With a cast so far including Michael Fassbender as Magneto, James McAvoy as Professor X, and recent Alice Eve as Emma Frost, the story for the prequel to the 'X-Men" trilogy focuses on Marvel's superpowered mutant team 'X' in a younger incarnation than the previous trilogy. So we can expect more actors enrolling in 'First Class' filling in the roles of our beloved mutants over time.
And now According to
Latino Review's "trusted sources", unknown actor
Caleb Landry Jones is the top contender to bag the role of Sean Cassidy aka BANSHEE in the Matthew Vaugn-directed prequel.
Caleb Landry Jones a considerable unknown, appeared as "boy on bike" in
No Country for Old Men(pictured below), and the 20 year old can be seen in this year's
The Last Exorcism & in David Fincher's
The Social Network.
Created by writer Roy Thomas and artist Werner Roth,Banshee was an Irish mutant, whom possesses a "sonic scream," capable of harming enemies’ auditory systems and causing physical vibrations. He is named after the banshee, a legendary ghost from Irish mythology, said to possess a powerful cry, although the banshee spirit is invariably female.
There was a small reference to the character in 'X-Men 2', with his name appearing on a list of names 'Mystique' scrolls through on Stryker's computer while looking for Magneto's file.
DCMF: You can obviously take this with a grain a salt, for now. But if true, how do you feel about "Banshee" actually appearing in the film, and a potential unknown portraying him?
