The seriously beautiful Fan Bingbing has successfully played a wide variety of roles in China, and no doubt many of our readers love her already, but recently she has been planning to break into the Western market as well. In her earlier entry in the Marvel universe, Iron Man 3, she was Blink-and-you'll-miss-her, and you needed to be in the right country to be able to get a glimpse of her AT ALL. But in X-Men: Days of Future Past she plays the inter-dimensional mutant called Blink, who actually is necessary for the story and gets some decent screen-time.
Also, yesterday we learned she'll be playing Jackie Chan's niece in Renny Harlin's Skiptrace. The lady is in the news!
So once again here is a gallery, with eleven pictures of one of my favourite thespians. As a quiz, click through the images and guess which eleven movies they're from. No competition, no prizes, just for fun, try to see how far you get without using IMDb. I'll post the answers next Thursday (or earlier if someone has all eleven of them right).
And here she is in X-Men: Days of Future Past.
This picture isn't part of the quiz yet, but all the other pictures are. Have a go through the gallery and see how many you know!

Huh? Another image? Ah...
This is the last time I'll crack this joke, honest!
But it does show the naming convention we use at twitch: Fan is her family name, and that comes first in many Asian countries.
