Currently slated for a May 1st, 2009 release date is the next entry in the X-Men film series.
Variety is reporting that three characters have been added to the film:
Deadpool,
Gambit and
John Wraith. These three join the character cast of
Sabertooth,
Col. William Stryker and
Silver Fox in this movie. As far as the character cast is concerned, this is starting to look a lot like the lousy ending to the Spider-Man film trilogy.
Add to this character bash the fact that the latest bow for the film's director, Gavin Hood, was the big time anti-American flop
Rendition. The story Gavin seems to be telling focuses on Wolverine's involvement with the
Weapon X, which was an American military and CIA program involving experimentation on ethnic minorities and mutants.
I wonder which side of the Good - Evil spectrum the American military and government will fall in this.
