X-Men Origins: Wolverine Wraps Principal Photography
Marvel's Kevin Feige told IESB that X-Men Origins: Wolverine has just wrapped principal photography in Australia and that there are only a couple of weeks left for some pick up shots second unit will be taking care of.
Several sources close to the production have described X-Men Origins: Wolverine as a gritty 70's type of action film.
Cyclops to appear in X-Men Origins: Wolverine
Latest news on the net indicates that Cyclops is going to be appearing in X-Men Origins: Wolverine
Australian actor Tim Pockock will be playing a young Scott Summers in the film. Considering that the first meeting between Cyclops and Wolverine seemed to occur in the first X-Men, it seems a little odd to have the characters meet in this movie - especially since Cyclops isn't supposed to be nearly as old as Logan.

Taylor Kitsch set to play Gambit
Superherohype is reporting that Taylor Kitsch has been cast as Gambit in the forthcoming Wolverine movie, confirming months of rumours that the character will make an appearance.

Part for The Blob in X-Men Origins:Wolverine
Sources close to the production of the movie, X-Men Origins:Wolverine have said that test footage has already been shot for the inclusion of The Blob with an actor in a rubber suit. Apparently, the suit makes him look like he is 800 lbs, but the producers of the film wanted to make him even bigger, something like 1200 lbs.
The Blob, one of the characters from the original X-Men comics (first appearing in 1964 in X-Men #3) would be one of an ever increasing list of cameos that this film promises to throw up...

Christian Clark bags role in X-Men Origins:Wolverine
Australian actor Christian Clark accidentally confirmed his involvement in X-Men Origins:Wolverine, starring Hugh Jackman.
The Adelade Advisor says that Clark was "momentarily caught off-guard when asked about X-Men Origins:Wolverine, and inadvertently confirms his involvement, before realising the gag order in his contract prevents him from doing so or talking about it any further."
Clark is best known for his role as Will Griggs in Aussie soap, Neighbours.

Baily Chase to play Gambit?
Bailey Chase told the Sunday Star Times of New Zealand that he's lining up an opportunity to play a role in the upcoming 'X-Men Origins: Wolverine'
"It's very confidential and top-secret. I think they're casting under alias names but for now, he's called Mr Yellow. He's about 30 years old, a charming southern guy on the surface but he's got some ulterior motives going on underneath. By the end of the film, he's probably not going to be such a nice guy."
Could this be Gambit?
Schreiber set to play Sabretooth
Despite earlier rumours that Liev Schreiber was going to appear as Stryker, it now appears (according to almost every site following the movie) that he will take the role of Sabretooth.
CHUD.com also reports rumours that the movie producers are hunting down Michelle Monaghan for the role of Silver Fox.

Interview with Wolverine Screenwriter, David Benioff
The following is an extract of an interview "Coming Soon" conducted with David Benioff, screenwriter for X-Men Origins: Wolverine...
CS: I've read a couple pages of the "Wolverine" script which has to be about a year old. Have you stayed involved with that up until they started shooting?
Benioff: I haven't been working on "Wolverine" since... I mean, it's been a while since the last draft, but they brought on other writers starting in like September or something, so I haven't seen whatever the shooting draft is, so I don't know exactly what it is. I think they're supposed to start shooting in January in Australia, but I have not been really in the loop on that one anymore.
CS: I'm a comic book fan myself, so did you spend a lot of time reading comics and trying to distill his origin, which is not exactly the easiest one to adapt. You got "Kite Runner" down to two hours but Wolverine has had so many origins over the years. There's a lot of them out there.
Benioff: Yeah, it will be interesting, because I know that changes have been made, so I don't know how they're handling... I don't know what's exactly in the present draft of the script, so I'm curious to see it when it gets made, but yes, I grew up a huge comic book fan. Where I grew up on Yorkville and 86th on the East End, there was a comic store called Action Comics on like 84th and 2nd, and I was there every week. Wolverine was always my favorite character, because at that time at least, most of the superheroes were still these square-jawed righteous do-gooders, and then along comes this cigar-chomping, hard-drinking rowdy little Canadian guy and I just loved him from the beginning. It was the one comic book adaptation that I always wanted to do, and I really went after it. I went into Marvel and just really pursued it aggressively.
[POSSIBLE SPOILER] CS: I love the opening scene where he's a kid being getting picked on by the bigger kids…
Benioff: Yeah, me too. That's my scene and I don't know if it's in the present draft or not. That was mine, but I don't know if that will be in the actual movie. [SPOILER ENDS]

Casting Rumours - Kayla and Deadpool
The latest X-Men Origins: Wolverine casting rumor that director Gavin Wood wants Natalie Portman for the role of ‘Kayla’.
In addition, Ryan Reynolds(Van Wilder, Blade: Trinity) has been linked to the role of Deadpool. In the comicbooks, Weapon X cured his terminal cancer by implementing a regenerative "healing factor" extracted from Wolverine, but this leaves Deadpool disfigured and mentally unstable. As a character know for his wisecracks, black humor and satirical pop-culture references, Reynolds would be a obvious chioce for this role.

Finally a possible appearance for Gambit?
Rumours are rapidly spreading across the net of an appearance of one of the most overlooked X-Men in the movie franchise - Gambit! Although most of the film is due to be shot in Australia and New Zealand, there are also reports of New Orleans being used as a location, leading the Gambit fanbase to start speculating.
Possibly Josh Holloway ("Sawyer" from Lost), who was rumored to be playing Gambit at some point in the franchise, may make a long overdue appearance on the silver screen? Here's hoping!

Casting Rumours - William Stryker
Variety reports that X-Men Origins: Wolverine, has added Liev Schreiber to its cast as William Stryker. Stryker was played by Brian Cox in the second film of the franchise, but as the new film is a prequel of some years, the studio will reportedly use the younger actor to provide a face for the character. This rumour has also appeared on the actor's wikipedia page.
Schreiber became known during the late 1990s and early 2000s, having initially appeared in several independent films, and later mainstream Hollywood films, including the Scream trilogy.
