UPDATE: Henney in a large part of the movie, antagonist to Wolverine

He shoots, he’s quick and agile, he shoots some more.

Carson City (Montcalm County) native Daniel Henney is a loyal company man working for Col. William Stryker and the Weapon X program in “X-Men Origins: Wolverine” … and that means he grapples and trades verbal jabs with title character Wolverine.

Not bad for his first U.S. movie.   Henney does a great job immersing himself in the character as Agent Zero, the marksman with deadly accuracy.   Although he isn’t given a lot of lines or screen time, he does make the most of it… I’m sure we’ll be seeing more of him in the future.

Carson City native Daniel Henney shoots it up in first U.S. movie

Montcalm County native Daniel Henney may not be in the poster, but he is in the trailer, and presumably in several scenes of the latest X-Men movie “X-Men Origins: Wolverine” that opens on Friday.

Henney graduated from Carson City-Crystal High School in 1998, where he was a standout basketball player.

For the last few years, he has been acting in South Korea.

Now the 29 year old will share the screen with one of the most popular characters in the comic book/superhero world: Wolverine.

Henney plays “Agent Zero”, a member of the “Weapon X Program”, the group that gives Wolverine his adamantium skeleton and claws.

Okay, Fanboy alert.. I know, but here’s more about “Agent Zero” from IMDB:  Agent Zero is a mutant who can absorb the kinetic energy of an impact within certain limits without injury to himself.  Click here for more about his abilities in relation to Wolverine that could be a spoiler.

IMDB says Henney started modeling in 2001 and has worked in Italy, France, Paris, London, New York & Hong Kong.
