"The Wolverine" Japanese DVD Cover
Apparently, there’s a rumor that Shu Qi (The Eye 2, Legend of the Fist) might be following the footsteps of fellow Chinese actress Fan Bingbing (X-Men: Days of Future Past) by appearing in an future X-Men or Wolverine movie.
According to Jaynstars, it was during the filming of a Chinese Toyota commercial with Hugh Jackman (The Wolverine) that the two became close friends. Because of Jackman’s strong ties with Marvel, producers took notice of Qi’s acting abilities and are now pursuing her to portray X-23, a female clone of Wolverine.
Of course, until it’s official, consider this news a rumor. However, when this “rumor” got out, it didn’t stop fans from Photoshoping Qi’s face on the body of an illustrated X-23 (see photo). – Courtesy of ifeng.com.
I kinda see Shu Qi being X-23 if they do decide to put her in a X-Men movie………If that doesn’t happen though, I’d also like to see Summer Glau get the part (Watch Serenity and her bar fight). Nevertheless, either one of them would be good choices.
She’ll be 40 in 2016, Hollywood has lots of magic but I think that’s a little Old to be playing a Teenager.
