Throughout the movie history of the X-Men, there have been a number of especially terrible casting decisions plaguing the Marvel heroes. The mutant heroes of the X-Men rank as some of Marvel’s most iconic figures, and their cinematic history has seen many characters adapted into live-action. Fox’s X-Men movie franchise saw many X-Men heroes and villains appear, many of whom are played by multiple actors across its different timelines.
Though some of the casting decisions for X-Men characters were perfect – like Hugh Jackman as Wolverine or Patrick Stewart as Professor X – there were many others that were not. Some were actors cast based on popularity and didn’t seem to understand the source material, while others were seemingly cast for their physical appearance rather than being genuinely suited to the role. Throughout Fox’s X-Men movie timeline, there were many poor casting choices, and here are 10 of the all-time worst.
10. Taylor Kitsch As Gambit (X-Men Origins: Wolverine, 2009)
9. Ben Foster As Angel (X-Men: The Last Stand, 2006)
8. will.i.am As John Wraith (X-Men Origins: Wolverine, 2009)
7. Daniel Cudmore As Colossus (X2: X-Men United, 2003)
6. Danny Huston As William Stryker (X-Men Origins: Wolverine, 2009)
5. Halle Berry As Storm (X-Men, 2000)
4. Oscar Isaac As Apocalypse (X-Men: Apocalypse, 2016)
3. Shawn Ashmore As Iceman (X-Men, 2000)
2. Tyler Mane As Sabretooth (X-Men, 2000)
1. Vinnie Jones As Juggernaut (X-Men: The Last Stand, 2006)
