Banshee X-Men: First Class Film

Banshee To Be Introduced In Upcoming X-Men: First Class Film

Caleb Landry Jones will play Banshee in 20th Century Fox's origins pic "X-Men: First Class," marking the first time the mutant has been introduced to the bigscreen franchise.

Banshee (Sean Cassidy) is a fictional character, a Marvel Comics superhero who operates as a member of the X-Men.

An Irish mutant, Banshee possesses a "sonic scream," capable of harming enemies’ auditory systems and causing physical vibrations. He is named after the banshee, a legendary ghost from Irish mythology, said to possess a powerful cry, although the banshee spirit is invariably female.

A former Interpol agent and NYPD officer, Banshee was always a decade older than most of the X-Men and had only a relatively short tenure as a full-time X-Man. He was, however, a mentor of the 1990s-era junior team Generation X.

And in a second key casting, Nicholas Hoult will play Beast.

James MacAvoy and Michael Fassbender topline "First Class," directed by Matthew Vaughn.

Conceived by Bryan Singer and written by Jane Goldman, "First Class" introduces Charles Xavier (MacAvoy) and Erik Lensherr (Fassbender) as young men, when discovering their powers for the first time and before taking the names Professor X and Magneto, respectively.

Jones stars in David Fincher's upcoming "The Social Network," from Sony, and Eli Roth's "The Last Exorcism," from Lionsgate. Previous credits include "No Country for Old Men" and CBS pilot "Gimme Shelter," from producer John Wells.

Hoult, who starred in Tom Ford's "A Single Man" and was named one of Variety's "Actors to Watch," also is set to star in Warner Bros.' "Mad Max: Fury Road." Previous credits also include "About a Boy," opposite Hugh Grant.

Sex Tape Review: Overly Sexual, Rude, Vulgar, and Absolutely Hilarious

The raunchy Sex Tape will divide audiences and critics, but who cares? Sex Tape suggests a growing practice among loving partners: that of making a raunchy testament of their escapades for posterity. But what happens when that evidence gets seen by friends, neighbors, and even the mailman? This is the plot that pits Jay (Jason Segel) and Annie (Cameron Diaz) in an effort to secure every iPad gift Jay has given, his record company playlists being the envy of the recipients, but which has also inadvertently spread the video to every device. The reason for the act - termed in the movie as pulling "the full Lincoln " for its three-hour length - stems from the couple's non-existent social life, brought on by the constant demands of their children. The couple has a lot to lose: a burgeoning business relationship between Annie and Hank (Rob Lowe) could end if the iPad she's given to Hank exposes the video, and so the couple sets out to reclaim and wipe the incrim
