Maisie Williams

Maisie Williams Has Been Cast In The X-Men Universe Alongside TV Sis Sophie Turner

Maisie will star in the new X-Men spinoff movie!

Friday, May 12, 2017 - 09:58

The X-Men universe just added another Game Of Thrones star to its ensemble, with Maisie Williams (AKA Arya Stark) signing up to join the cast for New Mutants. That’s both of the Stark girls now on mutant duty, with TV sis Sophie Turner having joined the main X-Men franchise already as a young Jean Grey.

Williams has signed up to play Wolfsbane in the new movie, which will be an adaptation of the classic X-Men spin-off series of the same name. In case you hadn’t guessed, Wolfsbane’s mutant ability is the power to transform into a wolf, or a kind of half-human half-wolf combo. And much like Arya Stark, she’s a total badass.

Marvel

She’ll be lining up alongside The Witch star Anya Taylor-Joy, who will be playing Magik, the teleporting little sister of Colossus. No word as yet on who might be playing fellow team members Mirage, Warlock, Cannonball or Sunspot, but expect that to change in the coming weeks.

Fox

Directed by Josh Boone, with James McAvoy rumoured to be reprising his role as Professor X, X-Men: The New Mutants will open in the UK on 13 April 2018.

Buffy The Vampire Slayer: Where Are They Now?

Sarah Michelle Gellar (Buffy Summers) Then: In an era where most female characters were damsels in distress, Buffy was a total badass. When she wasn’t slaying vamps she was dealing with her long-lost sister, her obnoxiously happy roommate and dying. Twice

Nicholas Brendon (Xander Harris) Then: The lovable goofball who was always tripping over his own love life. First, he had a crush on Bufz, then got with rich girl Cordelia before having a brief fling with BFF Willow. He was a dweeb with some serious moves

David Boreanaz (Angel) Then: Buffy fell for brooding vampire Angel, but sadly their relationship was always strained what with him not being able to hang out when the sun was up or have sex without him turning evil. Not ideal tbh.

20th Century Fox

9 of 26

Now: David went straight on to the Buffy spin off Angel and then landed a role as FBI agent Booth on Bones, which is still going to this day! He’s married to fellow actress Jaime Bergman and they have two kids.

Charisma Carpenter (Cordelia Chase) Then: Spoilt and rich, cheerleader Cordelia and our girl Buffy weren’t exactly best pals. An agent of The Powers That Be, she ultimately joins the Scooby Gang to help keep Sunnydale safe.

20th Century Fox

20th Century Fox

13 of 26

Now: She recently appeared as an FBI agent in Supergirl and returned to her role as the blind witch in Once Upon A Time. She also writes for Entertainment Weekly and had her first child earlier this year.

Amber Benson (Tara Maclay) Then: Tara was a lovable witch and her relationship with Willow was remarkably healthy given the shows other romances! Sadly Tara came to a very sad end which Buffy fans are still cut up over.

20th Century Fox

15 of 26

Now: On a Reddit AMA a year ago Amber said she’s largely quit acting. She is focused on writing and directing her own films (drones) as well as writing fantasy novels.

James Marsters (Spike) Then: Spike started off as a baddie with bad intentions for Buffy. Somehow the pair worked things out and he fell in love with her, reacquiring his soul to prove his love. So romantic.

20th Century Fox

17 of 26

Now: Since Spike he’s played an alien supervillain in Smallville, an omnisexual time traveller in Torchwood and a terrorist in Caprica. He’s married with one child from a previous marriage.

Seth Green (Daniel Osbourne) Then: Oz was one cool werewolf. He arrived on the scene in S2 when he needed a bit of help dealing with his fairly large monthly transformation!

20th Century Fox

19 of 26

Now: Seth was fairly well established pre-Buffy and that’s continued. He’s frequently heard rather than seen e.g. Chris Griffin in Family Guy. He also created Robot Chicken with his wife and fellow actor Clare Grant.

