Bishop and Warpath added to ‘X-Men: Days of Future Past’

Mark Daniell - April 27th, 2013

Director Bryan Singer has dropped another casting hint for his upcoming X-Men sequel via his Twitter page.
After a steady stream of announcements, Singer tweeted out a Vine video of various director’s chairs for the mutants appearing in Days of Future Past. Most of the cast members we already know about are there – Logan, Xavier, Magneto, etc – but he also gives us a glimpse of chairs marked Bishop and James ‘Warpath’ Proudstar.

Warpath is an Apache Native American created by writer Chris Claremont (who also wrote the 1981 storyline on which the upcoming X-Men sequel is based). He possesses superhuman strength and speed.

He will presumably be played by Booboo Stewart (The Twilight Saga).
Bishop first appeared in the early ’90s and is part of Xavier’s Security Enforcers. He’ll most likely be played by Omar Sy.

Days of Future Past will combine actors from the original X-Men trilogy and 2011′s ’60s-set prequel in a time travel story arc. The new film is rumoured to take place in the 1970s and is based on a story arc from the comics written by Chris Claremont.
X-Men: Days of Future Past will be released July 18, 2014.

X-Men: First Class

Montreal has mutants.
Halle Berry, Patrick Stewart and Hugh Jackman have all been spotted around the city now that production of X-Men: Days of Futures Past has commenced.
Director Bryan Singer and actor Shawn Ashmore of Richmond, B.C. have also been seen around town.
Cameras started rolling April 15 and filming is scheduled to continue until September.
Berry, the 46-year-old former Oscar winner who has a daughter with Montreal model Gabriel Aubry, was seen at the Oink Oink children's boutique in posh Westmount last weekend.
An Oink Oink staffer told QMI Agency that Berry bought several toys and browsed the store's collection of children's books. She'll reprise her role as Storm in the sequel, which arrives in theatres in July 2014.
Singer, Ashmore, Stewart and fellow British actor Ian McKellen were seen in a Bell Centre box during a recent Canadiens game against the Washington Capitals.
Jackman, meanwhile, was surprised by photographers last week, when he landed at Trudeau Airport.
Also due to arrive in town shortly are Winnipeg's Anna Paquin (Rogue), Halifax's Ellen Page (Kitty Pryde) and Irishman Michael Fassbender, who will play a younger version of McKellen's villainous Magneto.
The film is being shot at Mel's studio, a sprawling soundstage south of downtown Montreal that's the largest such facility in Canada.
Crews have also been shooting scenes on location at Olympic Stadium in the city's east end in recent days.
