Deadline named Platt and offered up The Man in Black as his character, stating only that he’s not a mutant, and not a lot else. There’s no obvious comic book equivalent so speculation is rife about what role Platt will be taking in the story – will he line up alongside Kevin Bacon’s villain?
Platt is always interesting whatever he’s in, and I can’t wait for the finalised cast to line up in front of the press as it’ll be a strange and eclectic mix.
Here’s the entire casting saga so far, three weeks until shooting begins which means there could be another twenty or so names announced before then.
