Rumor Has It! Caleb Landry Jones Could Play Banshee In X-Men: First Class


Caleb Landry Jones (The Last Exorcism) is reportedly up for the role of Banshee in director Matthew Vaughn‘s (Kick-Ass) forthcoming X-Men film, X-Men: First Class. Landry Jones will be seen in the upcoming horror flick, The Last Exorcism produced by Eli Roth and the young actor played the pivotal role of “Boy on Bike” in No Country for Old Men back in 2007.

According to Latino Review’s trusted sources, “Caleb Landry Jones is the top contender to bag the role of Sean Cassidy aka BANSHEE.” If the rumor holds true, Landry Jones would join a cast that includes Michael Fassbender (Inglourious Basterds), Benjamin Walker (Flags of Our Fathers, The War Boys), James McAvoy (Wanted) and possibly Alice Eve (She’s Out of My League), Amber Heard (Zombieland, Drive Angry 3D) and Rosamund Pike (Surrogates).

X-Men: First Class is slated to hit theaters on June 3rd, 2011.
