Edi Gathegi (of Twilight fame) Joins X-MEN: FIRST CLASS

Deadline Hollywood is reporting that Edi Gathegi, who played a chillingly evil vampire in Twilight and Twilight Saga: New Moon, is joining X-Men: First Class in the role of Darwin. That character, the first bi-racial mutant (in the comic series), has the power of "reactive evolution," which allows him to adapt to any situation or environment. Plunged underwater, he'll grow gills, he'll gain night vision in pitch black and his skin grows fire retardant when burned.

Gathegi, who played Laurent in the Twilight films, just wrapped production on the Paul Johansson-directed adaptation of the Ayn Rand novel Atlas Shrugged.

THOR and CAPTAIN AMERICA Coming in 3D - See New THOR Photo!

 
We have exciting news....The Los Angeles Times has confirmed that "Thor" and "Captain America" is coming to 3D theaters.

"We came to feel that in our case 3-D could be the very good friend of story and character for a different kind of experience," Branagh said, taking a break from post-production. The filmmaker said the terminology of the 3-D process initially made him cringe  -- at first, it was "math and physics and way over my head," he said with a chuckle -- but then he started to pulse with the unexpected artistic opportunities.

"It's another draft of the story that can reveal itself in a different way," he said. "I had a healthy degree of skepticism up front ... I've become somebody extremely excited about working with possibilities of doing it this way."

"Thor" will be the first Marvel film in 3-D. The second will be "Captain America: The First Avenger" due July 22. The director of that film, Joe Johnston, has experience with stories of the fantastic (his credits include "Jurassic Park 3" and "The Wolfman"), but he said he was also skeptical of 3-D after seeing some recent films make missteps.

 "I think it tends to be overused and can be a little bit gimmicky," said Johnston, who began shooting last week in London but will travel to San Diego for Marvel's Comic-Con panel. "A lot of people are using 3-D now because they feel have they have to ... that will come and go and the pictures that deserve to be in 3-D will continue to be. When it's done bad, it can make you carsick."

Hopefully these 3D films will be done right. Movies like "Clash of the Titans" and "The Last Airbender" were a 3D joke. These films have to be done right for the 3D experience to be a true 3D experience.

What are your thoughts? Feel free to add a comment!
