Actress Lynn Collins recently told MTV News that playing Marvel mutant Silver Fox in the upcoming “X-Men Origins: Wolverine” not only allowed her to embrace her Native American roots, but also brought her very close to star Hugh Jackman.
“We’re lovers,” said Collins of her character’s relationship to Wolverine.
In Marvel Comics history, Silver Fox was a former love of Wolverine, and the pair lived together in the Canadian wilderness during the late-1900s before a series of tragic events (and crossed paths with other Marvel mutants) pushed their lives in dramatically different directions. Thus far, “X-Men Origins” seems to be based closely on that chapter in the comics history of Marvel’s favorite Canucklehead, with many of the characters who play significant roles in the print series’ over-arching story already cast in the film.
As for how she prepared for the role of Silver Fox, Collins said her male counterparts had a far rougher time of it when it came to getting into character.
“They were all on super-buff diets, and I had pizza most of the time,” said Collins. “They were so jealous of me.”
“I didn’t have to beef up in this movie,” she added. “I just had to wear skimpy clothes.”
Are you looking forward to seeing a film based on this chapter of Wolverine’s history? What other Wolverine stories would you like to see on the big screen?
