You Don’t Smell Like No Orc To Me, Bub!
Hobbit? Check. Drug-addled rock star seeking redemption while stranded on a mysterious island? Check. Dominic Monaghan can now add “electrically-powered mutant” to an already diverse resume.
Monaghan has signed on for a role in Fox’s Wolverine based X-Men prequel which focuses on the origins of Marvel Comics’ most popular mutant. The Lord of the Rings and Lost star will play Barnell, a miltary ally of Wolverine’s with the power to harness energy.
X-Men Origins: Wolverine goes onto just about every screen in the country in May 2009, a week before J.J. Abrams’ Star Trek revamp hits cinemas. I’ve taken to calling the week-long stretch in between these two blockbusters “The Most Important Week in the History of the Human Evolutionary Process,” but I may be understating things a touch.

And I hear Friday Night Lights’ Taylor Kitsch is taking on the role of Gambit which is wonderful. I’m not happy FNL isn’t coming back but I’m glad Taylor was able to take the movie role.