Instagram / @robiascott

22 of 26

David Bryan Woodside (Robin Wood) Then: The vegetarian headmaster at Sunnydale Highschool Buffy isn’t 100% on. And not without good reason, too. Spike killed his mother and Robin was on a retribution mission (it didn’t work out – phew).

20th Century Fox

23 of 26

Now: He left Buffy with a whopper of a role – chief of staff Wayne Palmer on 24. He’s also appeared in Grey’s Anatomy, Lie to Me and Suits. Most recently he was cast as Amenadiel in Lucifer. He has a daughter with actress Golden Brooks.

Twitter / @TheReal_Db

24 of 26

Bianca Lawson (Kendra Young) Then: And then there were two slayers. Kendra had a textbook solid knowledge of slaying and thought that Buffy’s socialising was irresponsible. Of course that all changed after some time hanging out with the Scooby Gang.

20th Century Fox

25 of 26

Now: She might have met her end in Buffy, but Bianca basically hasn’t aged. She’s played a teen in Pretty Little Liars and Teen Wolf and more recently she was cast as a recovering drug addict in the series Queen Sugar.

26 Celeb Couples Who Fell In Love On Set

Emma Stone & Andrew Garfield - Andrew’s spidey senses were definitely tingling when Hollywood’s are-they-aren't-they couple met during a screen test for The Amazing Spider-Man: “It was like I woke up when she came in". Our hearts are melting.

1 of 26

Kristen Stewart & Robert Pattinson - It was apparently their "electric" chemistry that sealed Robert’s role in the Twilight saga, where work turned into real-life dating and Robsten was born. Sadly they split in 2013 after Kristen was caught cheating.

2 of 26

BLAKE LIVELY & RYAN REYNOLDS - Blake was dating her Gossip Girl co-star Penn & Ryan was married to Scarlett Johansson when the pair met on the set of Green Lantern. After Ryan’s divorce, they became a thing & have been giving us couple envy ever since.

3 of 26

TAYLOR SWIFT & TAYLOR LAUTNER - Taylor caught the pop star’s eye when the pair met in a dressing room for rom-com Valentine's Day. It wasn’t the longest of relationships, but it was believed to be documented by Swifty in her song ‘Back To December’.

4 of 26

Nina Dobrev & Ian Somerhalder - The pair were bitten (er, we mean smitten) on the set of Vampire Diaries in 2009 and became the TVD power couple that fans swooned over for three years. It didn't last, but at least they've stayed friends!

5 of 26

MILEY CYRUS & LIAM HEMSWORTH - They first met on the set of The Last Song and started dating soon after. They’ve had their fair share of breakups (including a called-off engagement), but thankfully they’ve come out the other side. We ship Liley forever.

6 of 26

Vanessa Hudgens & Zac Efron - We knew it could be the ‘Start Of Something New’ when they duetted in High School Musical, and eventually their love story on screen translated into real-life luuuurve. We’re still mourning Zanessa since their 2010 split.

7 of 26

ANGELINA JOLIE & BRAD PITT - Ange confessed they ‘fell in love’ on the set of Mr. and Mrs Smith while Brad was married to Jen Aniston. After a decade of what we assumed was wedded bliss, Brangelina shocked us all when they called time on their love.

8 of 26

CHANNING TATUM & JENNA DEWAN-TATUM - After all that dancing up against each other in Step Up, we weren’t surprised to see the couple hitting it off. We guess the rest is just #RelationshipGoals because they’re now happily married with a daughter.

9 of 26

Sophia Bush & Chad Michael Murray - They went from co-stars to couple on the set of One Tree Hill, but much like their characters Brooke & Lucas, they weren’t meant to be. Following their divorce, Sophia said: “We were two stupid kids”. Heart = broken.

10 of 26

JENNIFER LAWRENCE & NICHOLAS HOULT - The X-Men: First Class co-stars began dating in 2010. They were always private about the whole shebang, but after their breakup they had nothing but good things to say about each other which we think is very mature.

