Photo Flash: First Look - 'Magnus Bane' of MORTAL INSTRUMENTS: CITY OF BONES

MTV News has revealed an exclusive image of 'Magical Magnus Bane' in the big-screen adaptation of Cassandra Clare's best-selling novel MORTAL INSTRUMENTS: CITY OF BONES. The film hits theaters on August 23rd. Check it out below!

"City of Bones" follows Clary Fray (Lily Collins), a seemingly average teen, who uncovers her secret roots in a society of half-angel, half-human warriors known as Shadowhunters, who are tasked with ridding the world of demonic forces. Along with her newfound Nephilim allies, Clary gets assistance from the magical Bane, who knows a lot more about her past than he leads on.

Actor Godfrey Gao, who portrays Magnus tells MTV News, "I love Magnus Bane's character because [he] can live forever and never age a day, and who doesn't want to live forever? I also love that Magnus is a flamboyant party animal, and it's fun to be described that way compared to the other characters I've portrayed previously. Magnus is so out there, he's definitely a character I will never forget!"
