You heard that right.
As revealed to Empire Magazine in January by director Bryan Singer and screenwriter Simon Kinberg, originally in the script for X-Men: Days of Future Past Wolverine, Charles Xavier and Beast were going to enlist the add of a young Juggernaut to help break Magneto out of the Pentagon.
Josh Helman, who went on to portray the young soldier William Stryker, was originally set to play the Juggernaut role. As he explained to IGN last March, “I originally got hired on a different role, which is no longer in the script – it was going to be young Juggernaut, So I was like, ‘Oh, s#!t. I’ve got to put on like 30 pounds!’ So I was training for like four weeks.
“And then I got a phone call,” he adds, “saying, ‘Good news and bad news. Bad news first: Juggernaut’s no longer in the script. Good news: They’re having trouble with another role and they want to see you for it.”
Now, conceptual illustrator Anthony Jones has updated his website with designs for the Juggernaut that could’ve been.
