X-Men Days of Future Past: Cable & Jubilee Almost Made The Roster

Producer/writer Simon Kinberg tells Empire that they did consider using the fan favorite character Cable for in Bryan Singer's "X-Men Days of Future Past".- in fact he was being looked at for a pivotal role, the mutant whose mind would be sent back in time.


"Initially, we explored the notion of Bishop being sent back, Cable being sent back, a new character being sent back, who we could cast old and then sort of cast in the prominent part of his life as a new young actor."

It was ultimately decided that Wolverine (Hugh Jackman) would be the one sent back into the past. Bishop (Omar Sy) is in the movie in a smaller role.

Meanwhile, various pieces of concept art from costume illustrator Phillip Boutte Jr. are now online and offer alternate costumes that were considered for characters in the time spanning sequel.

Another one does as well because the character wasn't in the final film-Jubilee.

Actress Kea Wong played  the character in both "X2" and "X-Men: The Last Stand". Actress Katrina Florece  played her in the first "X-Men" pic.
