From Mr. Bean to Wolverine?

Not very well respected Australian singer/actress Natalie Imbruglia is apparently starring in the first X-Men spinoff – the 'Wolverine' movie.

Despite no mention of her role on either her or the movie's IMDB page, an almost certainly unreliable tabloid reckons the former Neighbours actress has a part in the 2009 movie. She's from the same part of the world as Logan actor Hugh Jackman, which is a potential tie between Imbruglia and the movie.

We have no idea whether this is true or not and we certainly have no idea who Natalie might play. She's too old for Jubilee or Kitty Pryde (Wolverine's previous sidekicks), not Asian enough for Deathstryke or Yuriko and not manly enough for Silver Samurai or any of the characters expected in the eastern influenced 'Origins' movie.

There are rumours that Wolverine's rivalry with Sabretooth is to be dealt with in the movie and should Sabretooth be given the treatment he was denied in the first X-Men movie, then perhaps a role as the feral villain's psychic assistant Birdy could be a possibility?

Gun toting Birdy was Sabretooth's getaway driver and helped him suppress his bloodlust. Since Sabretooth eventually tore her open to teach his father a lesson, she was obviously better at the driving part than she was the 'suppression' side of her job…
