The Blob May Return in X-MEN: APOCALYPSE
I haven't read an X-Men comic in years, but I don't really remember The Blob being a favorite character in the comic community. He seems like the kind of character that Stan Lee and Jack Kirby came up with five minutes before they had a pitch meeting with their bosses, and they were basically just trying to meet a quota of characters for the day. The character appeared in live action once before in X-Men Origins: Wolverine (as played by actor Kevin Durand), but everything in that entire movie is probably best forgotten, so let's move on.
Gamesradar seems to think that a recently posted Instagram photo means that The Blob will make an appearance in Bryan Singer's upcoming X-Men: Apocalypse. Why? Well, because some random guy says so. Benofk_funko seems to have visited the set of the film, and in his description of a photo, there's a brief mention of The Blob.
"Back from the #footage of #akkaba #xmenapocalypse at #montreal #mtl #canada #quebec 4 crazy days with #benhardy #JenniferLawrence #cody aka #nightcrawler..."
In the comments, the user claims that the character will be played by a 540 pound French Canadian actor, but it's unclear who that would be or even if this guy's claim is legit. Consider it a rumor for now, but are there any Blob fans who are excited about seeing the character get back in the mix in X-Men: Apocalypse? And am I mischaracterizing his reputation among comic readers? Let me know below.
