Even though X-Men: First Class has been shooting for a few months now, cast members are still being added. Ray Wise, best known for his iconic turn as Leland Palmer in Twin Peaks and The Devil in Reaper among many other roles, announced at a Twin Peaks homage event last night that he will be joining the cast, and revealed his role too..
"I'm playing the Secretary of State of the United States. I'll be going over there in the next couple of weeks,"
"I love Matthew. And Bryan Singer's producing it and [it's got] a great cast – James McAvoy, January Jones, Oliver Platt."
While speaking to IGN, Wise also revealed that he would likely be involved in some special effects sequences in the movie..
"Well, I think I touch on them, yeah, a bit."
A fine addition to an already impressive cast I'm sure you will agree. Cue Fox hate!
