That pic above is of David O'Hara as the villainous Mr X in Timur Bekmambetov's upcoming feature Wanted based on Mark Millar's graphic novel series and starring James McAvoy, Morgan Freeman, Angelina Jolie, Common, Terence Stamp and of course David O'Hara. Empire Online has our first look at five new images.

The film tells the story of one invisible drone's transformation into a dark avenger, introducing a superhero for a new millennium: Wesley Gibson. 25-year-old account manager Wes (James McAvoy) was the most pathetic, cube-dwelling hypochondriac the planet had ever known. His boss chewed him out hourly, his girlfriend cheated on him daily and his life plodded on interminably. Everyone was certain this weakling would never amount to anything. There was little else for Wes to do but wile away the days and die a slow, clock-punching death.

Until he became Wanted.

Thanks to Mike Markus for the heads up.
