After that insane flood of Wolverine news, they've gotten down to business down in Australia, and everything is under tight wraps after that Sabretooth leak.

Dominic Monaghan was recently on Jay Leno and revealed he was all finished with his role. He didn't reveal much, not even what Beak was doing in a Wolverine origin film, but he did praise Hugh Jackman's dedication to his impressive physique. "I don't think I've ever seen a guy in real life look that good. We were doing a scene at night where he was doing press-ups. Not to get his biceps or his shoulders bigger, but to get the veins on his biceps and shoulders bigger." Of slightly more interest, film wise, is Monaghan's vague description of a scene he was filming with Jackman, who showed his dedication was not just for his own muscles. "We did a night shoot where essentially our gang was looking at the back of his head while walking away and he stayed until 6am," the actor continued to say. "He's there for us and I was so impressed with him as a guy."

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?

With most of the mutants, they get some funky superpower mutation and look cool -- whether they can hide it until they need it, like Wolverine, or whether it just results in some super-sexy white hair like Rogue. Then, you get dudes like Beak -aka- Barnell Bohusk. He starts turning into a humanoid bird and feels freakish and ashamed. (And some of the others thought they had it bad...)

Well, if Just Jared is right, Beak is in 20th Century Fox's X-Men Origins: Wolverine, and he'll be played by Dominic Monaghan. He's certainly a man who gets around, between helping to save the world in Hobbit form and being quite Lost. And while this sequel originally seemed to be a lone Logan sort of feature, it's become quite the X-Men extravaganza.

As for Beak's story -- he was a kid born in the Netherlands whose puberty was particularly rough. As Wikipedia describes it: "His body changed into that of a humanoid-bird form, with a beaked face, bulbous eyes, wing-like arms that give him the ability to fly (albeit clumsily), talons on his hands and feet, and double-jointed knees." He went into hiding over his appearance, and then found his way to the Xavier Institute. I'm not sure how he'll fit into this story, but he did take over Wolverine's shack to house his winged babies with Angel Salvadore, so maybe that'll come into play.

As a die-hard Lost fan, I'm going to miss "Charlie" (or as Claire says, "CHAHlee"), the character played by Dominic Monaghan. But at least I'll get to see the actor return to the big screen in Pet. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Monaghan has been cast as the lead in the psychological thriller, in which he plays a deranged animal shelter employee who kidnaps his teenage crush and obsessively holds her captive as his pet. The only other plot point provided by the trade is that the woman he's imprisoned is "not who she seems to be." That could mean anything, from her being an alien to her being a shape-shifter who turns into an actual animal to her being something more realistic, such as a female "MacGyver" who ends up escaping her cage and wrecking vengeance on "Seth", as Monaghan's character is called.

For Monaghan, Pet seems like a big step further into unlikable roles. Most of us became familiar with the actor as one of the lovable Hobbits in the Lord of the Rings trilogy. Then we fell for his flawed rocker on Lost, though except for in the very end, we were made to lose favor for "Charlie", as he continually lied, shot up heroin and acted like a spoiled little bitch. Then he frustrated many male Lost fans by becoming the unlikely boyfriend of his co-star Evangeline Lilly (I'm unsure if they are still a couple -- anyone know?). Now as a creepy "Buffalo Bill" type, he's sure to lose even more of his appeal -- at least on screen, anyway. Pet begins shooting sometime in the next few months under the direction of Irish filmmaker Edna Enda McCallion (at least I think she's the director, the trade doesn't make it entirely clear), who can be seen in this clip giving a behind-the-scenes look at the making of his music video for the Nine Inch Nails song "Deep".
