Feb 21 2008Monaghan Joins 'Wolverine' as Beak
When it was announced earlier this week that Wolverine's solo film wouldn't be quite so solo, featuring a cast that includes Ryan Reynolds as Deadpool, Taylor Kitsch as Gambit, will.i.am as John Wraith, Liev Schreiber as Sabretooth, Danny Huston as Stryker, and Lynn Collins as Silver Fox, most people had the same reaction: couldn't they squeeze in some more characters? Heck yeah they can! Just Jared reports Lost's Dominic Monaghan will join the cast as Beak, another b-side of a character who's been mutated into a somewhat bird-like form.
This addition to the cast should help those who might have otherwise been overwhelmed by so many more obscure Marvel characters. Now they have a real classic character to latch on to: Beak. Classic character, Beak. Classic.

Some guy from "Lost"? Isn't that a reality TV show or something, where they vote each other off the island? That guy looks like Merry from the Lord of the Rings to me. I wonder if this "Beak" character was invented just to joke about his large nose and oddly-shaped face...

Bleah, caught between the knowledge that htis movie is just a clusterf*ck focus group searching for their next franchise, and the happiness that some of my fav actors are getting work.

He's 6'3", and if you think he's fat, you must be emaciated.
Besides, he's obviously going to bulk up & get ripped for the role.
The fact that he was cast means the character will be portrayed properly, & not as a giant mongoloid version of Ted Nugent, like in the original.
