Whoa: The first X-Men movie could have starred Michael Jackson, Shaq, and Viggo Mortensen
You’ve probably heard the story about how Dougray Scott was originally cast as Wolverine in Bryan Singer’s 2000 X-Men movie before being replaced by Hugh Jackman, but did you know that Viggo Mortensen also came close to playing that part? Or that Michael Jackson met with producers to play Professor Xavier?Logan, Hugh Jackman’s last film playing Wolverine, is in theaters now, and since it’s been seventeen years since Jackman first played the part, The Hollywood Reporter reached out to original X-Men screenwriter David Hayter (yep, Solid Snake himself) to talk about what it was like in the casting sessions for that first movie back in the late ‘90s
