Dominic Monaghan may have been killed off of Lost. But the actor has been resurrected to play Barnell Bohusk (aka Blackwing) in X-Men Origins: Wolverine.

Quick background on the character: Barnell's body changes into that of a humanoid-bird form, one with a beaked face, bulbous eyes, wing-like arms that give him the ability to fly and double-jointed knees. In mutant form, Blackwing also possesses heightened agility.

Monaghan joins a long, impressive cast that includes: Hugh Jackman (Wolverine), Liev Schreiber (Sabretooth), Ryan Reynolds (Deadpool), Taylor Kitsch (Gambit), Will.i.am (Kestrel), Danny Huston (William Stryker), and Lynn Collins (Silver Fox).

X-Men: Wolverine slashes its way into theaters on May 1, 2009.
