Poker Pro to Play in Movie

The upcoming X-Men spin off movie will have a poker pro playing a cameo. The Hugh Jackman movie, X-Men Origins: Wolverine, will have poker pro Daniel Negreanu playing himself, as well as poker, with the character of Wolverine. The movie, which is set to come out in 2009, will cover the origins of the X-Men's most iconic character, the indestructible mutant Wolverine. Phil Hellmuth was also offered a role to play in the movie but had to decline the offer due to scheduling conflicts. All that is known at this point about the scene is that Wolverine and Daniel's game is going to be interrupted by an attacker.
