Will I Am

This rapper from the Black Eyed Peas fame is flying high with his debut movie appearance in X-Men Origins: Wolvervine. This is a real career high for the rapper who is surely not satisfied with shelling out some chart topping albums or producing Michael Jackson’s new album.

The movie to be filmed in New Zealand has the frontman from Black Eyed Peas playing a teleporting mutant who can work with high level explosives. His character Wraith is the subject of a test program called Weapon X that created Wolvervine played by actor Hugh Jackman. The movie is set to release in May 1st, 2009. Other actors to give the rapper company would be stars like Taylor Kitsch and Ryan Reynolds. Will.i.am has also been in the news recently for his pro-Obama video “Yes We Can” that’s a follow up to the hugely popular “We Are The Ones”. Some of the well known stars who featured in this video include names like Malcolm Jamal Warner, George Lopez, Ryan Phillipe, Kerry Washington and Jessica Alba.
