Omar Sy, of The Intouchables and X-Men: Days of Future Past, is joining Chris Pratt and Idris Elba for a trip to Jurassic World.
Genre fans unfamiliar with Omar Sy’s terrific performance in 2011’s The Intouchables are about to get to know him in a big way. Besides having already been cast as the time-traveling mutant Bishop in this summer’s X-Men: Days of Future Past, Sy has just broken the news himself (via Twitter) that he is headed to Jurassic World.
Proving that life has found a way (as has talent) to make the French actor a big name in Hollywood blockbuster cinema, Sy tweeted, “Fans of this saga from the beginning, I’m proud to be part of the cast for Jurassic World.”
