Well, it looks like things are starting to get out of hand with the Wolverene cameos. We get word today that Beak will be in the film thanks to our friends at comingsoon:
Just Jared reports that former “Lost” star Dominic Monaghan will play Barnell Bohusk (AKA Beak) in 20th Century Fox’s X-Men: Wolverine. Here’s a description of the character:
Beak was a mutant whose bones were light and hollow. His arms had begun to grow feathers, which when fully formed, may have allowed him to fly. He could at the mean time glide and fly for short distances with great effort. Beak also had enhanced eyesight along with talons on his hands and feet. Even though Beak had bird-like qualities, it was extremely difficult for him to fly.
He’ll be joining Hugh Jackman (Wolverine), Liev Schreiber (Sabretooth), Ryan Reynolds (Deadpool), Taylor Kitsch (Gambit), Will.i.am (Kestrel), Danny Huston (William Stryker) and Lynn Collins (Silver Fox) in the Gavin Hood-directed pic, opening May 1, 2009.
Who gives a fuck about beak? He looks like a superhero that came to being when lightning hit a man eating a bucket of KFC. I did not know Beak and Wolverine had such a close relationship. I am certainly interested in seeing what the hell Beak plans to do in this film. He looks like a vulture dude that can sort of fly? This guy is like Angel with aids, but who knows, maybe legions of Beak fans are thrilled at this news.
This film has way too many characters for a Wolverine stand alone picture. I am actually not sure what the hell they are thinking at this point and my predictions for the quality of this film are plummeting. i like Wolverine but am not a huge fan; if I was – I would be right fucking pissed. The guy finally gets his own standalone film and you glut it up with shit characters and gobs of cameos? This should be a celebration of the character and a chance to further investigate his origins. Right now I can’t even guess what the hell the film will be about.
Comic book fans seem to universally understand that “more is worse” when it comes to comic book films. I don’t know why the people involved haven’t caught on to this. It’s a universal truth and is as bankable as the sun rising tomorrow. International friends – what are your thoughts on Beak?
