Long story short:
Curtie Smit-McPhee, who played Nightcrawler in the X-Men series, had to refuse to play another new Marvel role due to scheduling issues.
The Marvel movie "Spider-Man: Homeless" invested and distributed by Sony Pictures has been a great success, and Sony has gradually focused its publicity on "Mobias".
"Mobias" is scheduled to be released in North America on April 1.
In Sony's next plan, another work that has attracted the attention of the media and Marvel fans is "Hunter Cleven".
"Hunter Cleven" is scheduled to be released in January 2023 and is still in the early stages of production, with very little public information.
According to confirmed public information, "Aaron Taylor-Johnson", who played Quicksilver in "Avengers 2", will play the main role "Clevin" in "Hunter Clevin".
Recently, according to THR media news, the future "Russell Crow" who plays Zeus in "Thor 4" will play an unknown role in "Hunter Klevin".
Then, according to the latest news, another young actor of "X-Men" was also invited to participate in the movie "Hunter Cleven".
The news comes from industry journalist "Jeff Snyder":
The reporter revealed:
Curtie Smitt-McPhee, an actor who played Nightcrawler in X-Men: Apocalypse and X-Men: Dark Phoenix, was invited to play the role of "Chameleon" in "Hunter Cleven", but due to scheduling problems, he had to turn down the role.
Chameleon is a villain who can change his appearance at will, and he is often associated with Spider-Man, who appears in the Marvel comic book The Amazing Spider-Man.
Past reports have suggested that Sony has been looking for an actor in his 30s to play the chameleon in Hunter Clevan.
It is worth mentioning that chameleons are also Clevin's half-brothers, and there are rumors that this movie is mainly about family, so having chameleons as villains will definitely bring some family farce.
