This post contains spoilers for "Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania."
We can argue all day long about whether "Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania" is a barrel of fun or a barrel of hot crap, but it's undeniable that it rolls out a barrel of Scott Langs. In the Quantum Realm, Paul Rudd's incredible shrinking protagonist dives inside a volatile thing called the Multiversal Power Core in order to retrieve it for Kang (Jonathan Majors). There, Scott meets a variant of himself before swiftly multiplying in the style of fellow Marvel Comics character Jamie Madrox, a.k.a. the Multiple Man. Soon, Scott is surrounded by Ant-Man variants: every possible iteration of himself across the multiverse.
When the final trailer for "Quantumania" hit in January, we dissected it like an insect, of course, and in doing so, turned up a glimpse of the same "writhing mass of alternate Ant-Men." Scott is almost buried under them,...

This story contains spoilers for Marvel’s Avengers.
Marvel’s Avengers plot has proven to be one of the game’s biggest surprises so far. While the title’s beta suggested that it would be a Destiny-like live service experience that relies largely on vaguely connected content, it turns out that Marvel’s Avengers features a surprisingly compelling storyline that focuses on Kamala Khan as she navigates the aftermath of the A-Day event.
Yet, one strange, seemingly simple element of the game’s plot that has caught many people’s attention is the name “Jessica Yi.”
While there’s quite a lot to break down regarding Marvel’s Avengers compelling take on the Marvel Comics universe, we’re going to focus on Jessica Yi for a minute in order to explore who she is, why she is so compelling, how she potentially fits into the grander Marvel universe, and what...

The IP pipeline connecting the comic book sector to Hollywood continues to pump at a robust pace (and superhero movies now account for 10 of the top 25 highest-grossing films of all time) but the flow isn’t entirely a single-direction one.
Last summer, I wrote up a roll call round-up about the parade of Hollywood types (J.J. Abrams and John Carpenter among them) who have dipped into the world of comic books and graphic novels as visiting creative talent.
Today, a follow-up with new batch of show-biz citizens playing tourist in the vivid landscape of comics: Jack Black, Jay Baruchel, and Twiztid, the venerable Detroit hip-hop duo. Let’s take them in reverse order…
Twiztid: The hip-hop tandem of Jamie Madrox and Monoxide have been on the music scene since 1997 but they qualify for dual citizenship in the comics sector these days.

We were able to catch up with Jamie Madrox, one half of the Detriot rap duo Twiztid, who have put together an absolutely amazing third year of their pop culture convention Astronomicon which takes place on February 7th through the 9th in Sterling Heights, Michigan. In this interview, we discuss the many ways in which Astronomicon has continued to grow as it enters its’ third year, the guests that are booked, what Madrox “nerds” out over, plans for new music from Twiztid and more. Q: How excited are you for this third year of Astronomicon? Jamie Madrox: I’m super excited. I’ve watched it grow like my children over the years and I’ve seen it starting to become its’ own thing and it’s becoming independent on its’ own. Much like human life, it’s getting bigger as it grows which is a good thing! I don...

I remember reading recently that DC Comics top brass were a little miffed that their more recent stuff is still being outsold by their older stuff. Like classic coke beating new coke, the people at the top always seem to be the last to grasp what makes their ‘product’ both accessible and in demand. The reason the old stuff sells better, for both DC and Marvel, is that back in the day the publishers knew their audience, knew the level at which they were pitching their books. As that audience aged, so did the books tone and content, though still with a healthy taste for nostalgia in there too.

A couple of weeks ago, it was revealed that James Franco was returning to the superhero genre – after playing Harry Osborn in Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man trilogy – to star in a new Fox project based around Jamie Madrox Aka Multiple Man. The film was said to be another spinoff of the X-Men franchise, following Deadpool, Logan and the upcoming New Mutants.
While talking with The Hollywood Reporter in a recent interview, Franco was on hand to elaborate on the thinking behind the pic. Though he stopped short of confirming that he would be playing the titular character, his talk of working with producer Simon Kinberg and the X-Men movie team all but confirms it. He also revealed that the film would be another R-rated venture for the franchise.

