Jackson's brother, superstar Michael Jackson, eyed his own X-Men role: Charles Xavier.
Do you know what happens to a role when it's recast? The same thing that happens to everything else. As it turns out, that infamous line might have been delivered by Janet Jackson, who passed on the role of Storm in 2000's X-Men. The pop icon came close to playing the weather-manipulating mutant in the big-screen adaptation of the Marvel comic book before the Bryan Singer film cast rising star Halle Berry .
In a 2017 interview, X-Men screenwriter David Hayter revealed that another pop star met for the role of Storm —"Vision of Love" singer Mariah Carey — as did Boyz n the Hood actress Angela Bassett, who was the filmmaker's first pick to play the mutant goddess.
