Wolverine Likes Peas

X-Men Origins: Wolverine picks up another cast member--while Reynolds and Kitsch are confirmed in Variety:

Black Eyed Peas frontman Will-i-am (pictured) will play Wraith, a mutant who has the power to teleport, and is another test subject of the Weapon X program that created Wolverine and other mercenaries. It would be his first film role



Casting a musician is always risky if he's never acted before...But I think he's up to the task at hand...

On Reynolds and Kitsch the article says:

...Marvel has been eyeing the possibility of casting Reynolds as Deadpool an assassin with self-healing powers, for some time with the idea of spinning off the character into his own film series should the character prove popular among moviegoers.

Fox and Marvel have also long wanted to add the card-throwing character of Gambit to the "X-Men" franchise but could never find a way to give him enough screen time among the many other mutants that have appeared in each film...
