Filming is underway on the highly-anticipated X-Men: Days Of Future Past and director Bryan Singer and stars Ian McKellen, Patrick Stweart and Shawn Ashmore recently attended a hockey game in Montreal where they are currently shooting. During the game, actor Adan Canto, who may be known for his role on The Following, revealed via Twitter that he has joined the film’s impressive ensemble cast.

A few weeks back the actor revealed that he had a mystery project coming up and when asked by a fan if he could give a hint as to what the role was, Canto responded with:

“@kristagaz: @adancanto no hints on your new projects??” 1) I might turn into a ball of fire if someone pisses me off.

Well, there are a few mutants that the actor could be playing but there’s a high chance that he could be playing the Brazilian mutant Roberto da Costa, aka Sunspot, who was featured in the original version of the X-Men: First Class script. We can’t wait to see the first footage of this film at this year’s San Diego Comic-Con.

X-Men: Days Of Future Past is set to hit theaters July 18, 2014
