For those who don't know, Caliban is a character who originally appeared in "Uncanny X-Men" 148 as part of a special group of mutants known as Morlocks. His power, quite interestingly, allows him to sense and track down mutants, which means he could be of equal use to either the good guys or the bad guys. Nobody knows who is set to play Caliban yet, however, though a large amount of speculation and rumour regarding a suitable actor are sure to explode the internet in coming months.
