More comicbook casting today as Jason Flemyng (Kick Ass, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button) has announced that he’s inked a deal to appear in Fox’s latest X-outing, X-Men: First Class. The “Lock, Stock” actor made the announcement today at Movie-Con during a chat with Empire Online. The actor has also let slip who he’ll be playing in Matthew Vaughn’s superhero love letter, Nightcrawler’s father, Azazel:
Today at Movie-Con he told us, “Matthew showed me my costume just the other day. Now I swore I’d never be in heavy make-up again, but this role is going to involve it. But at least they said, “Don’t worry, we’ll add the tail in post”. I am Azazel, and I can teleport by waving my arms [gestures like a cross between a flamenco dancer and a Bollywood star].”
As really big X-Men fans will know, Azazel is a teleporting creature from another dimension who tried to impregnate human women in the hope that one of his children would provide him with a permanent link to this plane that he could use to come back here. And fear not: we confirmed after Flemyng left the stage that he will be red, and not Nightcrawler blue or anything like that (Vaughn is clearly trusting that people can figure it out from the tail and pointed ears).
Whether or not the actor will have a big role in the film remains to be seen, but I’m happy to see yet another solide performer joining the already expert ranks of James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender, Alice Eve and Nicholas Hoult. (Source)
