X-Men: Apocalypse casts its Nightcrawler
Casting is well underway for X-Men: Apocalypse, most recently the news that Dawn Of The Planet Of The Apes’ Kodi Smit-McPhee will be bamfing into our hearts as Nightcrawler, the teleporting mutant with a severe case of Catholic guilt. Variety says that Smit-McPhee joins returning cast members Jennifer Lawrence, Nicholas Hoult, and Michael Fassbender (and, presumably, James McAvoy as Charles Xavier). Game Of Thrones’ Sophie Turner was also recently cast as a younger Jean Grey in the upcoming X-Men entry, which is set in the ’80s and pits the heroes against the mutant supervillain Apocalypse.
