It's been quiet on the X-Men Origins: Wolverine front -- too quiet. I demand a new publicity still! But since Hugh Jackman doesn't listen to me (and why should he?), this is all I've got for you.

There's been a new casting addition. According to his personal website, British actor Scott Adkins has landed the role of Weapon 11. What a hodgepodge of comics this is going to be! Weapon 11 first showed up in Grant Morrison's New X-Men series, which turned the whole Weapon X story inside out. Turns out, Logan wasn't just Weapon X because it sounded cool -- he was the tenth in a long line of Weapon Plus experimental super soldiers. It caused a bit of controversy and still does, especially as various Marvel characters are revealed to be Weapon Gazillion in every other issue.

The odd thing is, no one knows who Weapon 11 actually is. We just know he is a badass who has managed to beat Sabretooth senseless, which is no small feat. But now we know it was a guy named Scott Adkins. Mystery solved!

The X-Men Origins: Wolverine roster grows bigger.

Variety has confirmed the addition of Dominic Monaghan we reported earlier and added a new face to the mix: Daniel Henney as Agent Zero.

The addition of this character confirms that Wolverine will deal with a Team X storyline, and possibly gives away what Deadpool is doing here. Agent Zero, who has the power of absorbing kinetic energy through impact, was one of the mutant operatives that Weapon X experimented on. Thankfully, his stories were a little cooler, as he took on East Germans and Russian super soldiers alongside Wolverine and Sabretooth. (And speaking of Russian super soldiers -- who wants to take bets Omega Red is cast by next week?)

This still fails to explain what Gambit is doing in Wolverine. And Beak? It's like the writers made a list of Marvel characters Wolverine talked to once, attached it to a board, and threw darts at it. It is pretty hard to make an origin story more convoluted than the one Wolverine already boasts, but it really looks like the filmmakers are going to try. Should we just be glad that they're skipping Wolverine: Origin where he was re-imagined as a Bronte character?
