'X-Men: Days of Future Past' Adding Omar Sy to Their Endless List of Stars



The already impressive roster for X-Men: Days of Future Past is getting bigger. French actor Omar Sy, known for his work in the acclaimed 2011 film The Intouchables, is joining the cast in an unspecified role. Director Bryan Singer shared the news on Twitter Saturday, where he called the actor "brilliant."
"Thrilled to welcome the brilliant #OmarSy from the amazing film #TheIntouchables to the cast of #Xmen #DaysofFuturePast!" Singer tweeted.

The follow-up to 2011’s X-Men: First Class, will reunite castmembers James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender, Jennifer Lawrence and Nicholas Hoult. On Feb. 13, Singer announced Game of Thrones star Peter Dinklage was joining the cast in a role still being kept under wraps.

The film will also include appearances from the actors of the original X-Men trilogy, which was released from 2000-2006. Hugh Jackman, Patrick Stewart, Ian McKellen, Anna Paquin, Ellen Page and Shawn Ashmore are on board to reprise their roles.

Based on the iconic 1981 story in Marvel Comics' Uncanny X-Men, Days of Future Past will portray the original series stars as older versions of their characters in a dystopian future in which mutants are hunted down.

Days of Future Past, from 20th Century Fox, is eyeing an April start date and is slated for a July 18, 2014, release

God, what are they doing? I love Omar to death but soon this movie is going to have more characters and subplots than an episode of True Blood.

I really hope that this ends up getting split into two movies because otherwise it sounds like an epic clusterfuck. Too many characters was a big part of what went wrong with X3.

Starting a prayer circle for this to be true.

No worries op, they'll kill him within the first 20 minutes anyways.
cruel_idol 3rd-Mar-2013 01:30 am (UTC)
Excited about this!
elksa 3rd-Mar-2013 01:30 am (UTC)
oh god Bryan Singer, what're doing?

I really hope this isn't a mess, but it looks like that is what it's going to be

edit: I do like Omar Sy tho, so I guess this is good news

Oh man. Oh man. Oh man...
This cast... I can't...
I want them all to be promoting this ASAP..
shining_starsxx 3rd-Mar-2013 01:36 am (UTC)
If Halle Berry is playing Storm again then I'm not here for this.They also need to write Raven and Emma better.
sweetyb 3rd-Mar-2013 01:37 am (UTC)
this movie is going to have more characters and subplots than an episode of True Blood.

srly. is this film even going to have a plot or just a bunch of recognizable faces running around for two hours with explosions in the background?
ian_michael89 3rd-Mar-2013 01:37 am (UTC)
This is starting to feel like X3 more and more each time I read a new article about it.
dubiously 3rd-Mar-2013 01:37 am (UTC)
Damn he is one handsome man!
mammary_glands 3rd-Mar-2013 01:40 am (UTC)
damn, he's beautiful

here for this, even if halle's weak acting ass is back
redaodai 3rd-Mar-2013 01:41 am (UTC)
He's cute.

I've been meaning to rewatch my X-Men: TAS DVDs.
tx5mym5 3rd-Mar-2013 01:41 am (UTC)
He's handsome! I need to watch The Intouchables. I wonder who he is going to play. My first thought is Bishop, but with the Bolivar Trask casting, you can never really predict. This movie will have extras like "whoa!".
wanderlost 3rd-Mar-2013 01:43 am (UTC)
Oh, another black character they can kill off.
_xxtom 3rd-Mar-2013 01:44 am (UTC)
cackling haha
xevochic 3rd-Mar-2013 04:44 pm (UTC)
Right? ngl, my first thought when I saw this post was "oh, so this is one of the characters they'll be killing off".
isntdaveone 3rd-Mar-2013 01:44 am (UTC)
all these "cameos" will probably be 1 line or just standing in the background like all the others were in X-3.
clear_liqueur 3rd-Mar-2013 01:45 am (UTC)
Well, at least they're hiring some of the best actors in the business, unlike X3 which just had 100s of random unknowns running around. 90% of the main cast has an Oscar, BAFTA, Tony, or Emmy at this point. If it goes wrong they'll have to blame poor directing.
supernature_971 3rd-Mar-2013 01:47 am (UTC)
OMG I love him !

Who could he play though... ?
ceecile 3rd-Mar-2013 01:50 am (UTC)
OMG. My French self doesn't know how to react to this.
I think it's really funny for some reason. But at the same time I'm really happy because I love him. But it's also really weird. Idk Idk..
firefox1490 3rd-Mar-2013 01:54 am (UTC)
Can I call Bishop?

Please oh please. Or a reborn/regenerated Darwin?
adorealire 3rd-Mar-2013 01:58 am (UTC)
OMG, he was in the Intouchables! I watched it at the Windsor International Film Festival, and I adored it soooo much. Super excited now
microminiscrew 3rd-Mar-2013 01:59 am (UTC)
Omar! I can't be mad about too many characters when it's him
evett 3rd-Mar-2013 02:03 am (UTC)
X3 part deux
pastelstar 3rd-Mar-2013 02:10 am (UTC)
Congratulations on your face, sir. Yum.

This movie is sounding more shit every day though.
wonderwomanhero 3rd-Mar-2013 02:13 am (UTC)
This is X3 part 2, with Halle Berry's casting as Storm and Anna Paquin as Rogue and the many many many many characters....
adlanth 3rd-Mar-2013 02:24 am (UTC)
Oh, this is going to be like with Dujardin all over again. I mean, I like him but what's he doing in Hollywood / who's manning the SAV / this is so weird?
motokoayoama 3rd-Mar-2013 10:56 am (UTC)
SAV has stopped airing (thank god for that)
genbu_no_miko24 3rd-Mar-2013 02:24 am (UTC)
Hello Handsome ;)
jadehunter 3rd-Mar-2013 02:38 am (UTC)
The more they add people, the more I get this feeling this movie will flop like nothing else has ever flopped before.
luminaris 3rd-Mar-2013 02:39 am (UTC)
Wow this crowded ass movie...

Casting is doing the most and need to have a seat and think about what the hell they're doing. This movie sounds like a clown car.
saintvlas22 3rd-Mar-2013 03:53 am (UTC)
At the very least, I'm hoping they just throw everyone at the bad guy and blow like $100 million on the epic special effects laden battle. I'm here for THAT.
x_neverenough 3rd-Mar-2013 07:19 am (UTC)
omg yes. he is sooo handsome

crying tears of happieness if he's Bishop omfgggg

crying even harder if they fuck up the character tho
alkalinecupcake 3rd-Mar-2013 10:39 am (UTC)
YES. he was so great in The Intouchables and I'm glad I'll get to see him more!

possible clusterfuck, but at least i'll get to see him. ;)
xevochic 3rd-Mar-2013 04:45 pm (UTC)
I hope he's not playing Bishop because I'm not here for one of my favs having a pointless death in the X-Men movies. The comics give me enough of that.
prophecypro 3rd-Mar-2013 04:57 pm (UTC)
Cast balling out
classicart 3rd-Mar-2013 07:38 pm (UTC)
oooooh he's also in the new michel gondry film with audrey tautou and romain duris.
honeebs 4th-Mar-2013 03:02 am (UTC)
Wow good for him. I'm looking fwd to seeing the intouchables.
