Will.I.Am, singer of ‘My Humps’ and ‘Don’t Phunk With My Heart’ recently spoke to MTV about his role in X-Men Origins: Wolverine.

“I’m a teleporter. … I’m here, I’m there, I’m everywhere. Boom, boom, boom!” Will revealed. “My character’s name is John Wraith. He’s a black Texan. He’s not a cowboy, but his gear suggests that he is. He’s just a badass who’ll whoop your ass.”
“You see that little scar I’ve got on my knuckles?” he asked, holding up his hand. “I’m a newbie when it comes to big action films and stuff. … It was my fight scene. I was real into it, and then I missed my mark, and I punched the camera and broke the lens!
“But that goes to show you,” he grinned. “I ain’t to be messed with, because I break lenses!”
“It was a really good experience,” Will said of the flick, “It’s my first movie. … And with ‘Madagascar 2,’ I think there has to be an angel or something or my grandma’s prayers guiding that. It’s pretty, pretty dope. And I’m grateful and happy about it all.”

Wolverine is finishing up shooting within the next couple of weeks, so we can expect to see a teaser trailer sometime in the upcoming months.

Will.i.am Talks Wolverine

Will.i.am is currently in the UK promoting his latest musical venture, and while there he spoke to BBC’s Newsbeat about his role in X-Men Origins: Wolverine.

Is it true that you’ve got a part in the new X-Men movie?
I did a good job when I read for the part. I feel real confident about my role and my execution on my role in the movie. I’m Wolverine’s best friend Logan in the movie. I love it. That’s my favourite movie out of all of them. Spider-Man’s cool but I like X-Men. Matrix, Lord of the Rings, X-Men – that order.

We will be able to see if casting a hip hop artist was a good decision next May, or maybe even earlier if he pops up an a trailer.
