X-MEN: APOCALYPSE Will Apparently Feature 'The Blob'
And you thought this movie was already bursting at the seams with mutants! Though he probably won't feature very heavily, it seems Fred J. Dukes, AKA The Blob, will indeed be throwing his weight around in Bryan Singer's X-Men: Apocalypse. Click on for the skinny..
According to the Instagram (via CB) post below, The Blob will appear in X-Men: Apocalypse. Exactly what Benjamin Malartre Bureau was doing on the set of the film we're not sure, but apparently he spent time with the actors playing Angel, Mystique, Nightcrawler, Beast, and our massive immovable friend.
This character actually appeared in X-Men: Origins Wolverine as played by The Strain actor Kevin Durand, but instead of having his comic book counterparts mutant abilities he just... ate a lot. Don't expect a fat-suit or CGI this time though, as according to Bureau the actor playing Dukes in Apocalypse is an unnamed "540 lbs French-Canadian dude."
Directed by Bryan Singer, X-Men: Apocalypse stars Jennifer Lawrence (Mystique), James McAvoy (Professor X), Michael Fassbender (Magneto), Nicholas Hoult (Beast), Alexandra Shipp (Storm), Sophie Turner (Jean Grey), with Tye Sheridan (Cyclops), with Kodi Smit-McPhee (Nightcrawler), Rose Byrne (Moira MacTaggert), Oscar Isaac (Apocalypse) and many others. The movie opens on May 27, 2016.