11 of 26

AMBER HEARD & JOHNNY DEPP - Being on-screen lovers in Rum Diary brought the pair together, but they didn’t end up dating until years later. It all came to a dramatic end after Amber accused Johnny of domestic abuse & filed for divorce.

12 of 26

RYAN GOSLING & RACHEL MCADAMS - For a couple who had a ridiculous amount of chemistry on-screen (that make-out sesh in the rain, GAH), it would have been weird if these two didn’t get it on IRL. And they did, for several years. We still ship them.

13 of 26

KALEY CUOCO & JOHNNY GALECKI - Penny and Leonard secretly dated for almost two years whilst filming The Big Bang Theory, showing that the science geek and the pretty girl from across the hall really do have a chance with each other IRL.

14 of 26

BEN AFFLECK & JENNIFER GARNER - “We met on Pearl Harbor, which people hate, but we fell in love on Daredevil”, confessed Jen, who first started dating Ben in 2004. For 10 years we shipped Bennifer & were too shocked to even shed tears when they divorced.

15 of 26

BLAKE LIVELY & PENN BADGLEY - We all know how Gossip Girl ended (SPOILER ALERT: Serena & Dan lived happily ever after) but the co-star's real-life relationship didn’t last. But good news - Blake is now married to Ryan Reynolds & Penn recently got hitched.

16 of 26

RYAN GOSLING & EVA MENDES - It was because of Ryan that Eva got the part in The Place Beyond The Pines after telling the director to meet with her. What he didn’t know was that years later, they’d be married with two children. Dreamy, right?

17 of 26

DEV PATEL & FRIEDA PINTO - The pair met on the set of Slumdog Millionaire & broke up after six years dating. Luckily, Dev admitted they’re both still best friends: “We shared a very beautiful experience together. I’ll always have great respect for her”.

18 of 26

EMILY VANCAMP & JOSHUA BOWMAN - It's interesting to hear how one of the most dramatic on-screen couples (try being shot by your husband) manages to leave all that Revenge drama aside. Emily revealed: “We’re actors. None of that lives in any of us!" Phew.

19 of 26

JENNIFER ANISTON & VINCE VAUGHN - Ironically, the pair became close while filming The Break-Up, where they played a couple with marriage issues. Vince confessed the reason for their own break up was spending his time trying not to be drawn into the media.

20 of 26

RACHEL BILSON & ADAM BRODY - Rach dated total heartthrob & on-screen bae Adam during the 1st season of The OC & they were together for 2 years. Since then, Adam decided that he liked Gossip Girl more & married Leighton Meister/ Blair Waldorf instead.

21 of 26

MEGAN FOX & SHIA LABEOUF - Rumours circulated about Shia & Megan getting it on whilst working together in Transformers. He admitted to them hooking while she was potentially still involved with Brian Austin Green, who she married in 2010. Eeeek.

22 of 26

KIT HARINGTON & ROSE LESLIE - Ever since playing lovers on Game Of Thrones, Kit and Rose drove fans crazy over their are-they-aren’t-they relationship. Their PDA-filled red carpet outings make our insides melt.

23 of 26

JENNIFER ANISTON & JUSTIN THEROUX - Jen didn’t have great first impressions of Justin: ”I remember thinking he was very dark. At first you think he could be like a serial killer, but he is actually the nicest person in the world." Happily ever after.

24 of 26

ANNA PAQUIN & STEPHEN MOYER - They met during the auditions for True Blood & kept their off-screen relationship a secret for nearly 2 years. Stephen’s character (SPOILER ALERT) died in the series finale & Anna found someone else, but they’re married IRL.

25 of 26

DANIEL CRAIG & RACHEL WEISZ - Rachel got the hots for Dan when they acted as husband and wife in the ghost story, Dream House. Yet they had known each other since their early twenties. She's still his real-life Bond girl for lyf.
