Written by David Morgan

Dominic Monaghan (Lost, Lord of the Rings) and Daniel Henney (My Name is Kim Sam-soon) are the newest additions to Gavin Hood's X-Men Origins: Wolverine, starring Hugh Jackman. According to The Hollywood Reporter, "Monaghan will play Barnell, a former military ally of Logan with the power to harness energy and electricity. Henney will play Agent Zero, a fellow member of the Weapon X program and an expert tracker with lethal, mutant-enhanced marksman skills." The cast also includes Liev Schreiber, Danny Huston and Taylor Kitsch.

David Benioff wrote the screenplay for the film, which began production earlier this month in New Zealand before moving to Jackman's native Australia. The X-Men spin-off film hits theaters May 1st, 2009.
