Another member joins the already growing all-star cast of mutants in Brian Singer’s next X-Men flick.
[dropcap size=small]W[/dropcap]hat better confirmation than straight from the source? Director Bryan Singer has confirmed that Ben Hardy will be playing Warren Worthington III or better known as Angel in the upcoming X-Men: Apocalypse.
“Ben Hardy is Angel – I shall confirm it for you! But he’s not a very nice Angel! And that’s all I’ll say…”
Singer gives us some insight into the character, along with some concept art. Take a looksie:

There has long been speculation on Ben Hardy donning the Angel’s wings but we are nearing the film’s production, so it was just a matter of time. The concept art above shows less feather-like wings and ones that are more blade-like. Personally, I’m partial to the snowy, white feathery wings but this, perhaps, will give the character a darker appeal. Will Ben Hardy trump Ben Foster as Angel?

X-Men: Apocalypse, starring Michael Fassbender, Jennifer Lawrence, and James McAvoy, is due on my 28th birthday – May 19th, 2016.