Last week, it was reported that James Franco would star in and be involved with the development of a new X-Men film called Multiple Man. Franco has now officially confirmed that he is involved with a superhero project. He recently told THR:
“I do have a superhero that I am developing. I don't know how much I can say. But I will say I am producing and performing in it. Or will perform in it. It's early stages. I think probably what I can say is, like anything, there's a need to develop more. I have a company with my brother now called Ramona Films. We're developing all kinds of movies. Our bottom line Mo is, how can we push this into new ground? A little bit, but still make it entertaining? So that separates it from what I was doing alone, me making a Cormac McCarthy film, pushing into the new frontier of necrophiliacs.

There's an ongoing joke about how James Franco has found a way to duplicate himself. That's how he's able to work on so many projects. His recent stint on the HBO series The Deuce allowed for the joke to seem to be truth. On the show, he acts opposite himself, playing twin brothers. Now it's even further being played with in the announceent (via Deadline) that Franco will star in an X-Men spin-off about the Marvel Comics character Multiple Man. Jamie Madrox is the mutant superhero's real name. He was born with the gift and hardship of duplication. Basically, he can create many clones of himself, which comes in handy when you need an army-sized team to defeat a villain. In the comics, Multiple Man became best known as a member of X-Factor in...

James Franco will star as Multiple Man in a new X-Men solo film!
James Franco is set to play Jamie Madrox aka Multiple Man in a new standalone X-Men movie. The film is being written by Wonder Woman screenwriter Allan Heinberg and produced by Simon Kinberg, who is currently also directing X-Men: Dark Phoenix. No release date has been set for this film, but we assume it's still a ways away as its currently in the early stages of development.
The character choice is interesting as he's not exactly as popular of a name as, say, the usual mutants. In case you don't know, he's indeed named Multiple Man because he can instantly create duplicates of himself. While Jamie was originally a minor character, his story was better established in Peter David's X-Factor run from the 1990s, which incorporated many lesser known heroes from the larger X-Men mythos.

In the latest round of throwing whatever you can at a wall and seeing what’ll stick, Fox is continuing to expand its ever-broadening X-Men film franchise with an installment that’ll no doubt come as a shock to many. Believe it or not, the latest mutant they intend shining the spotlight on is none other than Multiple Man.
Seriously.
Having been previously played by “McSteamy” himself, Eric Dane, back in 2006’s X-Men: The Last Stand, the self-replicating mutant known to comic book readers as Jamie Madrox will now instead be played by James Franco, who had previously familiarized himself with the superhero film genre via Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man trilogy. Now, this may cause confusion for some, but do remember that recasting various characters has been on the table ever since the timeline was rewritten thanks to 2014’s X-Men: Days of Future Past.

20th Century Fox is currently developing another Marvel film set in the X-Men universe called Multiple Man. According to Deadline, James Franco is set to play the lead role! The film is being written by Wonder Woman scribe and Allan Heinberg and it will be produced by Simon Kinberg who has been involved with all of the X-Men movies. For those of you not familiar with Multiple Man, here's a description:
Multiple Man is Jamie Madrox, who, in the comics, conveyed his cloning powers at birth, when a second, identical version of him appeared after the doctor slapped the infant to get him to breathe. His father, a worker at the Los Alamos Nuclear Research Center, moved his family to a remote farm where his son — fitted with a special suit to control his powers designed by X-Men patriarch Professor Xavier — lived quietly until the suit malfunctioned and he began to go crazy.

Too often we hear of film projects falling apart when a director/star walks away or, in the more common scenario, a studio pulls the plug altogether. From Fantastic Four 2 to Sony’s fabled Sinister Six crossover, you don’t have to search too far to locate a big-name project that failed to get off the ground. Thankfully, Gambit isn’t one of them.
Yes, the X-Men spinoff has encountered one setback after another since it was first announced, but despite all those frustrating false starts, Channing Tatum remains attached to headline as the ice-cool Remy LeBeau. That’s the real name of the titular hero, a card-playing Cajun who hails from New Orleans. Originally portrayed by Taylor Kitsch in the widely derided X-Men Origins: Wolverine, the torch has since been passed over to Tatum, whose long-time affinity for the character stretches all the way back to childhood.

