As you all know I just love comic books, and films based on comics. There has been a lot of casting in the new X-men film, X-Men:First Class. The most recent member to join the cast is Twilight actor, Edi Gathegi. You were hoping I would say Taylor Lautner didn’t you?

Edi plays the villianous vamp, Laurent. He will be playing the mutant, Darwin, who has powers to be able to adjust to the environment around him. For example, if he is being shot at with flames he can become flame resistant.

Now as an avid comic book fan, I will admit I did miss this mutant ever in the comics. It is only because he was in a few. It turns out he is a lost X-men. He was one of the original X-men, but was not written to be one till many years later. Darwin was part of a rescue team who went out in search of helping the original X-men.
