Shohreh Aghdashloo will play Dr. Kavita Rao, a geneticist who invents a "cure" for mutation, and not Dr. Cecelia Reyes, a mutant physician who can project force shields, as the actress told Entertainment Weekly.
So says IGN who confirmed its story with studio sources and producer Ralph Winter who told Comics Continuum "As far as I know, she is playing Kavita Rao."
Winter also told the Continuum that, "We are in our sixth week now of photography, getting great footage with a script and story we feel is better than ever for the X-Men franchise. ... All of our actors are back, having fun, and we are working hard. It is going to be great."
X-Men 3 opens May 26, 2006.