Having stolen the show in "X-Men: Days of Future Past," there's a rumor swirling that the speedy mutant character of Quicksilver could be one of the characters to appear on the recently revealed live-action "X-Men" series in development.
Film Divider reported the rumor which says the series will exist within the X-Men film universe and is "designed to permit crossovers". They also say that the idea of including Jamie Madrox, a.k.a. Multiple Man, is being "kicked around seriously," while the main character could well be a female mutant.
Evans is no stranger to TV, having worked as a regular on FX's "American Horror Story". If the rumors are true though, it would hint that Fox could be sticking to past times with the series rather than jumping forward to the present day batch of mutants.

Earlier this week, we heard a rumor that 20th Century Fox was looking to get into the superhero television game with a live-action X-Men series. The show is supposedly in “deep development” at the moment, and could be based on Peter David’s X-Factor comic book series, which featured a spin0ff team of mutants hired by the United States government.
Now, new rumors about the potential series have surfaced. According to Film Divider, the show will exist within the X-Men film universe and is “absolutely designed to permit crossovers” with the movies. As exciting as that is for fans, it presents certain problems for Fox, most notably involving who to cast in the show and which mutants to include. As such, a character who was a runaway hit in the films could very well give the series an immediate boost: Quicksilver.

The site claims that there is a good chance that the series will be based on Peter David's acclaimed X-Factor comic run. This story arc followed Jamie Madrox, aka Multiple Man, who sets up a detective agency. That definitely seems like a solid setting for a TV series that could provide a good amount of interesting and fun episodes revolving around the investigations that they take on.

Yesterday came news that Fox is in "deep development" of a live-action "X-Men" television series. Now comes a report of which characters might be featured in that series.
Film Divider claims that Fox is considering building the show around Quicksilver and Multiple Man. Both are known quantities, but not major players in the "X-Men" movies. "There's a fear of using no-name characters, worried that this will cost them viewers (cf. Agents of Shield), but also concern that burning up heavy hitters could cut off potential streams of movie revenue," the site says.
Quicksilver was introduced in this year's "X-Men: Days of Future Past," and instantly became a standout thanks to a stunning slow-mo scene. He was played by Evan Peters, who is no stranger to television, having starred in FX's "American Horror Story."
As for Multiple Man aka Jamie Madrox, that character was floated as a possible lead with yesterday's news.

In an update to the X-Men tv series report, we heard that the show may well be based on Peter David's acclaimed X-Factor comic run which saw Jamie Madrox, aka Multiple Man, setting up a detective agency. The website Film Divider add that they've heard this is "more than just a possibility", and have some extra details too. According to them Fox have been struggling to decide on a group of main characters for the show, and might be wary of going the Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D. route of using mostly unknown or new faces. To remedy this, one character that's apparently being talked about is X-Men: Days Of Future Past's Quicksilver (Evan Peters), but since he appeared in the past timeline of that movie it's unclear if they'd give the show a period setting, or simply recast the role and use an older version of the character.

The "X-Men" were a huge hit this summer on the big screen; now, they might be taking over the small screen, too.
A source told Bleeding Cool that Fox is in "deep development" of a live-action "X-Men" television show. This lines up with what "X-Men: Days of Future Past" writer Simon Kinberg has said in the past - that Fox is looking to expand its Marvel characters (including the X-Men and Fantastic Four) into television, a la "Agents of Shield."
It's extremely unlikely, though, that an "X-Men" show would feature any of the characters (or actors) from the movies. Fox wouldn't want to mess with a lucrative movie franchise. Instead, EatGeekPlay writer Shawn Madden tweeted that he believes the series would adapt an "X-Men" spinoff, "X-Force":
The X-Factor series will definitely feature Jamie Madrox and be sort of like "Fringe in the X-Men world".

According to multiple sources, 20th Century Fox is looking to get into the superhero TV game and are in the process of bringing the X-Men from the big screen to the small screen. Bleeding Cool first broke the news, claiming that Fox was currently in “deep development” on a live-action X-Men series.
X-Men: Days of Future Past producer Simon Kinberg once stated that “the serialized format of comic books is better suited for TV,” so the idea of Fox moving forward with a show focusing on the mutants comes as no real surprise. In fact, it was kind of inevitable, especially with both DC and Marvel having several shows currently on air or in active development.
Bleeding Cool’s report was followed up by one from IGN, who heard that the series would be based on Peter David’s X-Factor run, which ran in the 1990s and followed a group...

