The first announcement is certainly a smaller one with 10 year old Morgan Lily stepping in as a young Mystique. It kind of surprised me that they have her in the story so young when we also know that Jennifer Lawrence will be playing a teen-aged Mystique in the movie as well.
The second announcement is that 15 year old Bill Milner will be playing a 15 year old Magneto. That may be where little girl Mystique comes in, they do seem to have some serious back story between them. But again, I'm not sure what the angle is.
The third announcement is that Zoe Kravitz, daughter of Lenny and Lisa Bonet, has been cast in the movie. The word is that she will be playing the role of Angel. A character with no connection to any of the characters that we already know.
However, there are strong rumors that this could be a casting misdirect and I've read that some people think that Zoe could be stepping into the role of Storm as played by Halle Berry.
I like that idea.
So there you have it, the second dose of X-Men news for the day.
