Just a few days ago I told you that Jessica Biel will play Viper next to Hugh Jackman in WOLVERINE, but now that deal is off and the
producer have hired Russian beauty and a Playboy star Svetlana Khodchenkova for the part. She has a number of Russian blockbusters behind her and the role of Irina in last year's TINKER, TAYLOR, SOLDIER, SPY. She should fit great in the role since, according to "MovieWeb", The Viper hails from an unknown Eastern European country. The character has a sorted history with the title character throughout the Marvel comics, a friendly ally at times, and a conniving enemy in other story lines. The story of the film, to be directed by James Mangold, will see WOLVERINE going to Japan to search for more clues about his true identity.