It was like one of those puzzle pictures we used to read in Highlights Magazine in the dentist’s office waiting room. The “What’s wrong with this picture?” one. But with one major difference. In this case, the picture is She-Hulk v 3 # 8, and the answer to what’s wrong with it is, not much of anything. Still, I want to show I can waste as much of our time writing about how a comic book story got the law right as I can writing about how it got the law wrong. So here goes.
She-Hulk v 3 # 8 started in a Los Angeles hospital where a dying nonagenarian made a death bed confession regarding “something terrible he needed to get off his chest.” No, not his “I heart Snooki” tattoo. Unfortunately, the story immediately cut to three weeks later, so we don’t know to what the dying man confessed.
After said three weeks transition,...

We’re back with another edition of the Indie Spotlight, highlighting recent independent horror news sent our way. Today’s feature includes Save Yourself first details, a new clip from The Well, a look at the first four minutes from Discopath, the teaser trailer for Bestseller, and much more:
New Clip from The Well and Screening Details: “At the edge of an expansive barren valley, all that remains of The Wallace Farm for Wayward Youth is a few hollowed-out husks of buildings. Seventeen-year-old Kendal (Haley Lu Richardson) can barely recall when the Oregon valley was still lush. It’s been a decade since the last rainfall, and society at large has dried up and blown away. Kendal and the few others that remain barely scrape by, while dreaming of escape.

Believe it or not, after Dark Phoenix there are still more X-Men movies on the way!
Eventually, the X-Men will get to join the Marvel Cinematic Universe. But in the meantime, there are still movies nearly completed, so we'll still see New Mutants and X-Men: Dark Phoenix before any changes that drastic take effect.
But this is still pretty much the end of the X-Men movies as we know them. Many of the projects on this list are unlikely to come to pass. Then again, you should probably count Deadpool out at your own risk. Disney knows a lucrative piece of IP when they see one.
So, here we have the final, sad remnants of the 20th Century Fox X-Men movie universe. For a more realistic picture of what's actually happening, you might want to have a look at this schedule of upcoming Marvel McU movies.

The X-Men have been around for more than 50 years. They multiply: rapidly, frequently, endlessly. They aren’t really a superteam like the Justice League or the Avengers, those all-star crews built out of solo-series stars (Superman, Captain America) mixed together with B-list glue characters (Martian Manhunter, Wonder Man). With one very obvious exception and a few other arguable exceptions, the X-Men aren’t Solo-Star people. They are a team.
Or rather, teams. Chris Claremont’s iconic decade-and-a-half run on Uncanny X-Men cemented the idea that the X-lineup was eternally fluid: Characters died, left on sabbatical, joined the Avengers, got replaced...

(Cbr) Every movie studio around is trying to mimic the current hot streak Marvel Studios is on, a streak that now includes a number of greenlit television series. With "Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." on the air, an "Agent Carter" miniseries possibly in the works, and five series headed for Netflix starting next year, the Marvel Cinematic Universe has leapt out of the cinema and into fans' living rooms. This has not gone unnoticed by 20th Century Fox, the studio that owns the rights to both the X-Men and Fantastic Four franchises. Writer and producer Simon Kinberg, whose work can next be seen in "X-Men: Days of Future Past" and the upcoming "Fantastic Four" reboot, revealed that Fox's plans might include screens both big and small. "We're still in this place of figuring out what the future of the franchise will be, but when you look at S.

I had the chance to speak with underground rap icons Twiztid while they were promoting their brand new Ep 'Get Twiztid' during the Bootleg Banner Tour. Members Jamie Madrox and Monoxide commented on how their departure from longtime label Psychopathic Records has affected them as well as their plans on releasing a new full length record during the first quarter of 2015. Twiztid left longtime music label Psychopathic Records at the end of 2012, not long after their final album on the Insane Clown Posse founded company, ‘Abominationz’, was unleashed upon the masses to great critical acclaim. They've since released two Ep's, a mixtape and have toured steadily since their departure. With the group's new distribution deal at INgrooves, it looks like Madrox and Monoxide are finally ready to...

