What's left behind the scenes
- Initially, Bryan Singer was supposed to direct the film. However, he preferred to head the production of 'Superman Returns' (2006). The baton was passed to none other than Brett Ratner. Bryan left the project royally, taking with him a large part of the filming crew, headed by composer John Ottman and screenwriters Michael Dougherty and Dan Harris.
- Interestingly, Singer stated that he would happily have worked on a threequel if the management of '20th Century Fox' had agreed to postpone the release date, but the studio simply preferred to find another candidate. That person was supposed to be Matthew Vaughn. However, the latter left the project after 9 weeks due to family circumstances. Then the director's chair was offered to the relatively available Brett Ratner. Brett, who had claimed the director's position even during the debut film of the franchise, readily agreed.
- Maggie Grace was in negotiations to get the role of Kitty Pryde, but it later turned out that the filming schedule of the film coincided with the filming schedule of the second season of the series 'Lost' (2004-2010). Threatening to get rid of Maggie’s character, the producers of the series managed to dissuade the actress from participating in the project. After Maggie left the project, the producers had to urgently look for a replacement. Ultimately, the role went to actor Elliot Page (formerly known as Ellen Page).
- Mike Vogel could have gotten the role of Angel. He had to choose between two films: 'X-Men: The Last Stand' (2006) and 'Poseidon' (2006). Mike chose the latter. Besides Mike, Jed Bernard and Nick Stahl also claimed the role at different times.
- For one of the action scenes, an exact replica of the 'Golden Gate Bridge' with a length of 2,500 feet was made.
- Philipp Rousselot was the cinematographer when Matthew Vaughn was credited as director, and also for a short period after Brett Ratner took the director's chair. Subsequently, Philipp left the project, stating that he had made the biggest mistake of his life by signing a contract to shoot the film. After his departure, Dante Spinotti was hired. However, he also had to leave the project a week before filming ended. James Muro completed the filming.
- One of the first versions of the angel wings was too heavy for Ben Foster, so they were remade from foam.
- Initially, Halle Berry was not going to appear in the film due to rather strained relations with Bryan Singer, as well as the minor role of her character. However, after Singer left the project, and 'Catwoman' (2004) flopped at the box office, Berry agreed to star in the film, but only with a significant increase in her character's screen time.
- This film was the first to feature all the main characters from the early 'X-Men' comics: Professor X, Cyclops, Jean Grey, Iceman, Beast, and Angel. The positive characters that viewers saw in the first or second parts of the trilogy appeared in the comics more than a hundred issues later: Storm, Wolverine, Colossus, and Juggernaut. Kitty Pryde appeared in the comics after the 'Dark Phoenix Saga,' and Rogue – several years after Kitty. Initially, Rogue was a member of 'Mystique's Brotherhood of Evil Mutants,' which also included Pyro, Blob, Avalanche, and Destiny.
- When Bryan Singer was the director, he intended to develop the plot around the Dark Phoenix. He also wanted Emma Frost / the White Queen to be the main villain. He was going to invite Sigourney Weaver for this role. After Singer left the project, it was decided not to include Emma Frost in the plot, and to make the story about the Dark Phoenix one of the plot lines, focusing on the 'cure' storyline. In the third film, Bryan intended to finally introduce Gambit into the plot. He wanted to cast Channing Tatum for the role. After Bryan's departure, Gambit's role was first reduced to a cameo, and then completely removed from the script.
- In the film, you can spot Fat and Spike from the "X-Statix" comics.
- Juggernaut's line, "Do you know who I am? I am Juggernaut, bitch," was taken from a web parody based on a scene from "X-Men The Animated Series".
- Summer Glau auditioned for the role of Kitty Pryde.
- The film's final scene with Magneto in Golden Gate Park was filmed in London. Originally, Magneto was supposed to be playing chess with Mystique, but Rebecca Romijn was unable to participate in the filming due to commitments to other projects.
- The scene in the "Danger Room" is based on the "Days of Future Past" comic, where the Sentinels hunted mutants in a world engulfed in numerous wars. In the comics, the events of the scene we see in the film take place in 2013.
- In the comics, the Lich is a small green boy. In the movie, he is an ordinary child.
- The scene on the bridge is based on “New X-Men” #147. Only in the comic did the action take place in Manhattan.
- The film takes the mutant nature of Juggernaut's abilities from the “Ultimate X-Men” universe, where he is a mutant.
