The last Wolverine casting story?

I didn't think it was possible, I thought perhaps they had reached critical mass for cast on this film, but no, one more to add to the list...

For a film that will last 2 hours or so, I just cant see how this many characters all with diverse powers, back stories and possible plotting could possibly fit into a film that is, if you believe the title, a Wolverine origins story. I am currently picturing each character just sticking there head into frame and saying 'hey I'm [insert name], how you doing?'.

But, this is alledgedly the last one, Daniel Henney has been cast in the role of David North AKA Agent Zero. Hit the links for some handy information.

Weapon X now looks like this:

Hugh Jackman (Wolverine), Liev Schreiber (Sabretooth), Ryan Reynolds (Deadpool), Taylor Kitsch (Gambit), Will.i.am (Wraith), Danny Huston (William Stryker) and Lynn Collins (Silver Fox).

That's seven characters and that does not include the other ancillaries such as Stryker, The Blob, Barnell and others. Now, don't get me wrong this could be awesome, it's just not what anyone expected. This will obviously be all about Weapon X, and that could mean all kinds of covert coolness, an unleashed Wolverine could be great fun on the silver screen.
