New Mutants For X-Men 2


It's been all but confirmed by Fox that Nightcrawler and Pyro would be two of the mutant editions to X Men 2, The (2003). Ethan Embry and Aaron Stanford have been cast as Nightcralwer and Pyro, respectively.

In case you're a newbie, here's a little background info on the two characters.

Nightcrawler (aka Kurt Wagner) will be the next blue-skinned mutant, alongside Mystique, to star in the film. His mutant powers include the ability to teleport himself from place to place leaving behind a cloud of smoke, the smell of brimstone and the famous BAMF! sound.

Pyro (aka John Allerdyce) was actually a villain in the comics (as a member of the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants) but will reportedly play a member of Professor Xavier's school in X2. His mutant gift is the ability to control fire (not generate it) and wears a flame-throwing backpack attached to Spider-Man like shooters on his wrist. He died (in the comics) as a result of the Legacy Virus; a deadly disease that attacked only mutants.
