** Creator/RussellCrowe was the first choice for the role of [[ComicBook/{{Wolverine}} Logan]] before the casting of Creator/HughJackman. However, Crowe turned down the offer due to the fact that he didn't want to play another part similar to [[FourStarBadass Maximus]] from ''Film/{{Gladiator}}''. Crowe would eventually go on to portray [[Characters/ClassicalMythologyOlympians Zeus]] in ''Film/ThorLoveAndThunder'', and Nikolai Kravinoff in ''{{Film/Kraven the Hunter|2024}}''.

** Creator/MichaelChabon unsuccessfully pitched a story treatment focused on character development and interpersonal relationships, to the point that the first movie would have been almost entirely about building the team and the supervillains wouldn't have shown up until the second movie. Comicbook/JubileeMarvelComics would've been featured as one of the main characters, with the villains being a [[CanonForeigner group created for the film]] known as the League of Gentlemen.

* CareerResurrection: Creator/AnnaPaquin was largely written off as a OneHitWonder for ''Film/ThePiano''; this movie solidified her transition to adult star.
