U.K. news service Sky had this report about Vinnie Jones, who’s playing Juggernaut in X-Men 3:

"He's played mean men in Swordfish, Snatch and Lock, Stock And Two Smoking Barrels.

"Now Vinnie Jones is set to do it all over again - in a four-stone latex suit.

"Ex-footballer toughie Vinnie's going to whoop it up in X-Men 3 alongside the gorgeous Famke Janssen - who's resurrected from the dead as Phoenix after character Jean Grey died in the second movie..

"He'll play yet another baddie, the Hulk-style Juggernaut - who's 7ft tall and weighs in at 65 stone. Despite Vinnie's pretty solid frame, he'll need to beef up even more with a massive latex suit for full impact.

"Hugh Jackman Sir Ian McKellen and Patrick Stewart are also back as Wolverine, Magneto and Prof Charles Xavier.

"In the comics, Cain Marko - aka Juggernaut - is the step-brother of Professor Xavier, transformed into an unstoppable machine bent on destroying his sibling.

"A source said: 'Vinnie thinks it's a great laugh and can't wait to get into the suit.'

"Filming starts later this year."
