Since initial filming is only a few days away, it's time to go into over drive casting-wise with "X-Men: First Class". That's why you shouldn't be so surprised that we're flooding you with a lot of casting news. Although, I do admit, three pieces of X-Men news within the past 24 hours does feel like overkill. Well, this bit of news involves a fine actor in a role of a non-mutant that doesn't exist in the X-Men universe.

Actor Oliver Platt is joining the Matthew Vaughn film, taking on the role of a character known as The Man In Black. No, I'm not kidding, that's the character's actual name. What exactly does he do? No idea, but hopefully we'll be able to find that out soon enough.

"X-Men: First Class" centers on the friendship between Charles Xavier (James McAvoy) and Erik Lensherr (Michael Fassbender) as it gradually deteriorates and the two go their separate ways to form the X-Men and the Brotherhood of Mutants. "First Class" flies into theaters everywhere on June 3rd, 2011. You can check out Oliver Platt on the new Showtime original series "The Big C" starting tonight at 10:30 p.m. PST/EST.
