X-Men Origins: Wolverine star Danny Huston has signed on to star in Ridley's Scott's new version of the Robin Hood story, according to reports.

报道称，X战警起源：金刚狼前传影星Danny Huston已经签署Ridley's Scott的新版本故事Robin Hood的主演协议。

Danny Huston is the son of director John Huston

Trade paper The Hollywood Reporter said the 47-year-old actor would play King Richard I in the film, opposite Russell Crowe in the lead role.

The film has been shooting at locations across the UK for several months.

The as-yet-titled movie, which also stars Cate Blanchett as Maid Marian, is due for release in May 2010.

Huston is the son of actor and Annie director John Huston and the half-brother to actress Angelica.

He played Wolverine's nemesis William Stryker in the blockbuster（轰动，巨型炸弹） hit, and recently finished work on Clash of the Titans opposite Liam Neeson and Ralph Fiennes, in which he plays Poseidon.

Scott's movie was originally scheduled for release this year, but the production process has been turbulent（狂暴的，吵闹的）.

The original script, a revisionist take on the Robin Hood legend, which portrayed the hero in a less favourable light than normal, has been rewritten several times.

This, and concerns over strike action by the Screen Actors' Guild, caused filming to be delayed last year.
