Three actors added to the cast of ‘Days of Future Past.’

X-Men Days of Future Past Cast

Don’t like X-MEN: DAYS OF FUTURE PAST having a huge cast? Well, deal with it…it’s an X-Men film! Director Bryan Singer has just announced via Twitter three new cast members for the film! Daniel Cudmore will reprise his role as Colossus, a character who appeared in the original comic arc, with the addition of newcomers Fan Bingbing (upcoming Iron Man 3) and Booboo Stewart (The Twilight Saga).

Bingbing, a Chinese actress and singer, will play fan favorite Blink, a mysterious and unstable mutant who has the ability to teleport. She can utilize these powers in a destructive manner by using her power to teleport only parts of objects. In the comics, the character famously died within a month of her first appearance; she was later redefined as a more confident and assertive character in the parallel universe storyline “Age of Apocalypse.”

Stewart, an American actor, martial artist and singer has a currently unspecified role, though I’m going to randomly (and maybe wrongly) speculate that it’s for either John Proudstar, James Proudstar, Sunspot or maybe even Sunfire.

Production begins April 15th in Montreal for a July 18, 2014 release.

Thanks JC!
