The Beast & Angel Major Players in Xmen 3 Movie

Posted by:

Well it seems Angel wont be a gender bender and will in fact be a man as we would all expect. So kill that rumor. NOW IGN is reporting that Angel and the Beast will have major roles in the upcoming X-men 3 Movie. Here is a snippet.

IGN FilmForce checked with its super-secret X3 insider who declared that "Angel is male!" We were advised that Angel (a.k.a. Warren Worthington III) will be a "major character" as will Beast.

Beast will be seen in his transformed state and will be played by a different actor than Steve Bacic, who appeared as Hank McCoy in X2.

Overall, our source confirmed the rest of the AICN report as accurate but emphasized that "Gambit is not a major character." While the ragin' Cajun enjoyed a relationship with Rogue in the comics, it's uncertain whether that will be a part of X3 in any way (or how any potential affair will sit with Rogue's current beau, Bobby "Iceman" Drake).

IGN's source also revealed that Cyclops is still in the movie but not as a major character. They would not reveal anything more about his part but did confirm that Matthew Vaughn is indeed on-board to direct.

I am looking more and more forward to X-Men 3. As you will recall earlier in the week it was reported that these characters plus Gambit would be the new Xmen 3 Mutants!