- The film's plot is a combination of two graphic novels. The first is Joss Whedon's “Gifted,” which dealt with a cure for mutation, and the second is Chris Claremont and John Byrne's “The Dark Phoenix Saga” (Uncanny X-Men #129-137).
- The roles of Rebecca Romijn (Mystique) and James Marsden (Cyclops) were significantly reduced due to the actors' commitments to other projects.
- Initially, Elliot Page (formerly known as Ellen Page) declined the offer to play Kitty Pryde.
- The character Trask is Bolivar Trask. In the comics, he created the Sentinels – giant robots whose primary purpose was to hunt mutants.
- Hugh Jackman, Halle Berry, and Vinnie Jones also starred together in the film "Swordfish" (2001).
- To better play her role, Famke Janssen read many books about schizophrenia.
- In August 2007, Matthew Vaughn explained the reason for his departure from the project. According to Vaughn, the studio put a lot of pressure on him to complete filming in record time. At the same time, according to Vaughn, the script was rather raw and required careful refinement.
- The scene with Magneto in the park, as well as the post-credits scene, were not in the script and were added to the plot during filming. According to Ian McKellen and Patrick Stewart, even they did not know if these scenes would be included in the final cut.
- The film crew was not allowed to set up cameras on the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, so John Bruno and his assistants limited themselves to taking a large number of photographs from both the bridge and the shore. They complained that they were very unlucky with the weather – they arrived in San Francisco in the middle of summer, when the city is constantly shrouded in fog, and were forced to catch rare glimpses of clear skies. Some footage was shot from a helicopter, although they were also not allowed to fly too close to the bridge for safety reasons. As a result, about 90% of the 'live' shots of the bridge required digital correction – either a matching background or the addition of cars.
- To prepare for the role of Angel, Ben Foster specifically gained muscle mass – Foster, who hadn’t been particularly fond of sports before, worked out intensely in the gym for several months to make his character look more believable on screen, as he believed that huge wings on a frail body would look unconvincing.
- For filming episodes set several years earlier, actors Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen were 'de-aged' using computer graphics. In particular, photographs of Stewart from the filming of the first season of 'Star Trek: The Next Generation' (1987-1994) were used for this purpose.
- In the film, Callisto's abilities differ from those in the comics: while in the comics she had the ability to instantly calculate the solution to any problem, in the film she was given the abilities of Quicksilver (speed) and Caliban (detecting the strength of mutants).
- In the scene where Wolverine comes to rescue Jean Grey at Magneto's mutant camp, he is attacked by a mutant who throws spikes. Two spikes hit Wolverine in the abdomen, tearing his shirt. In the next scene, his shirt is already without the spike holes.
- Maggie Grace was in negotiations to play Kitty Pryde, but it was later discovered that the film's shooting schedule coincided with the shooting schedule for the second season of "Lost" (2004-2010). Threatening to write off Maggie's character, the show's producers dissuaded the actress from participating in the project. After Maggie left the project, the producers had to urgently find a replacement. Ultimately, the role went to Elliot Page (formerly known as Ellen Page).
- Mike Vogel could have played the role of Angel. He had to choose between two films: "X-Men: The Last Stand" (2006) and "Poseidon" (2006). Mike chose the latter. Jed Bernard and Nick Stahl also auditioned for the role at different times.
- This film was the first to feature all the main characters from the earliest X-Men comics: Professor X, Cyclops, Jean Grey, Iceman, Beast, and Angel. The positive characters that viewers saw in the first or second parts of the trilogy appeared in the comics more than a hundred issues later: Storm, Wolverine, Colossus, and Boom-Boom. Kitty Pryde appeared in the comics after "The Dark Phoenix Saga," and Rogue appeared several years later. Originally, Rogue was a member of Mystique's Brotherhood of Evil Mutants, which also included Pyro, Blob, Avalanche, and Destiny.
- Juggernaut's line, "Do you know who I am? I'm the Juggernaut, bitch!" was taken from a web parody based on a scene from "X-Men: The Animated Series."
- The film adopted Juggernaut's mutant nature of abilities from the "Ultimate X-Men" universe, where he is a mutant.
- The Trask character is Bolivar Trask. In the comics, he created the Sentinels—giant robots whose main purpose was to hunt mutants.
- Hugh Jackman, Halle Berry, and Vinnie Jones also starred together in the film "Swordfish" (2001).
