LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - Black Eyed Peas singer
Will.i.am will make his feature acting debut in "X-Men Origins:
Wolverine," the "X-Men" spinoff starring Hugh Jackman.
Danny Huston, Taylor Kitsch and Lynn Collins also have joined
the Fox project, and Ryan Reynolds is making a cameo. Gavin Hood
("Tsotsi") is directing.
"Wolverine," set 17 years before the "X-Men" movies, traces the
origins of the popular mutant superhero.
Will.i.am, whose real name is William Adams, will play Wraith, a
mutant with the power to turn himself translucent.
Huston, who most recently appeared in "30 Days of Night," is
playing Stryker, the military general who subjected Wolverine to
the experiment that laced his bones with an unbreakable metal
called adamantium. Brian Cox played the character in "X2: X-Men
United."
Kitsch, one of the stars of NBC's "Friday Night Lights," is
playing Gambit, a Cajun thief whose powers include the manipulation
of kinetic energy, which allows him to use card-throwing to deadly
effect.
Collins ("The Number 23") will play as Kayla Silverfox,
Wolverine's lover and a member of Team X, a superpowered covert ops
team.
Reynolds, onscreen in "Definitely, Maybe," will appear as
Deadpool, a wisecracking mercenary.
Liev Schreiber already has been cast as Victor Creed, a mutant
with bestial superpowers who also is known as Sabretooth.
Production began this month in New Zealand before moving to
Australia. A New Orleans shoot also is on the docket. Fox is
releasing the film everywhere May 1, 2009.
