"X-Men: Days Of Future Past" Updates



According to director Bryan Singer, currently in Montreal shooting the new Fox super-mutant feature "X-Men: Days Of Future Past", actor Omar Sy has been cast as 'Bishop' and Booboo Stewart as 'Warpath'.


Created by writer Whilce Portacio and illustrator Jim Lee, 'Bishop' aka 'Lucas Bishop', debuted in Marvel Comics' "Uncanny X-Men" #282 (1991), as a member of 'Xavier's Security Enforcers', a mutant police force from a dystopian future of the Marvel Universe, who traveled to the 20th century and joined the 'X-Men'.

A brash antihero, Bishop had difficulty adjusting to the norms of the time period. After a decade and a half of acting as a member of the team, Bishop eventually became one of the X-Men's main antagonists.

Bishop's mutant ability enables him to absorb all forms of radiant or conductive energy directed towards him and to release that energy from his body. This power is passive, allowing Bishop to absorb energy at all times.

'James Proudstar', aka 'Warpath', created by writer Chris Claremont and illustrator Sal Buscema, debuted as the second 'Thunderbird' in "New Mutants" #16 (1984).

An Apache Native American, 'Warpath' possesses mutant superhuman strength and speed, blaming the X-Men for his brother’s death and joining the villain group the 'Hellions' to get revenge.


"X-Men: Days of Future Past" stars Oscar winner Jennifer Lawrence, Hugh Jackman, Oscar-winner Halle Berry, Michael Fassbender, Nicholas Hoult, Ian McKellan, Patrick Stewart, James McEvoy, Peter Dinklage and Canadian actors Ellen Page, Anna Paquin and Shawn Ashmore.


Singer, who previously directed two "X-Men" movies for Fox, is shooting the new film @ the Montreal studio complex, Mel’s Cité du Cinema.
