VH1.com : Movies : Movie News : Ben Foster Spreads His Wings For Archangel Role In 'X-Men 3' (823 words)
Foster was picked from a huge casting call to take on the role of Warren Worthington III, a character who made his debut in the first "Uncanny X-Men" comic book some 40 years ago.
Although Foster is mum when it comes to spoiler-heavy plot details, the fact that he refers to Worthington by his evolved name will undoubtedly feed Internet rumors that his character will go through the "lost wings" story line in the film.