As you can see from the cover artwork below, Gambit, Polaris and Quicksilver (along with other unrevealed members) will be getting a very different look for the "All-New Marvel Now!" series. However, if you're a fan of the previous iteration, don't panic; it Will still be written by Peter David. However, All-New X-Factor will deal with Jamie Madrox's decision to sell the "X-Factor" name to Serval Industries and their plans for a corporate funded team of mutants. Below, David discusses the series and the cast members who have so far been revealed. What do you think? "So much of what happens in this country stems from corporate control and involvement. So why not expand that real world philosophy to the world of comics and have it be that a corporation is interested in expanding into super heroes? I mean, if super heroes really existed, that's probably what would happen.

Horrorcore rap icons Twiztid have invaded Canada for the first time and they have hit it hard, bringing one of the most energetic and entertaining live shows I've ever seen. Jamie Madrox and Monoxide played Studio 54 in Lethbridge, Alberta Canada September 21st with opening acts Blaze Ya Dead Homie, Aqualeo and a handful of other rising hip hop talents. Even though Twiztid and Blaze recently left longtime label Psychopathic Records (on good terms I might add), they know their fanbase will always be comprised strongly of Juggalos who have been following their music for over a decade. Just waiting in line-up for the concert I was witness to a plethora of "Whoop Whoops", makeup, weed smoke and dudes passing out pills. Even though Studio 54 is a small club and the crowd of what looked like...

Announced at San Diego Comic-Con during the X-Men panel, Marvel revealed their plans for the upcoming mini-series titled, “Longshot Saves the Marvel Universe” due to arrive in November 2013. Written by Christopher Hastings and illustrated by Jacopo Camagni, the upcoming series will feature Longshot stepping out on his own after leaving Jamie Madrox’s X-Factor squad where he finds himself the target of S.H.I.E.L.D., an all-new villain who appears to be hunting down those with good luck, and some “all-powerful cosmic entities.”
“Longshot seems to have stretched his luck a bit too far, and set off a very, very unlucky chain of events that he feels responsible for fixing. Unlikely heroes are the most exciting heroes! It has been incredibly fun for me to start with the biggest most terrible threat for Longshot to face down and *then* figure out a way for him to realistically handle it.

Twiztid, the smash horror hip-hop duo of Jamie Madrox and Monixide, have been very busy since we last checked in with them following the release of their hit album W.I.C.K.E.D (check out our interview here). Their latest studio record Abominationz came in at the #18 spot on the Billboard 200 and scored #2 on the Top Rap Albums chart, and it looks like they've still got a lot of tasty morsels on their plate for 2013. After the first phase of a promotional tour for Abominationz with support from (Hed)p.e. and Potluck, the Twiztid team returned to the studio for a new kind of project, their first since departing famed label Psychopathic Records late last year. Entitled A New Nightmare, the upcoming release is a nine-track mixtape of collaborations between Twiztid and various guest artists including Rehab, Swollen Members, R.O.C. and Blaze Ya Dead Homie.

After hearing Chris O'Dowd answer questions about his upcoming cameo in "Thor: The Dark World," comedian Aziz Ansari chimed in with a statement that got our Splash Page brains working.
Ansari joked, "How come those Marvel guys can't draw some Indian dudes so I can show up in one of those movies?"
Regardless of how serious Ansari's desire is to fly alongside Iron Man, it got us wondering which Marvel characters he'd be a good fit for. He is right though, as Marvel has disappointingly few Indian heroes to consider for Ansari (obscure early '00s X-Man Neal Shaara, the third hero to use the name Thunderbird, is the most prominent one).
As one of the funniest stand up comics working today and one of the best parts of NBC's "Parks and Recreation" (a show that is comprised of 100% best parts), Ansari would definitely bring a totally...

Across the past 5 years we have seen Spider-Man, the X-Men, Hulk, Punisher, Iron Man, the Fantastic Four, Thor and Captain America all make the leap from the printed page to the silver screen.
Marvel’s slate of movies comes to its first filmic climax when a host of the Hollywood-ised Heroes band together for Joss Whedon‘s the Avengers in May this year. Hot on its heels are already announced sequels to Iron Man, Thor, Spider-Man, Captain America, Wolverine again, rumours of another Fantastic Four… hang on. We’ve already seen this bunch before.

