Edi Cathegi Joins X-Men: First Class
Wed, July 28, 2010 
It looks like someone from Twilight scored an X-Men: First Class role. Unfortunately for Fox, it isn't Taylor Lautner.
Matthew Vaughn & Co. will just have to settle with Edi Cathegi, according to "TOLDJA!"
The actor (who played one of the baddie blood-suckers in the first two Twilights) has been cast as Darwin, who's notable for being the first bi-racial mutant introduced in the comics. His muttie ability involves the "power of 'reactive evolution.'" My first thought was he was introduced during the Chris Claremont years. A quick Wikipedia search tells your never-so-humble correspondent it was only four years ago.
Production should be starting anytime now in London. Fox has the Bryan Singer-produced prequel locked in for June 3, 2011 release.
