Actor Evan Jonigkeit reveals that he will be playing a younger version of Toad in the upcoming X-Men movie.
The mutant roster continues to expand and expand in X-Men: Days of Future Past. Sure, the likes of Anna Paquin’s Rogue might be cut, but that does not mean there aren’t five more mutants to take her place. Indeed, while attending the Girls premiere, actor Evan Jonigkeit revealed that there are even more X-gene endowed critters running around.
While speaking with MTV, Joingkeit confirmed that he will be playing a younger version of Toad, who has previously appeared in the original 2000 Bryan Singer X-Menfilm. Played by Darth Maul actor Ray Park in that superhero progenitor, Toad has been absent in the long-lasting franchise ever since…until now. Jonigkeit even goes into a few vague details about how the part will vary.
“I read a lot of the comic books. I found out the storyline of my character, who is Toad,” Jonigkeit said of getting the part. “X-Men fans will know that Ray Park played him in the first movie, so it's a generation story of how he came to be. It's really cool.”
Jonigkeit also spoke of how the look will somewhat change.
“The aesthetics of the character are much different, and I'm not really allowed to say a whole lot more than that…It's darker. I would say it's a darker tone.”
