11 Reshoots That Actually Improved Movies

8. X-Men: Apocalypse

Mad Max Fury Road
20th Century Fox

The Reshoot: Several months before release, Bryan Singer reshot a few weeks worth of footage for the film, and though we don't know the exact nature of these scenes, it's known that Hugh Jackman was called in for the reshoots.

Considering that he ended up reprising his Wolverine role for a brief cameo, it's safe to say that the Weapon X set-piece was significantly restructured to accommodate his iconic character fairly late in the game.

How It Improved The Movie: More Wolverine is never a bad thing, and considering that this sequence is fairly boring without his cameo, it was absolutely a smart choice to throw it in there. As for how exactly the scene originally played out? We'll have to wait for the Blu-ray.
