Edi Gathegi
Darwin & Mister Terrific
Edi Gathegi played Darwin in X-Men: First Class, a mutant with the power to adapt to survive any environment. Ironically, his character was killed off early in the film, sparking controversy given Darwin’s supposed invincibility. Gathegi later joined the DC Universe with a far more central role.
Gathegi was cast as Mister Terrific in James Gunn’s upcoming Superman movie. This marks a significant upgrade from his previous comic book appearance, with Mister Terrific being a central character. Gathegi’s trajectory shows how early missteps in superhero films don’t always define a career.
