Ben Foster, who played a pencil-necked geek in The Punisher and a psychotic in Hostage has been cast as the winged mutant “Angel” in X-Men 3 according to Variety (so it must be true).
So far the insane release date of May 2006 is still the target.
Just thought you might like to know.
Thanks to Movie Tab for the heads up.

Hmmm… One week later and still no comments on this one. Either people are saying “Ben Who?” or they are standing in line to run away from X3.
I personally didn’t know who he was until I saw The Punisher, but I am also prepared for this movie to be a stinkbomb.

You, me, and a lot of other people as well. There was such strong support for a lengthy X-franchise too. I have to wonder, if X3 tanks (which I am betting on) will the Wolverine/Magneto movies leave massive craters as well?
Good point. Let’s ask Jennifer Garner how her Elektra spin-off did.

Ohhhhhh, bad choice to play Angel. I imagine Angel as really angel-looking, not like I have seen one!
