Tim Pocock attended the Los Angeles Industry Screening of Xmen Origins: Wolverine at Grauman's Chinese Theater on April 28, 2009 in Hollywood, California. Also in attendance were fellow cast and crew from the movie, and stars such as Mel Gibson, Mary Lynn Rajskub, Anjelica Huston and Black Eyed Peas. More photos coming soon.

We can't believe the time has finally arrived! This week X-Men Origins: Wolverine opens in movie theatres internationally. To those that catch one of the first screenings, let us know your thoughts.

An unverified source has contacted us suggesting that Tim Pocock will be joining the cast of Australian soap opera 'Home and Away'. We'll keep you informed should we receive any confirmation on this exciting possibility!

Many fans have noticed Tim Pocock starring in the latest Volkswagen Australia Golf commercial, which is currently airing on TV. The 30-second ad features Pocock with a father figure at a car dealership. Pocock asks the salesman: "What about an 8-speaker sound system?". Well done Tim!

Thank you LO and Volkswagen Australia.

Tim Pocock has now officially been seen by millions. 20th Century Fox premiered the third and final 60-second television spot for X-Men Origins: Wolverine during American Idol. The advertisement, titled 'Legends', has since been aired internationally and introduces the team of Mutants to feature in the film. Included are Ryan Reynolds as Deadpool, Taylor Kitsch as Gambit and of course Tim Pocock as a young Cyclops.

Thank you Twentieth Century Fox Film Corporation.

According to XMF, the trailer for X-Men Origins: Wolverine should be out by 12 December 2008. For the United States, this will coincide with the release of The Day the Earth Stood Still.

Meanwhile, Hollywood Elsewhere is reporting possible conflict on the set of X-Men Origins: Wolverine. It hints that 20th Century Fox's co-Chairman and CEO Tom Rothman may be interfering with the creative vision of director Gavin Hood.

The news of Scott Summers' character having a cameo in X-Men Origins: Wolverine has stirred continuity disapproval from fans of the X-Men film series. Some think 20th Century Fox are damaging the movie's potential reputability, with an unnecessary attempt to maximise cameos for mainstream appeal. Others recognise that they could be preparing audiences for a young Cyke lead in other spin offs movies (see Tim Pocock as Cyclops in X-Men: First Class?).

The film is set approximately 17 years prior to the X-Men film, when Wolverine and Cyclops appeared to met for the first time. So there has been lots of speculation on how Tim's character will fit into the movie. Some possibilities are:

* There will be a tie in with Stryker bringing his son to Professor X
* Scott is actually someone else who has used shapeshifting/metamorphosis to appear as Cyclops
* Scott has his memory wiped after an encounter with Wolverine
* Scott is blindfolded during an encounter with Wolverine
* Scott appears in a premonition or dream sequence
* Scott will bump into Wolverine incidentally, such as at a grocery store
* Wolverine will see Scott on TV with Professor X
* At some point in the movie there will be a character montage
* There will be a tie in with Gambit or Mr Sinister or Sabertooth sub-plots
* Wolverine and Scott are subject to experiments by the same scientists

What possibility has the most likelihood? We hope to receive a confirmation soon.

Update #1: Wolverine and Silver Fox may rescue Cyclops from captivity in Stryker's prison, while he is blindfolded. According to Wikipedia, this was confirmed in the January 2009 edition of Empire Magazine.

Back in 2006, Tim Pocock was in a music video for 'Get Right Back' by Australian girl group Raen. He's only in it for a split-second, so if you blink you'll literally miss it. Look out for an orange T-Shirt around the 1:45 minute mark.

Raen are best known for their single 'Drama Fanatic' and are performing at gay club Midnight Shift in Sydney this weekend.

Thank you Broadjam.

Possibly a reason why young Scott Summers is appearing in X-Men Origins: Wolverine, is to to prepare audiences for a bigger role in X-Men: First Class. Likewise, 20th Century Fox may be trying to attract to the box office fans that complained Cyclops' character was unjustifiably limited in the X-Men trilogy.

Is there hope for Tim Pocock to be cast as a young Cyclops in X-Men: First Class? Since Tim Pocock's role is only a cameo in X-Men Origins: Wolverine, 20th Century Fox may be using it as a low risk way to test his potential.

We all know he looks the part perfectly!

Update #1: Hollywood Reporter has confirmed that X-Men: First Class will focus on a young set of mutants. They also hint that the focus could be on certain characters like Cyclops or some of the other students attending the mutant school. Josh Schwartz, creator of Gossip Girl and The O.C., is in negotiations to write the flick.

An online video demonstrating Tim Pocock's acting ability (see Tim Pocock Show Reel) has been viewed by thousands since the news of his casting in X-Men Origins: Wolverine. However, Internet users from sites such as YouTube, Superhero Hype and Film School Rejects, haven't hesitated to voice their opinions of this relatively unknown actor:

If you had to pick one well-known Hollywood actor with a resemblance to Tim Pocock, who would it be? Don't be lazy and pick James Marsden. We pick Tim as a Greg Germann (Friends with Money, Ally McBeal) 30 years ago, or are we way off?

As they appear to do with many of their artists, theatrical agents Meissner Management have released an official showreel promoting Tim Pocock as a screen actor. The show reel is four minutes and features two contrasting scenes. In the first scene, Tim flirts with a young woman outdoors. The second scene is an intense melodrama, where he threatens and makes accusations against his father.

Thank you Meissner Management.
