For those of us who saw SCORPION KING, this isn't unexpected. Kelly Hu, who played the shapely sorceress in KING, has just signed onto X2 (X-MEN 2) as Anne, the right-hand woman of the main baddie, Striker (who hasn't yet been cast).
She's just the latest edition to the cast, along with newcomers Aaron Stanford as Pyro, Alan Cumming as the Nightcrawler.
The full original cast of Patrick Stewart (Professor X), Hugh Jackman (Wolverine), Halle Berry (Storm), Ian McKellen (Magneto), Anna Paquin (Rogue), James Marsden (Cyclops) Famke Janssen (Dr. Jean Grey) and Rebecca Romijn-Stamos (Mystique) are all returning as well.
