12 Things That Almost Completely Changed 2016’s Biggest Movies
6. Wolverine Almost Had Mystique's Mentor Role - X-Men Apocalypse
The Original Plan: Earlier versions of the Apocalypse script had Wolverine appear in a larger role as a mentor to the younger X-Men.
What Happened?: It was felt that Jackman's role ended up detracting from Jennifer Lawrence's part as Mystique, so his role was scaled back and altered to be a cameo at Alkali Lake, while Mystique became the sole mentor.
Did It Work?: Not really. Lawrence couldn't even pretend to seem interested, and though Jackman's cameo was enjoyable, it also felt pretty tacked on considering he's in and out of the movie in mere minutes.
Given Logan's no-nonsense personality, it could've been a lot of fun seeing him reluctantly helping the younger mutants prepare to fight Apocalypse. Understandably, though, some fans would've complained that the film was just "Wolverine and friends" yet again.