According to a user-filed report at Comic Book Movie, the character of Jamie Madrox, aka Multiple Man, will be in the upcoming X-Men: First Class spin-off. Madrox had also appeared in X-Men 3: The Last Stand as a member of Magneto's League of Evil Mutants. Any X-nerd worth their salt was posisbly elated but more than likely confused to see Madrox in the movie, especially considering he's not a member of the X-men in the comics but rather the leader of X-Factor, currently a group of mutant private investigators operating out of M-Town, which of course stands for "Mutant-Town."
While it's not that surprising to see a random character or two pop up where one wouldn't expect them to in a Brett Ratner film, the fact is that X-Men: First Class is being helmed by Matthew Vaughn, who recently adapted the cynical and all-around lackluster Kick-Ass comic into a slightly less lackluster movie.

Just last month we brought you a report from showbiz411 about the casting of Benjamin Walker (Flags of Our Fathers, The War Boys) as Hank McCoy/Beast in Matthew Vaughn‘s (Kick-Ass, Stardust) upcoming film, X-Men: First Class for 20th Century Fox.
Now it seems that Walker’s casting has yet to be confirmed and rumor has it (via the dailymail) that the 26 year-old actor was actually contracted by Fox, then dropped over concerns that he is too close in age to 31 year-old James McAvoy and 33 year-old Michael Fassbender, the film’s two leads.
Surfer Erica Hosseini took to twitter and revealed that she had recently auditioned for a role in X-Men: First Class and gave more details to Straight2DVD.

X-Men: First Class is moving way too fast. In the past two months or so, all this stuff has come together: Matthew Vaughn directing, James McAvoy playing young Charles Xavier, Michael Fassbender hooked for a young Magneto, Alice Eve will be adorned in all of Emma Frost's low-cut outfits, and other casting and character rumors we're about to discuss. Unfortunately, all these things need to move faster, since First Class will be in theaters, supposedly, in 11 months. Tick tock, tick tock.
Comic Book Movie says Multiple Man, also known as Jamie Madrox, is part of the ensemble, although it's doubtful Eric Dane would reprise his role from X-Men: The Last Stand. Three actors are apparently up for the part. As you might expect, Multiple Man can replicate himself. A cool trick, really, more handy than a lot of X-Men mutant powers.
But there's still some trouble a-brewin' in the casting office.

Benjamin Walker has reportedly dropped out of the next X-Men film after the studio changed its mind several times on his suitability for the role.
Walker, star of the musical Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson, was cast a few weeks ago as the young version of Hank McCoy, aka Beast, in Matthew Vaughn's X-Men: First Class. The character was seen very briefly on a TV screen in X2 and then played by Kelsey Grammer in X-Men: The Last Stand.
But after Walker was hired, Fox chairman Tom Rothman insisted the role was recast, according to a report in The Daily Mail.
The reason, it said, was that Walker, variously said to be aged 26 or 28, was deemed too old to play the character alongside James McAvoy, 31, (as young Xavier) and Michael Fassbender, 33, (as young Magneto). Although actors can look different to their actual age (or the one they claim to be...

According to the geeks over at Comic Book Movie Jamie Madrox a.k.a. Multiple Man will make an appearance in Matthew Vaughn's X-Men: First Class!
You might remember that this character was actually in X-Men 3: The Last Stand, or maybe you wouldn't remember because of how we all wanted to forget about X-Men 3 after we saw it. He was portrayed by Grey's Anatomy actor Eric Dane. There is no word on who will play the character in First Class, but it would be could to see this character given a bigger role.
Jamie Madrox's mutant ability was apparent at birth when a duplicate was created upon his being slapped by the doctor. Two weeks later, Jamie's father resigned from the Los Alamos Nuclear Research Center and moved his family to an intentionally isolated farm in Kansas at the suggestion of Professor Charles Xavier. From a young age,...

While casting rumors seem to be the norm with X-Men: First Class lately, we're now hearing of a previously announced actor dropping out of the production, specifically, Benjamin Walker, who only a few weeks ago was announced for the role of Hank "Beast" McCoy.
The latest news comes via the U.K.'s Daily Mail, which is reporting that Fox film executives have dropped Walker from the production, quoting a source "intimately involved in the situation," as saying, "Fox absolutely loved him, booked him and the next minute they're saying they don't want him.

The first X-Men rumor is that Jamie Madrox, aka the Multiple Man, is going to appear in the film as a student at Professor Xavier's school. The character has already shown up in Fox's mutant franchise, as he was a fairly prominent part of the third X-Men film. Who'll play him, and what is his role in First Class?
