X-Men 3 Casting and Characters Update

X-MenFilms.net has posted an update concerning who is going to be in the film and who isn't. Here is a bit of what was posted.

I just got some new word on X3. Gambit and Beast we can confirm. Not sure about Angel. Hugh, Famke, Ian, and Patrick are back as of today. This is in addition to the actors already optioned for X3.

Anna, Halle, and James are NOT signed yet, though by the end of the week, they should know what will happen with Anna Paquin.

Looks like besides Phoenix, the SENTINELS are in, including a character called Dr. Bolivar Trask.

We heard earlier that Angel was going to be a major role, so I would count on him being in the film as well. As far as this Bolivar Trask character goes he was a VERY short lived character in the X-Men comic. Basically he is the creater of the Sentinels.
