Brett Ratner is directing the third installment, scheduled to hit theaters on May 26, 2006.

Foster's recent films include Hostage and The Punisher.

...................compared to the previously rumored choice, in my opinion, this falls into the bad news category.

[Jimbo513]

Yeah. I've never seen six feet under and I don't really remember him from Punisher (which means he was prolly mediocre). I do remember him in Hostage and didn't think he was great. He seems like an average actor at best.

Whatever happened to loading up big budget films with quality actors? Films like Armageddon. That movie has no less than 7 superstars in it.

More than likely Angel will only be in X3 so why not spend a few dollars and hire someone like Matt Damon.

[Martin Jeeves]

Is Rebecca Romijn in X3?

[MrCouch]

ratner is gonna eff this movie up so bad.


i already hate this guy.
