[size="4"]Henney to Join Hugh Jackman in X-Men Prequel [/size]
Hearthrob actor Daniel Henney, 28, will costar in the new X-men spin-off film ``X-men Origins: Wolverine.''
Henney will star as Agent Zero of the Mutant Weapon X program, a mutant who can control electricity and has specialized tracking abilities, according to Twentieth Century Fox Korea.
The Mutant Weapon X program aims to control mutants and transform them into living weapons.
The movie ``Wolverine'', directed by Gavin Hood, is a prequel to the X-men saga that traces Wolverine's past as he discovers the world of mutants. The audience will join Wolverine's journey as he finds out he's a mutant, gets tangled up in with Sabretooth and learns more about the Weapon X program.
Hugh Jackman, also the producer of the film, will once again play Wolverine, while Liev Schreiber will star as his nemesis, Sabretooth. Danny Huston will be the young William Stryker, who was originally played by Brian Cox in the previous X-men movies.
New mutant characters other than Henny will also appear, such as Dominic Monaghan from the famed TV series ``Lost'' and rapper Will. I.am.
Henney has received attention not only in Korea but also in the United States for his role as an adoptee in the movie ``My Father'' (2007) and also the hit drama ``My Name is Kim Sam Soon'' (2005, MBC). He received the award for best newcomer from the Korean Movie Critics Association, the annual Blue Dragon Awards and the Korea Film Festival for his acting in ``My Father'' and also appeared in numerous commercials.
The new X-men movie is currently being filmed in New Zealand and will be released on May 1, 2009. |
I'm not the biggest fan of his acting, but I had the chance to meet him a while back and thought he was a pretty cool shit.
I wish him all the best with this (especialy cuz I'm really hoping this Wolvering flick will be cool). |

Happy to hear this dude has finally gotten his chance to crossover, I thought he'd end his career in Kimcheewood. |

Ugh, his acting is horrible.
I don't think this brings anything positive to the prospects of the movie. |

Before "My Name is Kim Sam Soon" he was a wannabe model. I don't know how the drama was so popular or successful. His acting is horrible. Cute guy though  |

True, true.
But let's remember, those were not the most popular comic characters to begin with.
Shoot, nowadays, Wolverine is synonymous with the X-Men. IN fact, I know the guy who did the new animation for the series...
Wolverine and the X-Men
((personally, I like Wolverine. But his story is just too overdone for my taste - at least in the comics)) |

Much like X3 there will be about 200 too many characters on screen, and I'm pretty sure it'll suck big time.
Then again... Deadpool is in it. |
