New Picture of Wikus from District 9 Ian DeVere, July 22, 2009 Sony Pictures has released a new picture of Wikus (played by Sharlto Copley) from District 9: Initial reactions from the forum seem to be that his ‘weapon’ is an alien spray-type of thing, a flamethrower, or both. Forum member and staff writer Scott points out that the canister on top of the gun is remarkably similar to the canister Wikus sprays himself with in the trailer: However, forum member Ronan adds to his theory that it’s a mix of both alien spray and a flamethrower with his analysis: So what do you think it could be?
