Gathegic talked a little about his role and the crew behind the film.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;My character\u2019s mutant ability is reactive adaptation.&#8221; says Gathegi. &#8220;For instance if I fall from a building my bones turn to rubber. Or if the lights go out I have perfect vision in the pitch black. Or if I happen to get catapulted into outer space, my body no longer requires oxygen. That sort of thing. And the list is as extensive as the need to survive.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>On director Matthew Vaughn, Gathegi says &#8220;Up against the ropes time wise Vaughn had his work cut out for him.  But he knows what he wants. He has a good eye. And he&#8217;s got a very interesting competitive spirit. I don&#8217;t think he would even allow himself to not make a great movie.  And personally, he is a hilarious guy. I like him. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Comicus recently spoke with X-MEN: FIRST CLASS actor Edi Gathegi who plays the mutant Darwin&#8230;.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2254,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[15,44],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3131","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-crew-talk","category-x-men-first-class"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_likes_enabled":false,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/x-menfilms.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3131","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/x-menfilms.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/x-menfilms.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/x-menfilms.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/x-menfilms.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=3131"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/x-menfilms.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3131\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/x-menfilms.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=3131"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/x-menfilms.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=3131"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/x-menfilms.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=3131"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
