So, who will the man who was once The Devil on The CW series Reaper play, will he be a man or a mutant?

Speaking with IGN -Wise said,

“I’m playing the Secretary of State of the United States. I’ll be going over there in the next couple of weeks. I love (director) Matthew (Vaughn). And Bryan Singer’s producing it and [it’s got] a great cast – James McAvoy, January Jones, Oliver Platt.”

When they asked if he would be in any effects laden scenes – Wise said,

“Well, I think I touch on them, yeah, a bit.”
