‘X-Men: Days Of Future Past’ Adds Adan Canto; See First Pics Of Halle Berry As Storm
A decade afterX2,Bryan Singeris busy directing superpowered mutants once again.X-Men: Days of Future Pastentered production about a week ago, and thanks to Twitter we’ve received a steady stream of updates on the project.
This weekend, we learned that the already crowded cast had added one more star in the form ofAdan Canto, a Mexican actor best known for playing Paul Torres on Fox’sThe Following. Additionally, Singer posted a fresh photo of original trilogy starHalle Berryback in the Storm role, albeit with a new suit and haircut. Hit the jump for more.
As with most of the franchise’s newcomers, Canto’s role has not officially been revealed. But he may have dropped a massive hint a couple of weeks ago when he tweeted about one of his upcoming projects at a fan.
Assuming he’s talking aboutDays of Future Past, that description would fit the Brazilian mutant Sunspot, who can absorb and channel solar energy. An alternate (but less likely) guess is that he’s the new Pyro, replacing Aaron Stanford fromX2andX-Men: The Last Stand.
Moving on to Canto’s co-star Berry, Singer posted this photo on Twitter today.
Berry confirmed earlier this month that she was pregnant with her second child. Though she told press the script would not be changed significantly, sheadmittedthat “Storm probably won’t be as badass as she was going to be because we won’t be able to do any fighting or flying or things like that.” In the image, however, her baby bump is barely visible at all.
Along with Canto, newX-Menstars includePeter Dinklage,Omar Sy,Fan Bingbing, andBooboo Stewart. Stewart, McKellan, Ashmore,Daniel Cudmore,Ellen Page,Anna Paquin, andHugh Jackmanare returning from the original trilogy. AndJames McAvoy,Michael Fassbender,Jennifer Lawrence,Nicholas Houltreprise their roles fromFirst Class.
