Edi Gathegi Playing Darwin in X-Men: First Class

Edi Gathegi, who played the vampire Laurent in Twilight and The Twilight Saga: New Moon, will play a biracial mutant named Darwin in X-Men: First Class, reports Deadline.

Darwin has the power of “reactive evolution,” which allows him to adapt to any situation or environment.
Deadline also reports that Aaron Johnson is still rumored to play the role of Cyclops although EW says Johnson’s he’s not playing Cyclops or any other role in the movie. EW also said that Fox is releasing the names of characters who aren’t in the film so that it will be a surprise for fans when it’s announced which roles the actors are really playing.
