Dougray Scott had been originally cast as Wolverine for X-Men but dropped the role after Mission: Impossible 2 scheduling conflicts were a challenge. His move opened up the role of Wolverine over two decades of playing and redefining the character to Hugh Jackman. Afterward, he said that though the role stung upon being left behind, his other television roles were truly amazing such as Batwoman. Fans often argue about what would have transpired in Scott's performance of Wolverine, but undoubtedly Jackman's performance stood iconic.
