Former 3LW singer Naturi Naughton originally gained critical acclaim for her portrayal of rap’s Queen Bee Lil’ Kim in the 2009 biopic ‘Notorious’.   And though making minor appearances on the big and small screen since then, reports have now surfaced the 27-year-old budding actress is preparing to join the cast of the ‘Wolverine’ sequel.

Via BET:

Naughton will play Cecilia Reyes, a former X-men member and doctor, who has the abilities to generate a forcefield that is tied to her life force; she can also use that force to provide her with basic weapons like spikes, hammers and battering rams.

Though the movie won’t be released until 2012, fans can still catch Naughton on NBC’s ‘The Playboy Club’ this fall.

Naturi Speaks On Playing Lil’ Kim

Former 3LW star Naturi Naughton spoke with Black Tree Media recently about playing the role of rapper Lil’ Kim in the forthcoming Notorious B.I.G movie (due in theatres this month). I’m kinda iffy about her being chosen to play Kim and watching the snippets within the feature still has me feeling the same. I guess time will tell if she holds her own with the role in the movie.

Any thoughts?


Naturi Covers KING

naturi+lil+kim+king Naturi Covers KINGPeep Naturi Naughton on the cover of the latest issue of KING Magazine. Some of you may remember her from her stint in R&B trio 3LW. Well, the 23 year old, having put her solo ambitions on hold, is set to star as none other than pint-sized rapper Lil’ Kim in the upcoming Biggie Smalls biopic ‘N.O.T.O.R.I.O.U.S’ (which hits theatres early 2009).
I definitely saw Naturi as having the standout voice in the now defunct 3LW and didn’t like the way she was ousted from the trio. For that reason, I’m kinda rooting for her to be successful in her own right – so much so that I’m overlooking that atrocity of a single she tried to drop last year (anyone remember ‘Real Chicks’?). Providing she turns in a good performance in her role in the movie, she may well establish herself in her own right.
