X-Men (2000)

Trivia: In the comics, Mystique in her true form wears a narrow white gown. The reason she is practically nude in the films was because it made it easier for the special effects team to morph her into other characters. Rebecca Romijn has said that wearing nothing but prosthetics and blue body paint was liberating.

X-Men (2000)

Trivia: Chris Potter, who voiced Gambit in the animated series, was brought in to audition for the role of Cyclops. By his own admission, he didn't want to play the character, and wanted to hold out and play Gambit in a live action role, feeling that Gambit would finally appear in the next installment following the release of every film. Potter for his part admitted he was too old to play the character by the time he was finally adapted to live action in 2009.
