AceShowbiz - There may be a new "X-Men" character joining Hugh Jackman in "The Wolverine 3". Central Casting is looking for stand-ins and photo doubles on "Juarez," the code name for the as-yet-unnamed Wolverine 3.
The casting call are looking for shorter "Caucasian, Hispanic and Asian looking females over the age of 21," specifically at a height of 4'-4'11" and size 0-4 with dark brown hair as stand-ins as well as girls of the same ethnicity, but between 6-13 at around the same heights for photo doubles.
"If you fit the description above, please submit a recent photo along with your name, contact phone number, and location to [email protected] with DOUBLE/STAND-IN in the subject line," read the casting call.
According to SuperHeroHype, X-23 will be making her feature film debut in "Wolverine 3", possibly as Logan's successor.
X-23 or Laura Kinney made her comic book debut in 2004, after originally being conceived and debuting in the animated series "X-Men: Evolution". Her origins stem from a group attempting to replicate the Weapon X program, which gave Wolverine his Adamantium skeleton, but later attempt to clone Wolverine outright. The first 22 attempts at cloning Logan failed.
Just like Wolverine, X-23 has superhuman strength, reflexes, agility, and a healing factor. However, she has only two claws on her hands, with an extra that can be popped out of each of her feet. She is a member of the X-Men and X-Force who recently took on the mantle of Wolverine after his death.
"Wolverine 3" is set to hit U.S. theaters on March 3, 2017.
