In what is perhaps my favorite way to announce a piece of news, Bryan Singer posted an awesome image (above) on Twitter while at the Montreal Canadiens hockey game showing the actors wearing jerseys with their names on the back. And as you can see, there is a new member to the team, Adan Canto. As a huge hockey and movie fan, this is one of the coolest things I’ve seen. If you didn’t hear our Top 3 Sports Movies segment on our podcast last week, take a listen and you’ll see what I mean. So how did Canto respond?
Canto responded with a simple, “thrilled to be an X-Man.”
While there is no official world on who Canto will play, we may have a good idea thanks to Twitter. A fan asked if he would give a hint to any future projects and here is how Canto responded:
“I might turn into a ball of fire if someone p*sses me off.” While it’s no guarantee, we think he may end up playing Brazilian mutant Sunspot.
The film will also feature Hugh Jackman, James McAvoy, Jennifer Lawrence, Michael Fassbender, Patrick Stewart, Ian McKellen, Nicholas Hoult, Omar Sy, Peter Dinklage, Halle Berry, Fan Bingbing, Anna Paquin, Daniel Cudmore, Ellen Page and Booboo Stewart.
X-Men: Days of Future Past will arrive on July 18, 2014.
