Having a hard time waiting until "X-Men: First Class" hits theaters on June 3? The team behind the film is doing their best to make the wait a little bit easier by bringing you access to the stars.
Edi Gathegi and Caleb Landry Jones, who play the evolutionary-inclined Darwin and piercing-voiced Banshee respectively, have taken to Facebook to tackle questions from the fans. Jones admitted that he thought his audition was “absolutely terrible,” though others must not have thought so.
When asked what makes Banshee such a cool character, he replied, “His naively destructive personality sprinkled with wit.”
Over in his interview, Gathegi was asked if he had more freedom to portray his character because Darwin is relatively new. “I think everyone in the cast has a certain responsibility to maintain the integrity of the characters they are portraying as seen in the comics,” he answered. “With that said, we are actors, human beings, portraying these characters, so inevitably we have to make the characters our own. Bring them to life in our own unique way. Hopefully we strike a happy medium of what's expected, and a surprise unique personal take to really make our characters come to life on the screen as live action.”
That sounds pretty fancy, but Gathegi also joked about wanting to date Mystique and have “blue reactive adaptive rug rats.” Asked if he was a fan of Darwin since a young age, Gathegi said, “D-money wasn't around when I was a young buck. But if he were you better believe he would have been my favorite. It was all about Wolverine when I was younger. I'm totally on the Darwin bandwagon now. His possibilities are literally endless. Limitless.”
