Wolverine in XMen
Hello all. Having just listened to the commentary track on The new XMen DVD, Bryan Singer said that some one else played Wolverine for the first 1.5 months in filming, but had to leave. Does any one know who this is? Also, at the very end of the commentary, Bryan singer and his buddy say some one else approached him to play Dr. X and it would have been very interesting and different, but didnt want to say who that was, any idea who is was he was talking about??? Thanks alot

I believe that it was Dougray Scott who was originally asked to be Wolverine but he had to leave to go film Mission Impossible 2.

Yes it was Dougray Scott who had to pull out b/c of MI 2.... Considering what the role has done for Hugh Jackman's career, Id say D. Scott got the raw end of that deal... though comparing Scott's and Jackman's looks, I think Jackman was a better choice for the part.
Cant imagine who couldve played a better Dr. X... Patrick Stewart was practically born for that role.
