Ben Foster is Angel
One of the coolest scenes to be shown so far for X-Men 3 is when Angel whips open his wings. Playing one of the many new mutants for the X-Men film franchise, Ben Foster talks about having wings and what it takes to do your own stunts.
Ben Foster on X-Men 3
MTV recently caught up with Ben Foster and got him to discuss his role as Angel in X-Men 3. Foster tells that many of the new mutants have two to three film contracts with 20th Century Fox for more X-Men films. Though it has been said that X-Men 3 will close out the Bryan Singer trilogy-- with Brett Ratner now behind the camera --there could still be many X-Men films to come.
Below is a snippet from the report with Ben Foster:
"Archangel is not a crystal-meth-addict skinhead," the affable young star grinned, comparing his "X-Men" role to his "Alpha Dog" one. "I just get to fly around all day. I think the fans are gonna be pleased."
"My favorite action scene playing Angel was my first flying scene," he continued. "The cool thing about this particular 'X-Men' is that we're doing our own stunts. So if you see Halle Berry flying through the air, or you see [Hugh Jackman], if you see him moving entirely too fast or if you see me flying, that's us doing it. We're using some of the most cutting-edge wire work available, so I was doing 80-foot drops headfirst, attached to basically just a jockstrap and a metal wire. Free-fall to fly."
We recently posted a nice set of images of Ben Foster as Angel HERE.
