Just when you thought that the casting news for X-Men: First Class was done and dusted, another name joins the ensemble…
You'd hardly call the ensemble cast of X-Men: First Class a small one, and it's just a month or two since the casting announcements appeared to be coming through on a daily basis.
However, now that the film is firmly before the cameras, ahead of its release next summer, we figured that casting announcements were done and dusted. We figured wrong.
For there's been time to add one more face to the cast, and that face belongs to Mr Ray Wise. Wise, best known for his role in Twin Peaks (where he played Leland Palmer), revealed to IGN that "I'm playing the Secretary of State of the United States."
He joins a cast that includes James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender, Nicholas Hoult, Kevin Bacon, Jennifer Lawrence and January Jones. Matthew Vaughn is, of course, directing. And the film itself is scheduled for release on June 3rd 2011.
