Take A New Look Stephen Merchant's Caliban In Latest Black And White Image From LOGAN
Despite the fact that we met the character in X-Men: Apocalypse, Stephen Merchant (The Office) will play a different version of Caliban in Logan, and you can take a look at him right here.
Tómas Lemarquis played Caliban in the 1980s set X-Men: Apocalypse, but Stephen Merchant looks set to play another version in Logan, a movie set in the not too distant future. In terms of continuity, that makes literally no sense, but this isn't a Marvel Studios movie after all! Either way, Merchant's role remains a mystery, but it seems like he'll be helping Wolverine care for the older Professor Xavier.
Honestly, this is a little odd, but Fox has never paid much attention to continuity and with so much postive buzz now surrounding this release, we still have an awful lot to be excited about here.
Regardless, you can check out a new image of this take on the character - via @Kellvin_Chavez - below.
Logan stars Hugh Jackman, Dafne Keen, Boyd Holbrook, Richard E. Grant, Stephen Merchant, and Patrick Stewart. It's currently set to be released on March 3rd, 2017, so stick to CBM for updates.
