Primeval Star Cast In X-Men: First Class

Jason Flemyng will play Azazel, which if the film follows the comic mythology, means he’s Nightcrawlers dad.

Jason Flemyng, Primeval’s Danny Quinn, has just announced that he’ll be playing a teleporter called Azazel in X-Men: First Class.

According to Coming Soon, Flemyng made the announcement at the BFI’s Movie-Con III in London. Flemyng was recently seen in Clash Of The Titans and  in Kick-Ass.  He also played Bernard Quatermass alongside David Tennant in a 2005 BBC remake of the Quatermass Experiment.

In the X-Men comics, Azazel was revealed to be Nightcrawer’s father.

Also according to The Hollywood Reporter, Damages’ Rose Byrne is on the verge of signing on to play Dr Moira McTaggart.
